ANOTHER YEAR..
waaaah!... how time flies.. i'm 27 with an 8mth old in hand.. ;) life has been bliss so far.. wat more can i ask for?... i'm contented..

as a ritual, i would normally list my "achievements" for the year.. but heck, i dun think i've got like a whole load of list... i guess the only achievement that i can definitely be proud abt is the fact that i delivered my son without the help of the epidural!... that was the greatest achievement and something i'm damn proud of myself in all of my 27yrs on earth besides that one time in 1996 when i achieved something else too tat was beyond my (and everyone else for that matter) expectation.. ;)

i had a great bday celebration which started with the chalet with Dearest and Eshan. We brought Eshan for a swim and my oh my! how he lurrrvessss the water!.. hahahha.. of course his first reaction was wailed out loud when i suddenly, without prior introduction to the pool, put him on the baby float..

but after some intro from Dearest, he "splashed" himself abt.. hehehe...

dah relak jack..

trying to swim on his own..

after the "strenous" swim, he was flat out!... totally wasted in less than 5mins after his bath..

on Mon, bro treated the whole family to Straits Kitchen - my favourite makan buffet place! BEST!!..... and got the bunch to sing that irritating Hey! Hey! Hey! Happy Birthday! song.. aiyoh!... soooo blardy paiseh coz i was the first one they sung to that nite!!... kwang.. kwang.. kwang...

Us @ Straits

he was happy with just Gerbers Sweet Potato biscuits.. hahhaha...

on the DAY itself, we went out shopping!!... shop! shop! shop! till my legs felt so freakin sore!!.... and it was also the first public transport outing for Eshan! i told Dearest, wat a day to choose to go public!.. got sooo many things to carry with a child on hand plak tu!!... but i'm glad Eshan pretty much enjoyed the time in the MRT "monkeying" with the handles... hahhaha....

while waiting for the bus..

tgh tangkap mood..

his first ride on the MRT.. a bit apprehensive but excited at the coolness of the handle!

he's bored coz he's strapped on to Dearest..

this is wat happens once he's not!

see how happy he is "monkeying" around!..

Dearest have been asking me wat i want for my bday!... but.. but.. but... i still dunno wat i want for my bday!!.... i've got nothing in mind coz at the moment, i've dun really have a need or a want... hmmmm.... u've gotta wait dear.. i cannot decide if i'd wear a watch..

this was us on my bday!... i lurve this pix... it juz seemed silly! ;)

We celebrated Hari Raya Haji yest.. and i made my special egg tarts.. annnnddd, i've got orders for them from Mak. but she asked for 250pcs!! aiyoh!..... tat's like A LOT lor!.. i juz hope i can find mini cups so tat it's a bit less taxing and i dun have to reject her.. If i decide to do it, Dearest better help me in taking care of Eshan coz it'll sure take up the whole day!... it is afterall for his Mother!... hehhehee... oh!.. i'm very happy that it's well-received by everyone..

on SALE now..

now, i'm confident that i can sell off these tarts.. ;) so if anyone's interested, i'm selling the tarts @ $0.60 per pce (min 20pcs, max 100pcs only). no delivery. collect after 11am. Tarts guaranteed fresh and should only be consumed within the day. ;)

i've been wanting to do Madeleines for the longest time! i already have the recipe but i cannot find the container (or wateva u call it!).. so, i had to make do with baulu-lookalike shaped containers... i berangan want to do it during one of my off days.. but too bad lah... i think i shall try attempting it on Sunday instead!...

** it sucks that my cam is out of order!!... the pix quality is sooooo bad, it strained my eyes!... bummer!!**

WOWWEE!
i think i'm quite late to say this but it's better late than never!... ;)

CONGRATULATIONS HADY!!!

i really underestimated you this time but you've really done us proud.. i dun really care if it's really your good looks that got you to the top but you're the FIRST Asian Idol and that's the bottom-line...

truthfully, i dun really like Mike's voice and the Indian and Viet girl dun cut it... so, to me, it's bet Mau, Jac & Hady... anyways, i was dozing on and off throughout the 2hr show!.. but thankfully, i managed to wake up in time to see the results!... i was very much super excited waiting in anticipation who the winner would be.. my heart was beating pretty wildly as if i was rite there standing on stage.. hahhahaa... *yah!.. aku perasan!*

and after the results were out, i laffed to myself uncontrollably coz i juz couldn't believe it and Hady's first reaction was pretty priceless coz i'm damn sure he, himself could not believe it!!... oh! and the price that came along with the title is very, very nice indeed!... i wouldn't mind it at all!....

anyways, if i had known that he was singing Taufik's song, it would've motivated me to vote more for him but well, wat's done cannot be undone.. and if it was really as tight a race as it sounded, then, my 1 and only vote for him did make a difference afterall! ;)

gdnite ppl... i'm turning in now... i've enjoyed yesterday and today very muchie!!... posts of these will be updated later as a summary of how i've spent my bday this yr... for now, i hope to enjoy a gd nite rest so that i'll be fresh and chirpy to welcome and celebrate MY day tml!!... cheers y'all!

WHO'S GONNA BE THE FIRST?
i have to do a quickie here.. packing our clothes to go for the chalet later.. yippee!... we can't wait and we certainly hope the weather's on our side coz we wanna bring Eshan for his first swim!!... ;)

anyways, can i juz say that Hady impressed me with his second song yesterday?... i've never seen him sing that kind of song and i was impressed though i must also add that there were some parts that we couldn't make out what he was singing.. hahaha.. but overall, it was impressive.. guess i underestimated him.. hehehe....

oh!.. can i also say that he's not a heart-throb when his hair is soooo kentalans in those short clips when they interviewed him... goodness gracious!... if he wants those female votes that they were all raving abt, then, i thank god the stylist (on the day of competition) know that that hair's gotta go!...

so, the question is now, who do i vote?.. coz i do lurrrve, lurrrve, lurrrrve that Phil girl... and i also think that Jac deserve it too with her freakin powerful vocals that made my hair stands!.. but i dun quite like her Gemilang performance.. very anggek leh... y eh?.. she wasn't feeling well is it?...

howell... i'm only gonna give 1 vote today... but i'm still deciding.. the only reason i'm not excited abt this Asian Idol is coz they chose to send Hady instead of Taufik!!!.... coz i'm damn sure that Taufik will make a better representative of SG!.. i'm sorry to all Hady fans.. but this is a fact i simply cannot ignore!!.... and yah!... call me sourgrapes but i juz can't make myself excited coz my Idol was not chosen!...kwang.. kwang.. kwang... but hey!.. in Idol, that one vote can make a lot of difference mah, rite??... ;)

DONE PACKING..
yes!... i'm done packing!... my tables are cleared.. only left with a few stuffs that i need till next yr.. i've only 2 boxes to bring over + 1 box to bring home!.... urrrgghh!!... dun really have that much space at home to put anything!.... grrrr....

anyways, i hope nyai's blood results is OK enuff for her to go home today.. mummy booked us a chalet this weekend. If nyai's out, i might consider doing a bbq to celebrate my bday.. hahhhaa.... dah tuek pun nak celebrate!... hey!.. but birthdays are impt to me hokay!... :p

i did tiramisu last nite.. i hope it's ok today.. if not, i will not attempt to do it anymore!... it's my second try... but from the looks of it, i dun think it'll turn out ok... sucker!

ever since there's no que at the Donut Factory, i've been having a weekly fix on those damn, nice donuts!... haiz... there goes my intention of losing weight!... so far, i've only went out jogging ONCE 2 wks ago!... after sooooo long, i didn't know i had it in me to run at least 1km non-stop!.. hehehehe.... after that eventful day, it's been raining and nyai's in hospital.. so, i've got no choice but to postpone that every-Mon, Wed, Fri-jog intention!... baaaah!!... will i EVER lose weight before the next one comes along??!!.... gaaaaah!!!

WORRIED..
i went to see Nyai last nite and let's just say she's not looking all too good... i'm pretty worried.. i've never seen her in such a state.. and it never occured to me that one day, she would need to be propped up, coaxed into eating her medicine and wat have yous....

it really saddens me to see her in such a state. i held back my tears coz my aunties were there and i didn't wanna let loose my tears coz i know i won't be able to stop if i start.. she called out for Eshan yest but we never bring Eshan to the hospital coz of the germs found in hospital and all... anyways, i'm praying she'll get well soon!...

i hope today's the last day they inject that "special" antibiotic into her coz i'm pretty sure it's this antibiotics that's making her drowsy and weak. and i cannot bear see her hands full of bruises coz of all those needles they try sticking into her!... hmmm.....

dear readers, pls pray for her speedy recovery... thank you...

ALMOST FREE, I HOPE...
after the wk long madness, i hope i'm almost free now to do my things and start packing!... but really, i'm actually juz procastinating.. i dun really wanna move and pack my belongings... gaaaah!!... how i hate it!... after wat seemed like the umpteenth time i pack my stuff since i've been here, one would have tot i'm used to it.. but noooooo!!... this time, i really have to pack and throw all that i dun need coz the new place will be freakin tiny and i can't be freakin messy like i used to and i can't hang my favourite Taufik, Anuar and Clay poster anywhere in the new office!!... *booo hoooo hoooo!!!*...

anyways, now that i'm almost free and still in procastination, being me, i started thinking of Eshan's bday (which is abt 4mths away)... i feel like doing a bday party for him but Dearst dun think it's necessary! party pooper! but i definitely won't do a big bday bash for him lah... i only like to celebrate such stuffs with close family and friends.. but i do hate celebrating belated bdays and his bday falls on a Thurs!... gaaaah!... so how eh?.... hmmmm.... i really can't decide!....

Eshan has spotted 2 bottom teeth!.. yippee!!.... 2 down, a lot more to go!... hehehhee.... when we're lying down, he'll try to use our body to stand up.. but not strong enuff to walk yet though... insya-allah.. the day will come... merangkak pun belum betul!.. hehehe.... i've decided.. the pacifier will go once he's spotted that 2 front teeth!... i'll try very hard NOT to give him the puting.. thank god he only asked for it when he wants to go sleep. so, we see how eh?....

oh!.. i've to put this down.. for the first time in my whole entire life, not only did my aunty paid me a visit just abt a wk + since she last visited, she came in FULL force!... and i really mean FULL force!... for the past 4days, it juz doesn't seem like it wanted to end!... there's soooo much so tat it spilled it's forces on to everywhere.. yes!.. it's that gross!.... thank god it 's kinda died down today.. i've to monitor this and juz hope that it doesn't happen again!...

bummer!... i'm hungry and it's raining... shall i sprint to coffee bean next door?... brrrrr!!.....

I'M PISSED!
i can't believe that my aunty came to visit me yesterday! it's only been abt 1.5wks since she last came to visit!... and it's a blardy painful experience siak!.... ever since childbirth, the experience have been nothing but pleasant. sometimes, i even forget that she's in!... but yesterday, while lying on bed, it brought me back to the nite before Eshan was born.. it's that same pain-in-the-back feeling!.... macam nak terberanak lagi plak!...

btw, experienced mummies out there, is it normal for your menses to be very irregular after childbirth? my menses have been very irregular. normally it's super late and never this super fast. i read that it's coz the hormones are still not balance. baaaah!!!.....

anyways, it's too blardy painful rite now!.... and it's soooo blardy uncomfortable.. gaaaah!!!

MOTHER vs FATHER
I sooooo believe that a mother's love can never be compared with a father's love. Our love is very different to that of theirs.

I'm sooooo blardy frustrated rite now!!!! :'(

A NEED OF A HOLIDAY!
i'm in need of a holiday.. a REAL need!.... when was my last holiday?... hmmm... let me see... it's my honeymoon!.. yah... believe me.. it's been THAT long!.... :(

but with Eshan still soooo young, we can't go by air. it's got to be by land or by sea... i'm planning a holiday with the Gang for either the CNY period or the Good Friday hols next yr to Malacca or somewhere across the causeway... but i've decided by hook or by crook, even if tis hol with them dun materialise, i will still go for that long-awaited holiday! i shall drag Dearest and Eshan to Bintan instead!... ;)

anyways, any suggestions for a holiday in Malacca or someplace resort-y?.... i dun think we need to do shopping... so, a place to relax and pig out is good!.. hehehee.... btw, Gang, ur comments on my email, plsssssss... thank u very much!... :D

*****

wahlau!.. my bro juz msged me to tell me that he's driving up to Hollywood tml!.... how insanely jealous i am rite now!!!.... kwang.. kwang.. kwang.. he'd better buy something good back!.. hahhaha... ;)

IN "N.S"
oh! my!.. i've been "missing" for sooooo long!.... my workstation is in a total mess like a hurricane have just passed by scattering my papers all over the table that i can't even find my pens, stapler, calculator and puncher sometimes!... :( yup! it's that bad!

now that practically everyone has gone for their "National Service" (N.S) leaving me and 2 other colleagues in the office serving our N.S locally. i tot it would be less hectic here once they all left but lo and behold, i received calls after calls since Day 1!... grrrr.... sometimes, i dun get it!.. if u know that u'll be away for this period of time, why don't you tell earlier that you have to come back early for wateva reasons u may have?... like i got a call from this guy who says his bro's wedding is the day that he was supposed to come back.. like hello?!!... dun tell me u dunno when ur bro wedding is earlier?!!... wahlau eh!!!....

ok... wateva lah eh.... now, i would like to take revenge updating the times that i've gone "missing"..

To Gather-gather

we had a gathering with the girls sometime in mid November? it was to celebrate Rosma's and Izy's bday but Rosma had to leave earlier so, Izy had no choice but to blow out that candle alone.. but it was D gathering of all the kids!... my oh my!.. how time flies.... from having only 2 kids at every gathering, we now have a sudden burst of baby shower with 6 kids in the house!.. come Feb, another addition to the group!.. wowee!!....

Izy have this rocking horse at home and let Eshan had a go at it... but this is how he looked like on it!

he totally dun get it.. i think he wants to be on the real thing instead!.. hahahhaa....

Carolyn's Babe

We welcome Joseph, Carolyn's babe to the world on 22 Nov.. back at TMC, 5th floor, reminded me of my days at TMC, holding Eshan in my arms!... and Joseph is soooo tiny juz like Eshan!... and my!... wat freakin long eye-lashes he has!!.....

Buddy's Wedding

I attended my work buddy's wedding event... she looked radiant and soooooo different from her everyday look!.. hahaha... unlike my ex buddy who still looked the same as when she left us a yr ago!... kwang.. kwang.. kwang...

Audi Meets Eshan

We attended Dearest's colleague's son's wedding (:D It's never a direct relationship when u attend a malay wedding aye?) and met Audi (Joy's son) for the first time!... Audi was quiet but he's sooooo adorable!.... his pink, pouty lips are soooo kissable, i tell ya!...

Eshan

Eshan is beginning to crawl and he is strong enuff to walk in his walker!.. YEAY!!.... he recognises people oredi and depending on his mood, he will cry when people he dunno carries him.. if not, he's good as long as that person carries and walks him around.. sememangnya anak tu kuat jalan mcm mak dia jugak!.. hehehee... ;)

he's eating well, al-hamdulillah... we want to advocate healthy eating for him. I had a disagreement with Daddy.

Daddy: Let's feed him ice-cream.
Me: NO WAY!... no ice-cream!!
Daddy: When u were at this age, i've already begun feeding you with ice-cream and chocs.
Me: yah!.. see wat i've become?!... *shot him an angry look*

u may agree with my Daddy too.. but to each his own. I dun want my children to be as fat as me. I would prefer them to be like their Papa - Healthy living. His way of life. Gaaaah!.. it drives me crazy but with the no. of obese kids on the rise today and ppl suffering from heart diseases and wat nots, i'll play safe. He's still on his carrot, spinach and pumpkin diet. He don't like potato... but i'll try to do whip potato for him and see how he likes it..

ooooh!... he's also spotting that first white teeth at the bottom front... everytime he drinks, he will bite the cup and i can hear the sound of his teeth hitting the cup.. exciting!!... hahhahaa...

recently, we took a family picture at Vivo Giant while queing to pay for our purchases.. and i can't help giggling looking at his cute face in this shot!

and this shot i took with him while at someone's house.. he has the same look in all of the shots taken - big, round, shocked eyes!... ;D

i thank god everyday for blessing us with an adorable and non-fussy son.. al-hamdulillah... he's such a joy in our lives, i really cannot imagine what i'd do without him!...

Other Ramblings..
after abt 1.5yrs of using my digi cam, it has died on me... i think i need to get it repaired!.. urrrghh!!... this is irritating!.... my cams keep dying on me after a yr of use!... i hope the repair will not cost me a bomb!

Nyai is not feeling well... mummy warded her in hospital yesterday coz she may be dehydrated from all that pooing she did the past week... health has not been good to her this year.. she's been in and out of hospital the past 6mths.. pls doa for her speedy recovery. Eshan needs her at home!... :(

My facial exam is set on 5th and 12th Jan.. my god!... it's tooo soon! i've not really memorised the steps... and i've yet to study the whole freakin facial theory book!.. :( how to sit for exam?!!!!!

ok.. for all of the pictures of the events stated above, i've posted them on my multiply for your viewing pleasure.. Makcik Zanna, i hope u berpuas hati dgn gambar2 Eshan yg sedia ada.. hehehhe..

WHERE HAVE I BEEN?
my god!.. i've been on hiatus for far too long!.... been terribly bz like a buzzing bee!.... oh gosh... i hope this week will pass in a flash!...

so wat's been up?... Eshan's trying to crawl... YEAY!.. the moment we've been waiting for.. yah.. as parents, we cannot wait for him to start crawling.. dun care how many people have told us that we dun want that to happen yet.. but noooo.... being the stubborn and excited parents we are, we juz want him to quickly crawl and quickly walk.. hehehhee... ;)

i also saw a hint of whitish line on his lower gums last fri... no wonder he's been suckling and pouting his mouth like a fish the past few weeks!... itchy lah... :D

other than that, i received orders for my egg tarts for Sat from Zetajones... al-hamdulillah, everything went well.. except, i couldn't make any extras coz that last batch of tarts fell and shattered!... urrrgghh... The comments from her was that all 100 pcs was swiped up within the day... (good!... coz it will not be nice if u keep it till the next day anyways!...) and that next time she can order from me again... insya-allah.... i'll take.. ;) but boy, was it hard work!....

aaaah!... back to work lah now.... :( something came up.. i hope i won't be asked to do something that i know for sure will be against my integrity... :((

THE MOVE
It's the big move today... abt 80% of the staff has gone to the new building. it's juz us now.. we have the toilet all to ourself.. i can sh!t all i want without fear of anyone coming in smelling my nasty sh!t!... hehehhe...

I'm sure gonna miss the teh-lite.. all thanks to Rosma who introduced this tea to me!... Ah-Eng Cafe closed it's doors yesterday after 32yrs in operation... *bummer*..

THINK YOU'RE SMARTY PANTS?
i have a long overdue post waiting to be published... but i cannot afford to edit those pictures... whilst in the midst of all these madness in preparation for the upcoming "National Service", i managed to do this "Quiz" to test my almost-dying-brain-cells...

My Score: 28 out of 30

now do u think u know the answers??.... ;)



p/s: let me know wat u think the missing 2 phrases are and i'll let u know if it's right or not! I'm DYING to know wat the 2 missing answers are!!!.....

STILL NOT SO FRESH..
I'm back in a still-not-so-fresh-self... still having a running nose though the leak is under control. but my voice has turned coarse though i dun think it sounds like one mak nyah like kak yani.. hehehe... ;)

i can't remember when i had a record high fever of 38.9 deg!... no wonder i was all cold and feverish on tues!.. i shouldn't have come to work.. or at least shld've taken half the day off!.. baaaah!!... very regretted.. but heck!.. cannot afford to lah..

oh!.. in the end i need not go to the mtg!.. baaaah!!... pasal tu mtg, i went to work!... thank god, we escaped from doing that project... though i must say that a part of me do want us to be in it!.. hehehe.. juz for the fun of it all! :D but anyways, good thing also lah.. i dun think the dept needs anymore distractions than it already has!...

last nite at abt 11.30pm, Eshan suddenly woke up and cried as if we've beaten him... my god!.. wat a shock i had!!... everything we did couldn't make him stop crying untill Daddy jampi him, then he quiet down... mummy tot that we must've been to "somewhere" (read: X-files) but in fact, we only went to kaki bukit followed by parkway parade and back home by 9pm!... i think he must've had ngigau (nitemare).. kesian tau!... the whole nite i heard him crying cum whimpering every few hours... but he seemed alrite this morning.. so hopefully, no similar episodes tonite!...

UNDER THE WEATHER...
i've suddenly caught a cold.. bleagh... i wanted to take MC today but thinking of that meeting to attend and waiting for my T-shirt to come, i decided to juz come in to work!... :(

on top of this, we were caught in the rain this morning!... we were soooo drenched!!... definitely not a good start to the day... perhaps i should take half day?... hmmm....

anyways, i'm crossing my fingers that my boss will not need to do this major project.. else, i'll be the first target to help in this major project the orgn is undertaking... but i'm still gg for the mtg anyways, juz in case... so from now till 12 later, i'll juz pray that i won't be caught in between... *gulp*.. but i must say, it will be an exciting event... hmmm... we'll see lah... for now, i'm juz not in the mood for any kind of work!

HALAL PORK

now, now boys and girls.. there's no such things as halal pork hor!... whoever did such a thing has absolutely no respect to the religion and have just landed him/herself in trouble!... bodoh!!...

For all u ignorant ppl out there, we Muslims are not allowed to consume pig-related pdts ie pork, lard, bacon, ham etc.. etc.. the religion find them dirty because of the germ or bacteria that grows within them.. so, plssss dun come and tell me that they're the most cleanest creature on earth... anyways, even if they are, i will still not consume them!..

Based on CNA's report, a police report have been filedso i'm pretty sure the culprit will be caught pretty soon!.. memang padan muka sesiapa yg start benda bodoh nie!..

THE NOOSE

did any of u catch this show on 5 last nite?.. it was hilariously stupid (read: kelakar bodoh!) hehehhe... it is a light-hearted, semi-sarcastic show touching on real issues.. aptly aired on a Sunday - to mark the end of a hoorah-hoorah weekend..

the casts were amazing with their "tongue" - they can change from having a typical Singaporean slang to a European(?) newscaster slang... they made me laff lah with the switches... hahahaa....

btw, in case some of u may not know it yet, the Amazing Race is back on Wed, 14 Nov at AXN... i saw the trailer once only and i think it's the US one and not Asia... but pls correct me if i'm wrong!... thanks!!... :)

BUMBO CHAIR

wat is this i hear that Bumbo chair is not safe? was warned by the whole family to not let Eshan sit on it unattended.. like Duuh!!... of course there's always somebody with him whenever he's on the chair lah!.... but of course, there's the maid.. hmmm....

anyways, based on Bumbo's claim, their product is safe but not it's labels. They'll be changing the labels... but parents be warned - not to put child in seat on elevated places, unattended!...

ALL THE WAY FROM LUXEMBORG

we had that much anticipated mini gathering with the girl from Luxemborg - Mizzie.. Makcik Zanna was shooting questions at her from life in Europe questions to "Can i be your maid there?"... hahhaha.... Ms Sinus was supposed to be there but both she and Adam were under the weather...both u & Adam got a present each from her!... i'll see how i can arrange to give u the presents.

we had fun catching up.. life overseas is definitely tough with no support system (family to depend on).. we were thinking of how if one day she impregnates and deliver there.. mana nak dapat jamu and tukang urut? but if she were to deliver here, then she would still need to bring back the babe home and i dun think it's tat good to travel so far with a 1mth old babe in hand.. sheesh... very susah lor... kesian Mizzie...

Anyways, the 2 girls were gushing over how cute and hemsem my boy is... *blush!* well, hopefully he'll still have this baby face till he grows up.. ;)

and with this, i leave you with a compilation of his 3-6mths of life..

so Makcik Zanna, when u're impregnated (hopefully by end of next year heheheh..), juz know that i allow u to browse thru his albums so that ur son/daughter can have nice features like him.. hehhehee... bleh gitu?...

WHO PUT U ON A PEDESTAL, HUH?
u see, there's this being in this organisation who thinks too highly of itself. Juz coz it is one of the higher paid with a "higher" post in the organisation, it thinks it is a know-it-all!... bleagh!...

c'mon lah.. u're soooo highly paid for doing N.O.T.H.I.N.G coz all u ever do is delegate, delegate, delegate! it was supposed to be UR job to send out the blardy email but u delegated it to us instead. After sending out the email in reply, no word of thanks! Instead COMPLAINTS, COMPLAINTS and COMPLAINTS!.... gaaaaah!!!...

if u're sooooo damn good, y don't u do it urself, damn it?!.. i've heard stuffs abt u.. i know what u're "capable" of - Z.I.L.C.H!... u can't even do a single job - which is actually ur main blardy job scope - properly!... bodoh!... so y are we paying it sooooo much??!!!.....

i really dunch know!... but for sure it will be here for long and enjoying the "privileges" of being on a pedestal.. i'll be praying for the day tat pedestal breaks so that it will come back down to earth and realise that being humble is not such a bad thing afterall!..





*It is used to conceal the identity/gender of the said person.

ENUFF IS ENUFF..
i surrender... my raya sakan-ing in officially over as of yesterday... i cannot take it anymore.. i've stuffed myself with good food and even greater company over the past few weeks... i'm now bloated and wat was a quite longgar (loose) baju kurung on the first day of raya is now a quite ketat (tight) baju kurung.. bleagh!!

so who did we meet yesterday??....

how can u not melt when u see this boy with his 5 small teeth smiling widely at you??.. and thank god Eshan and him seemed to be able to get along.. :) later when Eshan begin crawling, Rayyan will be walking oredi.. tat'll be quite hilarious if they play "Catching".. hahahhaa...

we also went to see our god daughter, Syaza Atifah... aiyoh!!.... i missed both her and mother who's now in her 25th wk of pregnancy!... and who knows?... it's another girl!... :) like they say, there's always another time... jangan tak jadi har... hehehee.... ;)

So we did raya sakan this yr, but still not as much coz we still have not covered some houses yet.... haiizzz... to whose house we didn't manage to visit, maap ler byk2.. really got no time and energy to do anymore house visiting marathon!..

so with this, i leave u with a not-so-much-raya-pictures album of 2007...

THE PINKIES JALAN RAYA
out of sheer coincidence and for the first time in our entire 9yrs of friendship, we don our baju kurung in shades of pink!...

it was freakily hilarious when we all gathered at Bai's house and found that all of us decided to be pinkies this raya!... so off we went zipping around the island - literally from one end to the other - like one big happy family!.. hahahhaa.... the first and probably not the last coz Naz was like sooooo enthu abt doing this again next raya... errrrrrr........

we visited Umi Ayu and the new-born babe... the babe is sooooo cute and small... it feels like yest i carried my 2.75kg Eshan!... now that he's almost or already 8kg, 3kg Siti Nur Alawiyah felt so fragile and light as a feather!...

ayu warned not to put Eshan and lil Fauzi together for fear lil Fauzi may hit him... but in the end, my Eshan hit him instead... *sorry ye abg Fauzi!*

my raya is almost complete... a few more houses to go and i'm done!... YEAY!....

on to non raya updates, i pass my make-up exam!.. yeay!!..... i got a B.. one would think a B is very good oredi lor.. but their B is only an average mark!.. pantat!!..... so, it's not that good afterall... bleagh!... the girl told us only 1 got Distinction.. and the teacher told us majority get Bs coz they won't give away As easily!.. chet!!...

Eshan can now "walk" albeit backwards in his walker!.. yeay!!... so, he won't be as bored as before in that walker of his!... he is also able to sit more steadily now though not for too long... and on Sat, he had his first fall!... my god!... my heart was at my throat when i saw him on the floor wailing!.... he fell off our bed!... but thank god, he fell not coz he was rolling rolling round the bed... he was gostan-ing and somehow landed a soft fall... i didn't hear a thud or anything like that so i'm presuming he fell that way.. i felt soooo guilty falling back to sleep!!....

checked his whole head to find a bruise or wateva - nothing!... he also cried a bit only... after i carried him around, he stopped crying... my boy's a strong boy.. thank god!!... hehehee... mama's boy is a big boy oredi!... ;)

HE'S STILL THE BEST!
who??.... Taufik lah!... hehehhee..... his performance last nite beat the rest of the finalists of Live the Dream!... he definitely got a standing ovation and the loudest clap from moi! Go Taufik Go!... ;)

anyways, i've got to say, tat Very Teruk boy has gotta be the WORST finalist in the entire history of singing competitions in Singapore - reality or not!... i think we can get better singers and performers at those CC competitions!...

the judges chose the most simplest song for him and yet he failed to deliver... both songs were less than average performance and it's supposed to be a National competition!... ????!!!!!..... freak!... with his lembek voice and even lembek face!... kwang.. kwang.. kwang...

u see, i didn't wanna vote at all initially but i juz cannot bear the tot of tat Very Teruk boy possibly winning the competition!... geezz.... so, i gave in to the temptation and i'd like to think that my 1 of 2 votes for Shrek boy played a part in his win!... hehehehe....

so Congrats to the winners of last nite Live the Dream... i hope there wouldn't be anymore 100%-voting-power-to-SGeans-singing-competition from TCS5 coz we juz aren't ready for it!.. i'm sure Ken was praying very hard for Shrek boy and his level of sarcasm for tat Very Teruk boy was tip top!... after the winner is announced, baru muka dia ada senyum... :)

IT'S ALL ABT HIM..
it's been a week plus since i last left an entry here... been very busy at work... yeah!.. u heard me right.... me = busy ???? hahahhaa....... serves me right for telling the boss i'm freakin free and bored to death!.... gaaaaah!!!.....

anyways, i decided to take a teensy weensy break this morning juz to update this ol' blog of mine!.... it's getting dustier by the day!.... and it's time i fill up my entry with pictures of my son!.. hehehhee.... ;)

so... let's see.... as u may have already guessed... our theme this year is PINK... goooooo Pinkies! ;) it's Eshan's first Raya and thank god i insisted on getting him his baju kurung coz he loook sooooo darn cute in it!... hehehhee.....

too bad he's still too small to don the songkok and the samping... next year, k boy?.... *muaaackss!*

we were over at the BIL & SIL's place and test-drive this bouncy thingie on Eshan and look at him - merrily bouncing away!!... wat a difference with him at home in his walker!....

oh!... and his current interest now is watching soccer!.... we noticed it a few times - he'll be quiet and watching the tv in concentration everytime Dearest plays soccer on his PS2.. only now did i get the chance to catch him in action!

and over the weekend, the boy had to squeeze 3 balls of poo out of his small *tooot* in the morning... soooo kesian when i see his red face and crying in pain... and juz on Sat itself, he pooed three times!.... aiyoooyooo..... but anyways, since his stools are hard nowadays, i've instructed the maid to give him plain water (feeding him off the spoon since he dun like it in the bottle) every hour...

and who knows, he prefers to get it straight from the cup instead!!....

he drank it like it's some sweet juice or something!... oh!.. in case u're wondering why the "cup" has such a wide mouth, that's a bowl!.. hahaha..... hopefully, with this, his poo condition will improve...

btw, i'm freakin fat from all the hari raya goodies and good, fattening food served at every house!... BUT i'm toooooo lazy to move my fat a$$ to the gym!.... heeellllppppp!!!!..... oh!!... btw, i did meringue for Hari Raya... me and bro hated it but the rest of the family + every other person who visited and tried the meringue loved it!!... i dun quite understand why!...

it was all gone on the first day of Raya... i actually had to make a second round! i got the original recipe from the girl who paints her kitchen red.. but i'm calling them Cornflakes Choc Chip Meringue. happy trying! ;)



haaaiizzz... end of entry. back to work. gaaaaahh!!!!!!........... :((

EID MUBARAK!

We're sorry that this msg came in a day late.. had been very busy with last minute stuffs before 1st Syawal. So with this, to all readers esp our Muslim brothers and sisters around the world, if there is a post that is of any offence to you, directly or not, my sincerest apologies..

to our family and frenz, if there were moments that we did or say something that hurt u, our sincerest apologies.. insya-allah, we'll make our rounds to do a more formal apology session... and the person i'm missing most and definitely would like to meet this raya - Syaza Atifah!!.... rosma, aku nak serbu rumah kau lah... rindu siot dgn anak kau!...

Maaf Zahir & Batin..

BAJU, BAJU WHERE ART THOU?
I still have not gotten my baju for raya yet.. have to call the lady up.. hopefully, it's ready or at least would be ready to be collected on Wednesday!... sheesh!.... the intent to search for another baju is put on hold after MIL told us abt her episode with a pick-pocket while she was at First Lady..

not that she caught the guy doing it but she was a victim in this episode. they (the pick-pockets) are a skillful bunch aren't they?... i wonder how long they take to master the "art" of pick-pocketing?... the amazing thing is, the guy manage to open my MIL's bag and take out juz the wallet and zip it back up without her realising it!

tat's y, i never carry a lot of cash with me... i think at most, i have only $20 in my wallet... coz NETS is avail everywhere that it's soooo much more convenient than carrying loads of cash around!.. so to all ladies and gents out there, pls be careful this festive season. Esp the ladies - if it's not necessary to carry a handbag, don't!...or practice "separating" ur money.. don't put all ur cash in the wallet. scatter it around in all ur available pockets..

okies.. more on Hari Raya... in juz one sunday, my house have turned into a mini cookies-for-sale-warehouse!... my gosh!.. the amt of cookies, tarts, biscuits, makmur, we did this year!... amazing!.... well, this yr got nyai in the house.. so can expect more peeps to come!... it's been a while since we actually have truck-loads of ppl coming to the hse...

since we were all in a baking mood and there were more ppl in the hse, urs truly whipped up egg tarts for the family. this time, with the combination of my 2 favourite recipes... it was a hit!.. and i juz can't stop taking in more!!... gosh!....

I'm calling it "My Special Egg Tart" coz it's custom-made juz for moi!.. heheheh... ;)

anyways, we have started giving Eshan rice cereals since he turned 6mths last week!... and al-hamdulillah, he's taking it quite well... he wants more and more which is good.. :) we have also been giving him plain water in a spoon. tat's the only way for him to drink plain water!... he perspires buckets whenever it gets too hot. and he cannot sleep without the air-conditioning!... aiyoh!.... soooo worried he'll get dehydrated one fine day if he doesn't get enough water per day!... but now, the only thing left to train him is to sit in that walker or bumboo chair of his!... he simply refused to sit for more than 5mins!... and when he do, he'll give me this kesian face...

ANOTHER ADDITION..

Congratulations to Ayu for the delivery of her second bundle of joy!... after 2 whole days in the hospital, 2 pills insertion and only 3cm dilated, a caesarian operation had to be conducted to deliver this cutie pie..

waaaahh!!.... anak kau sungguh the tembam!... macam nak gigit2 tu pipi! and at last, we've broken the spell.. a girl at last!.. YEAY!!....

Did i say i'm addicted to baking?.. hmmm.. yah.. i am!... now that Raya is fast approaching the mood to bake is more apparent!.. i can't remember where i got the recipe from.. but i remembered getting excited over it when i found it!

i needed to know how outrageous this cookie is.. as it turns out, it was OUTRAGEOUSLY chocolatey so much so that the family found it rather jelak.. but i kinda like it coz it's nice and quite a soft cookie.. hahaha... i dunno how to explain it.. u've gotta try it to know it.. ;) but the next time if i do it, i'll pipe it smaller so that it's less jelak!..

SOOOOO BZ AH??...
waaaah!!... this is wat happens when u tell ur boss that you've got NOTHING to do!.. suddenly got sooooo many things to do!... aiyoh!!..... and i simply hates it when Ms Mono tries to be "helpful" when really, she's NOT!... if u wanna help, make sure u know wat to do, pls!... oh!.. and to illustrate how helpful she can be, not only would she pick up the EA's phone calls.. she picks up the hp for the EA too!.... grrrrr..... she better make sure she keep her hands off my 2 phones!...

we learnt to do ear candling on Tues.. and wow!.. i'm hooked after i see the wax tat came off my 2 ears!.... i did it on Dearest and he's hooked too!... ahhahaha..... anyone wants me to do for them for a minimal fee?.... let me know!!!.... ;)

0h!... after "Live the Dream" put me at the edge of my bed, waiting in anticipation as to which group and soloist is gonna be out, they say NO ONE will be out!.. pantat!... buat suspense jer!.... but plsssss lar... at least the girl attempted to improve... the Very Teruk boy still like tat!... sungguh tak menyelerakan!... but i'm pretty sure he was almost peeing in his pants last nite... he don't possibly think that he could outplay Shrek-boy would he?... gaaaaah!....

and to that Very Teruk boy's fans, in case you didn't watch it last nite, i'll echo and quote Ken's comments "If my son wants something expensive from me, i will always think first if he deserves it. In this context, I hope your fans will think twice if you deserve this dream that they are purchasing for you..." pedaaaassss nyah!!!

was watching Rahsia Perkahwinan yesterday and saw this quote:

Marriage is when 2 fools decide to be smart

:D

WAT IS NOT MADE FROM CHINA??
one of those random "blonde" moments by Ani!.. hehehehe... a question she suddenly asked out of the blue at 11.35pm on Saturday nite!... her own answer?... "Orang Melayu..." all together now..

"HUH??!!"

yah... i know... hahahhaa.... ;) anyways, the meet up with the gang was great!.. i lurrrrve the food.. i dun think Ms Sinus did though!.. hehehehe.... went to Eatzi Gourmet @ Yishun Safra after salivating over pictures on Kak Yani's website!...

i had salmon and boneless chicken... YUMMMMEH!!.... i lurve that saltish thingie on top of the potato... their serving is humongous... was very full after the meal.. and i'll definitely go there again!!.... hahaha...

Ilhan met Eshan but Ilhan seemed shy.. for god knows why?!... nvm eh boy.. still got time.. as long as u don't hit my child on his head again, we're cool!... ;) thanks to these peeps for taking care of Eshan while Dearest & I devoured and enjoyed every single piece of edible food on our hotplate minus the chicken skin..

Eshan went for his 5mth jab and thank god he didn't get fever after the jab.. i think it's coz he got to sleep soundly after his jab... normally, we will be out window shopping!... hehehee... not cranky at all.. so thank god!!.... al-hamdulillah...

anyways, to show to us that he wasn't weak at all.... take a look at this pic..

if u still can't see what i see, it's ok.. it's actually normal.. coz both Dearest and my brother couldn't see it until i point it out... so here goes...

sesungguhnya anak aku gagah... hahahaha... we don't understand how on earth he manage to pull the body out of it's "sockets"!.... and it actually looked soooo eerie seeing a dangling head on top of his playpen!...

oh!... did u see how we've cushioned his playpen all around??... he knocked himself on the eye while rolling abt... it must've been pretty hard coz he cried out in pain and his right eye was red and a lil bit swollen with a bit of scar.. sheesh... tat got Dearest to cushion the playpen rite away... should've immediately done tat when he knocked himself once before.. kwang.. kwang.. kwang..

since i'm in a bake-muffins mode, over the weekend, i manage to bake not one, not two but three types of muffins!... they're filled with chocolate but with different fruits... but they're all different recipes from different sources..

Strawberry & White Chocolate Muffin, Orange & Dark Chocolate Muffin & Banana Choco Chip Muffin
oh!.. trust me.. when u see the original "creators", u'd be just as tempted to try out them recipes!

i like the Strawberry combi the best though i can't taste the white chocs.. the strawberry was a bit too much too... must reduce a bit lah... I dun like dark choc but the combi with orange was nice.. though i would change it to semi-sweet choc chips next time!.. ;) the banana choco muffin on the other hand was pretty banana-like.. i dun like how it turned out all dark and soooo unappetising looking.. but it's actually nice lah... the family savoured all of them muffins in one nite!...

WAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!
I cannot believe that Shauna's still in!.. i didn't watch her whole performance but that short snippet that recapped her Umbrella performance was enuff to tell me that she's definitely not good enuff - and tat's saying it mildly - to advance and be the top 3 soloist... tat snippet wasn't even good enuff for a high school performance! at least for sure i dun sound like that when i performed for my teachers on Teacher's Day!... grrrr....

and who did they choose??... the one with the better voice!... even better than Victor's!..... wahlau eh!!... can't believe he's in too!.. haiyoh!.... now, Ani seemed to think that Victor (god forbids) will win it!... i certainly hope not coz i dun think i wanna watch a concert by a mediocre, lembek, muka nak nangis singer on the big stage!...lagi worst if Shauna wins it!... i can juz imagine how cutesy her performance would be and i think she'll be totally "lost" on the big stage...

the only hope for the soloist is Fendi... sungguh tak hemsem tapi sungguh sedap suara dia!.... i've said this before and i'll say it again... sinJiapor cannot vote!.... if u wanna see a true reflection of votes each week, make voting free of charge or at least, the same charges apply to tat of an SMS. u charge us 60cents per SMS - tat's like wat? - 12x more than the normal charges leh!!... ppl like my husband will definitely not vote.. he said it himself.. he'll vote for By Definition if it's FREE!.... pfft!!... but it's actually true... how many votes would u cast for these peeps if u dunno them?... true... u would want to see your favourites advance.. but at 60cents per sms, how many votes can u or would u cast for one person/grp?.... and i'm not asking the blardy rich ones, hor..

but thank god After the Rain is gone!... gosh!.. it was pretty painful to hear them... they've got to thank the cameraman coz they made it look more exciting.. but i can juz imagine if i were part of the audience, i would have snored to sleep!... and to think that the guy forgot his lyrics??... alamak!!!..... waaah.. at least the group performance is something to look forward to.. though i think the 3 young boys is not as good as the 3 older men!....

so, the drama of Live the Dream continues next week.... i hope Fendi belts out a Malay song and give to them good!... and next week, i WILL vote for him!.... no buts abt it!.... the right singer should be chosen and it's definitely NOT the other 2!....

PACK & GO
waaaah!.... we've been told to pack our stuffs oredi.. we'll be relocated to a temporary site not far away from here at the end of the year.. i'm gonna miss this place.. but i think i'm gonna like the new place better - albeit it'll be a smaller working space - coz it's nearer to not so healthy but convenient foodplaces!... ;) u know, in case i dun get to eat out and Dearest can't get me my lunch.. at least a makan place is only a 2min walk!...

i've been here the past 6 yrs (yes! it's been tat long!.. my god!!... ppl of my batch have come and gone and i'm still stuck here! :( ...) and i've moved at least 5 times!... this is gonna be my 6th but thank god for the moves coz i'm sure i would've collected a whole load of junk to fill a truck!.. kwang.. kwang.. kwang...

anyways, i dunno where and when to start.. i dun like to throw away stuffs.. but i would juz HAVE to!.... grrrr.... haaaizzz... i'm sooooo freakin bored now.. seriously, i need a job!... a new job!.... can somebody pls give me something?!!!..... booo hoooo hooo!!......

THE TRAGEDY..
bcoz i dun really like to read the papers, i would be the last to receive hot news... i'm sure by now everybody would have known abt the Nurin case?.... well, i juz found out abt the late child over the weekend. and not by reading the papers but by my SIL who was reading the Malay paper at the time.

she was the one who brought me up to date with the strory. A tragic one indeed. Now, that they've "caught" the woman in action on cctv, i hope they'd be able to find her soon enuff!... i juz cannot believe the extent of injury inflicted upon this 8yr old child.

She's a child for heaven's sake.. an innocent child who have a whole life ahead of her. the future and hope of 2 parents. wat were the criminals thinking doing wat they did to her? it's soooo sad! do they know wat kind of suffering the mother went thru juz to give birth to her and to care for her? Do they know the anguish the parents must have felt seeing their dead daughter in front of them unrecognisable? Don't they have any conscience at all for murdering an innocent child?

as the pictures of her burial stared at me, i juz don't understand what could possibly be in the minds of these criminals as they strike that fatal blow. Why couldn't they juz go kill a cow or something if they really need to kill a piece of meat. at least, its meat can be eaten after the slay!

cases of such nature - child abuse, rape and murders - seemed to be on the rise. wat's happening to the world? The children is our future. They are (or most of them anyways) are from the seeds of our love. As parents, we have to protect them from these predators. And as parents, we too have to do the right thing if we know our child have "problems". I know it's easier said than done. It takes a whole lot of courage for a parent to stand up and tell the world that his/her child have issues and send him/her to the right channel to be led to the right path. But as a parent yourself, wouldn't it be better to take a more proactive approach before the problem escalates and eventually lead to hurting another human being, let alone, someone else's child?

CHOCO MUFFS!

hmmm.... i simply lurrrrve this muffin!... it's soooo freakin nice!!.... my first attempt at baking a muffin and it rose!.... YEAY!.... :) i'm sure this will be a hit amg the kids coz it's ooozing chocs!... but i found the choc a bit tooo much lah....

Dearest juz lurve it!... i did a second batch, this time with much lesser chocs... he said he still like the first batch!... chet!... but i still think that lesser is better... less jelak... original recipe asked for 2 cups of choc chips.. i modified it to 1 cup..

my second attempt to do brownies failed miserably!... tat's it... no more brownies making... i'll stick to cupcakes, muffins, cookies and cream puffs... baaaah!!.... speaking of baking, i hope i've got time to bake my cookies this year... i would lurrrve to do other stuffs other than my cookies but my Saturdays are now gone! urrrrgghh!!!.... i think i better start baking next wk!.... 2 more weekends before raya!....

ooooh!... went to the Naked Fish last nite and my oh my!.... the menu looked appetising.. the dish tat came looked soooo unappetising but the end result was pretty appetising... ;) in Simon's words - "I'm not jumping out of my chair" - but oklah.... something different to try... anyways, while we were there, Eshan got kissed by this pakcik!... errrr...... seb baik tak terbegik on my sambal stingray!

the rest of the nite, both me and Dearest juz couldn't bring ourselves to kiss him for fear we kissed him where the pakcik juz did!... ahhahaha..... dun ask me y... but we juz find it weird!.... anyways, my dear son... who asked u to be soooo darn cute and friendly with strangers??... see wat it did??....

yah!... i think if i'm a stranger i'd also be geram!... he'll laff and give that big, wide-eyed, smile of his that make ppl go "Sooooo cuttteee....".... as long as they dun go touch his cheeks with their dirty fingers!... (so far, never had a stranger actually kissed him.. yest was a first.. and i hope a last!...) yeah!... i've got this "eeky fetish" abt touching the face with ur fingers... i dun like it myself if Dearest touches my face in jest... this is juz one of those quirks i have... u never know what ur fingers are holding!... esp if u've not washed it for sometime... anyways, u should get the drift...

sooooo Naz & ZamAni, we're definitely mtg this Sat with or w/o Ms Sinus rite??... can we go to Eatzi Gourmet, plssssssssssssss????... Ms Sinus and family, plsssssss join us!!.... dah lama tak jumpa!!try to make it, k?....

CAUGHT THE BUG..
haiyah!... must have caught this damn flu bug from my lil bub.... been sneezing away like nobody's business... i'm actually using a mask rite now... very the tak comfortable... but wattodoo?! if i can catch it from my 5mth old son, i think the others can get it from me... and i dun think we want ppl to be sick now coz it's one of our peak period moments... baaaah!!....

ooooh!!.. btw, Eshan can now roll himself... so far, only Dearest manage to catch him in action... according to Dearest, he had been rolling since Tuesday!.... chet!.... i only manage to see him roll after break fast yesterday!....

Yesterday was also the first day we went into geylang to "soak" in the barely-there raya atmosphere.. Eshan was alert and awake when we were walking along haig rd side of the road.. by the time we went to the singpost side of the road, he was looking droopy-eyed... and as we know our son, he will sleep in wateva position he is in as long as he gets his sleep!.. hahahaha....

the raya atmosphere was not there yet... and i dun seem to be enjoying it as much either!... :( the things were the same.. the kuih-muih were blardy expensive!!!..... i think i'll stick to DIY-ing my kuih!... and the kebaya fashion was the same as last year!... alamak!..... sungguh tak best!

i still wanna find another baju for myself this raya.. can't possibly have only 1 rite?... kata nak raya sakan this yr!.... hehehhee... been missing out on raya sakan-ing for the past few yrs... all thanks to Dearest's exams!... now that he's free from exams, we'll definitely go all out!.. hahahaha..... bleh??...

haaaa... another day in the life of me in this cold, cold office!.... haaaaa-chooooo!!!..... *sob!*

BABY.. BABY...
Eshan was supposed to go for his jab on Fri but after consultation with the doc, we decided not to let him have it coz we're afraid it might irritate him further.. as it is, he's not recovered from his coughing and running nose... we got another medicine from the polyclinic for his coughing since the med from the pte PD dun seemed to work!

with confidence, i told the hubby, no need to take que no at the pharmacy coz the nurse said "it's tagged to our number".... we actually sat and waited for our number to be called for a good 10mins before i realised that ppl were queing up for another que no, giving the counter their previous que no!... pantat!!!.....

we waited and waited for our no to be called... after another good half hr (i think!), we were finally called juz to be told that they dun have the med!!... urrrgghh!!!..... have to get it from other pharmacies!!... dah takleh claim!... bengang betul!!...

but after all tat, thank god, he's recovering pretty well.... however, the maid is now down with a cold!... i juz hope he doesn't catch it from her!!...

over the weekend, we went to look see look see our own love nest in progress... it looked almost complete.. we're juz hoping we get it asap coz we both can't wait to be "free" and enjoy our long-awaited privacy...

i also manage to snap some photos of my lil' bub over the weekend...

we found out that he lurrrves playing with this particular balloon that Rosma and Ms Gems bought for us when he was first born!.... berguna jugak belon nie.. thanks girls!! ;)

he was caught with his butt held high while sleeping!... hahahhaa.....

this was taken on the way to our love nest.. i lurve it when he gives me that big smile of his!...

while waiting to break our fast, father and son bonded.. i love u both!.... mmuuuaaaaccckksss!!

SLEEPY
I think i look like Garfield today - chubby with droopy eyes... bah!!..... Eshan was not so well last nite.. he's got running nose so i dun think he was able to breathe properly. poor thing.. when he awoke for his feed at 1am, he kept crying everytime his pacifier is out of his mouth.. and after all that crying, all he needed was juz to poo!...

anyways i'm wondering how on earth do we suck out the mucus on his nose without actually literally sucking it out ourselves??... *yucks!!* i can clean his shit with my bare hands but the tot of sucking out those mucus irks me lah.. we bought one of those lil things that claims to suck the mucus out, but either we dunno how to use it or it juz doesn't work!... sucky!....

so experienced mothers out there, plssss tell me how to do it??.... i hope he gets better today... need to do his jab tml so that even if he fall sick, i've got 2 full days to take care of him without taking my leave..

it feels weird going into the office today and not munch on something first thing in the morning! hahahaa.... i also learnt y i never lose weight during Ramadhan..

Do you know?
when the body is hungry it "sucks" in a lot more stuffs of the first food that enters into the body.. so, imagine... at azan time, the first thing u gobble down is a piece of fried chicken... hmmmm..... sooooo much fats goes into those fat cells in ur body lah dey!... tat is y, we're encouraged to eat dates first as it is very sweet; contains natural sugar. so i've decided that this year, i'll try to break my fast with a piece of fruit first - apples or pears - anything sweet lah since i dun really like dates...

howell... we'll see how in 1mth's time.. ;) btw, did anyone feel the tremors yest??... i heard there's another one this morning too!... i didn't get to feel both!... chet!... anyways, i heard it hit Jakarta.... thank god my parents are back from their trip...

HEY HAIRLESS LEGS!
for the first time in my entire life, my legs are hairless! :D i'm soooo freakin proud of going thru the waxing session yesterday. i've been contemplating for the longest time to shave my legs but i dun dare do it...

Did you know??.....

shaving your legs is very drying and the hair grows faster and coarser.. and shaving your armpits make the area darker too!....

hah!.. and it's not as painful as i tot it would be.. i can't wait to wax my armpit lor!!.... i'll go look for the wax and the cotton strips soon!.. i can't wait!!

Fasting starts tomorrow!.. abstinence is key! ;) ehem.. ehem.. happy fasting peeps!!!

HIS 1st PD VISIT
I brought him to see a PD yesterday coz he was coughing more and it kinda made him lose his voice.. so off we went to Hougang since it's the nearest..

and boy!... i soooooo regretted lor... anyone staying in that area can vouch that it was pretty "hazy" there last nite... my hair, body and clothes smelt smoke all over!... ;( my throat got itchy and i was coughing myself at the end of the day!...

anyways, the doc took a while to get to us even though we were only the third in the row when i got there!... Eshan was squirming & screaming - prolly out of frustration having to wait!... but when the nurse "gah" him, he smiled and squealed out of sheer delight!.... hahahhaa...

but when the doc was inspecting him with the cold stethescope, he was quiet... didn't squirm, squeal, shriek like i expected him to!.. very good boy, my boy... ;) the doc diagnosed him with mild coughing and sneezing.. gave him one 1 medicine to cure his coughing and sneezing.. the total bill = $40 (consultation fees) + $3 (medicine)!.. aiyoh!!.... wat a vast difference!.... i tot he will charge much much more for the medicine.. but thank god lah... i never tend to bring too much cash with me... but chet!.. should have saved that money till friday if i had known that his coughing is not serious!.. at least at polyclinic, it's much, much cheaper!... kekekkee....

howell!.. first time parents, always kiasu one!.... next time, i'll know wat to look out for! ;)

THURSDAYS ARE BITCHY DAY!!
America's Next Top Model is back and the girls this round seemed to be bitchier than ever!.. weeeee!!!...... bitching, cat fights and drama is back on thursdays this season.. thank god they're no longer on Sundays.. but why thurs??... aiyah!...

anyways, woopee for the 2 plus-sized girls that made it to the finals!!... i prefer Whitney though.. haha... there's another bushy-eyed girl again this season.. ya ampun!.. it looked shaped but it seemed like forever she last trimmed those damn berbulu eye-brows!... kwang.. kwang.. kwang..

there's this girl, Jaiel who really looked quite misplaced amg the girls last nite and as aptly commented by Ms J, the girl who looks like she's juz come out from jail!.. hahahaha.... very farny Ms J!... ;)

yeayness to end of the week!!... but booooo! to sat class tml!!... ;( it feels like forever sitting thru facial class!!... bila nie nak abis?!!!!..... although, i must say the theory classes have been very insightful and interesting so far!..

btw, i've decided that i will do the Rock & Roll Perm in 3mths time!.. insya-allah... :D and just so u know wat i'm talking abt, this is the picture of Nia Long with those damn curls that i'm swooning for!!....

Lah ling!!... can sponsor half??... hahahaha...

Nice or not eh??.... can you imagine this hair on moi??.... but dun care lah... i need those volume.. i'm actually tempted to do it before Hari Raya but bo cian!... plus it's still too early to do anything to my hair since i only juz did these curls 3mths ago!..

OF LIVING THE BEAUTIFUL DREAM..
I'm bored out of my freakin mind!.... and when i'm bored, i snack... i also do some surfing.. and wat would i be surfing?... baking recipes, of course!... i cannot wait to try out some of the recipes.. buuutttt, biler tu eh nak cuba??... haiz....

OH!.. OH!.... i watched Live the Dream (like finally!!) yesterday and i was like sooooo damn blardy disappointed at the results lor... y on earth was the wildcard round results left entirely up to the votes??.... we know jolly well that if SG votes, some lousy peeps will snake into the finals undeservingly!.. and tat's wat happened!....

i sooooo regretted not voting for Monggur.. i didn't watch her perform but from the snippets, she chose the wrong song.. not her best performance but at least she's better than V/I/C/T/O/R who??.. i dun want that A/L/A/N to go into the finals but after the results, i'd rather he go into the finals than him!... his version of Mandy was sooooo lembek.. it almost made me roll off the bed, sleeping!... gaaaah!!!....

And then, the grp results?.. lagi disappointing!... wat's up with choosing a lousy-trying so hard- cannot make it band with very bad shouting-all-the-way-singer to the finals??... B.A.R.B was waayyyyy better than them siah!... kwang.. kwang.. kwang..

howell... but at least watching Live the Dream beats watching over-rated SG Idols wannabes!... at least 80% in the former show can sing and entertain as compared to the latter.. SG Idols have 80% who cannot sing and/or entertain!... hah!! lucky we got the right Idols in both the seasons!!.... i'll be rooting for soulful Fendi and lovely Olynn.. From the snippets, Sugarettes seemed good too.. so, i'll prolly be rooting for them.. but even then, somehow Live the Dream don't appeal me to start voting for anyone!.. y eh??.. hahahaha...

haaaaaa..... i'm bored!!... cannot wait to go off at 3pm!!....

THE MAID
She's beginning to get on my nerves... how many times must a simple instruction be passed down before she actually geddit?... i hope i dun have to lose my patience with her... i'm closed to screaming at her this morning... sesungguhnya aku berpuasa..

Dearest have told me to make her repeat my instructions to her coz he knows that she cannot take instructions.. but i dun want to treat her like a child.. most of the time, she's free to do watever however she likes.. some times, there are certain things extra tat i need her to do and she cannot do it coz she didn't "listen" to me... urrrgghh!!!......

at this point, i seriously want the 2yr contract to end and no more hiring of a maid thereafter... gaaaahhh!!!....

ROCK & ROLL CURLS
i want those rock & roll curls!!..... i was reading last month's issue of Her World and they featured these curls that springs from the roots!... it even treats dry and frizzy hair... and you only need a leave-in conditioner to maintain the look!....

i SOOOOOOOO want those curls!!!!.....

i need big hair to hide my thinning hair.. it's ridiculous the amt of hair that falls ev'time i wash it or run through my very kusut hair... i also think i need to see a trichologist.. but they do say that we fall an average 50-100 strands of hair per day.. only thing - i cannot afford to lose that much hair!... baaaahh!!!!.... ;(

anyways, i'm feeling disturbed abt something.. very. disturbed. hmmm.... how did it come to this? or why? gaaaaahh!!..... dun mind me.. i'm rambling.. i'm juz disturbed..

MY BAKING ENDEAVOR..
i'm really on a baking mode!... i've got quite a lot of recipes to try out but no time to do it.. but this weekend was a bit different coz it was egg tarts this weekend... coz for the first time in quite a long time, my weekend was spent at home... did my portuguese tarts of course!... and then, i attempted to do egg tarts... was actually tempted to do Choc Chip Muffin but the egg tarts looked easier... this was the outcome..

it really looked like the portuguese tarts but the recipe is totally different... i dun quite like the taste of the pastry.. i'd prolly try out another tart recipe the next time.. if u're trying out this recipe, perhaps u can share with me your tips if you think urs turn out nicer than mine.. ;)

we went for the big sale that levi's and RSH was having and then, we were back home... was soooooo tempted fight the crowd to ramage thru the pile of cheap levi's jeans buttttt, the heat, the smell and the menacing crowd put me off big time.. in the end, i only came out with 4pairs of socks for the babe and a skirt for my niece!... chet!

manage to get bibik to come down to massage me and i've decided to spend a teensy weensy part of my pay on massages every month to clear off the "blockages" all over my body!... i can literally feel the bumps all over and it hurts like crazy!... :(

btw, it's my babe's 5th mth today!... *gasp!* he's growing up sooooo fast!!.... Mr Clock, can you slow down ur time, plssss??....

--edited at 4.06pm---------
i juz finished talking to Ms Gems and asking her how she wished RosmAman on her bday when i realised.. i could have done that thru my own blog!!... duuuh!!!....

To Rosma,

HAPPPYYY BELATED BIRTHDAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

aku sungguh bacin, aku tahu!...

sorry that this is a belated bday wish... (5days late!!! *slaps forehead*)

hope u had a rolling gd time on that day..

did u ask Aman for a handphone for ur bday prezzie??...

hehhehe... susah lah nak contact kau nowadays..

it feels weird talking to you thru aman... kwang.. kwang.. kwang..

WAT A SHORTY!
i'm sooooooo freakin irritated!.. i should've followed my gut instinct and not gone ahead with it... with wat u might ask?.... get this - perming my eyelashes!!!... urrgghh!!!.....

they're now sooooo short!!!..... i freakin hate it!!!...... sooo difficult to put on the mascara!... :( when i showed Dearest, he tot i had cut it!.. duuuh!!!..... i want my normal eyelashes back!!!...

in case u guys are wondering.. i didn't do it at a salon for $50... i did it in class for a mere $4.. so, i shouldn't complain lah hor??.... baaaaah!!!...... for those of u who intend to do it, my opinion - it only suits ppl with really short eyelashes.. long ones dun qualify... or then again, maybe, the technique done at salons are really much more advanced than what we did in class.... hmmmm.... whoever's done it, can give me your take on it! ;)

for now, i shall juz lament on my short eyelashes for the next 2mths!!.. hopefully, it'll be back to normal in half that time!!....

btw, another boy wonder is joining the clan!.... congrats Ani!..... i still cannot believe it's a boy!... but still excited nonetheless!!... yeay!!... yeay!!.... Eshan's got a buddy!... a very interesting observation - my whole SP gang conceives a boy for their first-born... having a boy equates to having less romps... hmmmm.... are we, girls???.... kwang.. kwang.. kwang....

EYES WIDE SHUT..
i'm having difficulty keeping my eyes wide open!... it's screaming "Shut me! Shut me!" i'm seriously in need of sleep, sleep and more sleep!!!... :( i cannot concentrate on doing my minutes writing... been writing minutes after minutes and it's no joke k! - writing minutes is a BORE!!....

anyways, i think i need to eat chicken essence or that yomeishu thingie... whichever.. juz to give me the extra energy boost that i badly need... been feeling sooooo lethargic the past few days.. i do wonder if it's coz of me fasting??.. but niways, does it work??... and is it nice???.....

oh!... the picture of those portuguese tarts on my blog is also making me droooollll big time!... if anyone knows of any halal portuguese tart that i can find easily, let me know, k?... so tat i dun have to wait for a weekend to do it!....

aaaarrggh!!.. it's only 3pm!... 2.5hrs to go...... ;(

I WANT THOSE DAMN NICE TARTS, PLSSSS....

I'm freaking craving for these!!!!....

it was a failure the first time round.. and then, i mustered up the courage to do it again last Friday and it was such a huge success tat by the time i came round to taking a picture of these, there were only 6 left and my parents haven't even tasted them yet!.....

and now, i AM craving for these badly!!... my mouth is itching to bake and eat them all to myself!!... tamak-on!... isssh!... cannot wait for this weekend!... i think i better get more of those ready-made pastry puffs so tat i can do more!!!.... hehehhee...

if u're as interested to try it out, the link to the original recipe is here.. i made some moderation to the recipe after trying out the first time though.. ;)

A LOSS
I received a msg from a dear fren yest morning informing me of the departure of her mother.. i was at a total loss of words.. coz i couldn't believe it at all.. i knew the mother as a sweet, cheerful, bubbly character.. and not tat i know she's suffering from any disease..

anyways, i was in a whole day freakin mtg and got a bit stunned at the news... but it only finally sank in a good 10mins after receiving it... it suddenly dawned on me tat my mummy can also go anytime too.. i think i'm still too young to lose my mummy!!!.... still need to learn somethings from her and i still need to do somethings for her as well....

i juz cannot imagine if she were to die suddenly without "advance notice"..

to tat dear fren, be strong girl.. i can only imagine how distraught and sorrowful u must be feeling now.. but rest assured, your mom is in a better place with Him.. you're carrying your no. 2 so plssss take care of yourself, k?... i'm sure she only want your prayers and not see your tears... and being sad will only affect the baby.. so cheer up, chin up yah.... our prayers are for her tonite...

MADE IN CINA COUNTRY..
they've done it again!... selling recycled disposable bamboo chopsticks without disinfecting it!... eeuuwwww!!..... how do i use those disposable bamboo chopsticks without a nagging voice at the back of my head asking me if this is one of those damn undisinfected chopsticks!... gaaaahh!!

fyi, if u hadn't already known - toys were found containing high amounts of lead. blankets and pyjamas were found containing high contents of something tat can cause fire easily and now, this!?! Food for dog were contaminated coz the dogs were violently ill after consuming them.. sheesh!....

now, i must make a habit to check out the Made in ??? esp stuffs for my boy.. but i think it's gonna be a bit difficult to be choosy coz a lot of the stuff are Made from there!.... gaaaah!!... how eh??....

btw, we went to Amirah's Grill last nite and the food is absolutely delicious lah dey!... yummy! yummy! yum! yum! i ate till i'm freakin full.. i intend to fast today but i couldn't wake up for sahur.. but i'm still feeling full so, let's see if i can fast the whole day today!... hehehee.... ;)

POO, POO & MORE POO!
i've been feeling soooo sleepy the past 2 days!... :( Eshan's been waking up in the middle of the nite and only got back to sleep an hour later!.... yesterday lagi best!... he woke up for his feed.. but he only took in half of his milk and then started playing around with the bottle...

so, as a practice, i'd normally change his diapers coz his lousy P/U/R/E/E/N pampers cannot take the weight till morning!... i was cleaning him up and juz when i wanted to take the pampers off his butt, he pooed!.... i tot!.. wah!.. luckily not new pampers... but bcoz he was pooing in the open, his legs fell off my grasp and hit his poo and he kick me in the legs with that gooey poo!... grrrr....

and when i tot it was all over, i took away his gooey, smelly pampers off him and out came another load of stinky, watery poo!... aaaaahh!!.... luckily, he was on the rubber mat!!.... haizzzz... dah lagi satu kerja!... the things mothers do for their kids... not that i'm complaining, hor! (in case my msg gets misinterpreted again!)

we visited a colleague whose wife juz delivered.. and seein the new-born brought back memories of my lil' Eshan when he first came into this world.. the joy he brought to our lives beats everything else and seeing him smile makes my day!... mama love you, baby!!!..... *muacksss!!!* and this mama is missing his other baby!!!..... papa, i misss U!!!!!....... i'm sure baby Eshan misses you too!!!.... *muaccckssss!!*... cepat2 balik eh....

THANK YOUs, DONUTS, A NEW FREN..
Before i begin, i thank all who's given me their 2cents worth and a very insightful knowledge of donning the tudung and the hukum2 of this and that... btw, i do know my hukum2 (thank you very much!) but it all boils down to nawaitu... (again, this is my opinion).. i seriously dun see how you can don the tudung, and still do this and that (tat is against our religion's teaching)..

Once you don the tudung, there's no 2 ways abt it... i know this can go on forever... but wateva it is, you have your views (and i respect that) and i have mine.. i'll answer to Him myself when the time comes..

so anyways, on Friday, i had 2hrs to kill before i can move the car!... so, i made up my mind to que for those damn donuts that i heard so much before!... and que i did!.... a whole hour before i get to those damn, nice donuts!!..... every single piece of donut (all 24 of them) were worth queing up for!.. ahhahahhaa..... thank god!!!

and because Dearest was away, i finally took out the Tigger that we bought for Eshan like eons ago!... hahahhaa.... it's his new best fren now... he's made it his new companion for sleep... :)

he was also mostly on his belly over the weekend.. my boy is stronger now and when he's tired, he'll give me a very cute face before he gets exasperated coz he can't turn himself over... hahahhaa...

I'm tired lah, mama..

TO WEAR OR NOT TO WEAR
We were talking cock after class yesterday and a fren said everytime she told her husband that she wants to curl her hair or colour it or wat nots, her husband's reply is always the same "haiz.. ingatkan u nak cakap u nak pakai tudung ke, nak cover up ke.."

isn't tat every Muslim husband's dream?

i know for sure my husband would be one happy man if i decide to don the tudung one day... but dearest, i'm sorry to burst ur bubble!... i don't think i'll be in one anytime soon hor...

the day i don the tudung,
i will no longer be swearing and using vulgarities at all
i will not miss one prayer in a day
i will not be visiting any non-halal certified eateries
i have to overhaul my wardrobe
i will be more demure and very sopan-santun
i promise to wear it forever and be a proper Muslimah that my husband and children can be proud of..

i see too many kids nowadays don the tudung but behaving intimately with their boyfriends or acting pretty crudely in public.. seriously, i do wonder if they're wearing it out of their own free will or their parents force it upon them to wear it??.. i've also seen others who use it as and when they like it as if the tudung is a piece of hair accessory to hide a bad hair day... and then there are others who wear it and for some reason, no longer want to wear it..

now, these are really the black sheeps of the society.. i have non-Muslim friends who, upon encountering any of the scenarios above, asked me the "Y?" questions and the "can meh?" questions.. how to answer to that??....

i know i'm in no position to do any lecturing on this topic here but juz a pce of advise - before deciding on whether u should wear it or not, think over it carefully coz there's no turning back once you've decided on wearing it.. there's no excuse not to wear it and the only place where u don't wear it is at home in the presence of your family. And donning the tudung is an identity associated with being a Muslim. So, wear it with pride and behave like how a true Muslimah should behave. And the parents shouldn't force it on the children either coz i believe, the more you force, the more they will rebel. they may leave the house wearing it but take it out once they're out of sight!...

MY SICK BABY
I rushed home half day after the maid told me that he had been crying and didn't wanna be left alone! i was worried more at the tot of the maid carrying my son the whole day than the actual sick baby!.. hahahhaa.... but yeah!.... when i was telling Ms ADT abt him, i actually cried!... gosh!.. soooo emabarrasing!...

when his temp finally settled down at a good temp of 36.4deg, he slept but he ngigau (nitemare) and was whimpering in his sleep. I woke him up to jolt him from his nitemare and got myself a fright when he suddenly wailed out loud upon waking up!... apparently, this continued in the evening as well while i was out to class...

but at nite, it's not the asking-for-milk-wail.. it was a sad, sad cry.... tersedu sedan budak tu... very heart-wrenching siah.... i think he was too tired that he only woke up at 5am for his feed!... and when i brought him down in the morning, he didn't even stir in his sleep!!... kecian anak mama....

all this drama coz of his 4th mth jab!... didn't think that it would affect him this much..coz he was alrite when he went for his 3rd mth jab!.... baaaagh!!.... anyways, he's also probably missing his papa very much!... while i was busy caring for our son, he was also busy caring for the country!... :( he'll be back today till tml and then off again on Fri!... *wail out loud* i hate it when he's gone!!!.... been too dependent on him doing this and that around the house!... i wouldn't mind it if i dun need to climb up and down the stairs. really!...

anyways, after the jab, me and the babe went out with Mama Rosma and Ms Gems!... i left the babe with them while i enjoy my mani-pedi session!.. thanks girls!!!... u're the BEST!... ;) muaccckss!!!!

AUNTY CAME TO VISIT..
My Aunty is official here!!.... and of ALL days to visit, it visited today!!.... when i'm not really wearing anything quite appropriate for the occassion!... grrrrr!!!..... i've to remember to walk with my legs "tucked in"... hmmm... luckily she visited half an hour before knocking off!

BUUTTT!!..... one thing's for sure... child birth is amazing!!!..... no signs, no cramps... yaaahoooo!!!... i hope every mth visits will be like this!!!.... :)

sooooo to all u ladies out there... produce. produce. produce!... ;)

have a nice holiday u peeps!!.... will be back on Tues! woooohoooo!!!.......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SINGAPORE!!!.....

BABBLINGS..
i actually wanna air my grievances abt a certain something. someone. buutttttt after a good whole nite of bitching and blasphemous complain session with some frenz and later, Dearest, i felt better and i dun think i need to air it on my blog... let it be a thing of the past.. i'll juz blame it on hormonal changes!... :p

there was a power trip and the men in the house couldn't figure out where the problem was!... but it's definitely from some power points in the hse!!... luckily, the water in the thermos is still hot so Eshan can still get his hot milk.. buutttt, we were all slightly roasted with no air-con to cool down the temp!... :( i hope our handyman comes in early in the morning. i cannot stand the tot of the bottles not being sterilised!!....

i had a weird dream last nite.. i dreamt that one of my cuzzins is going to get a divorce.. y eh?.. hahahaa... i dun think they're gg thru a rough patch... i guess it's juz one of those weird dreams u get!.... kwang.. kwang.. kwang...

Dearest pissed me off early in the morning... the baby woke up at 5am. i was too sleepy to feed him.. so i woke Dearest up.. oredi, it took him a while to realise that i woke him up to feed the babe... then, he took the used bottle and nearly use it to feed the baby (he only realise it when i told him that it's oredi used!)... then, after feeding, he woke me up to burp the baby!... alamak!!!..... like tat, might as well i feed him rite?!!!.... grrrrrr....... when we were getting ready for work, i asked him y he woke me up to burp Eshan. And he said, "I did??" and laffed!.... double grrrrr...... he dunno y he did tat!!!.....

THE CHUCKLE
i'm irritated with a certain someone!!!...urrrrgghh!!!..... though i know this someone's like that, and that i can get along extremely well with this someone but that doesn't mean that this someone can't irritate the hell out of me!... when this someone start to be irritating, it really pisses me off!!!..... grrrrrrr.....

anyways.. on to more happy thoughts.. my dearest, dearest babe was chuckling while his Papa played with "Baaah" with him last nite... it was really a loud chuckle he lets out... soooooo blardy cute!... but of coz, my cam was too far away from me... and i had to make do with my N73... buuuttttt my N73 as usual was a tad slow to start up... so, wat u see is a non-rotatable video and a tad less enthusiastic Eshan.. (click on the pic on the left to view the video.)

and then this morning, when Dearest brought him down in the morning to lay him on his cot downstairs, he cried... prolly coz he needed his feed... so, while the maid prepared his feed, i carried him out to appease him and also got him to meet his neighbour friend who's 2wks younger than him!... the friend was friendly.. smiling and all at us while our Eshan was yawning away!... sheeesh!....

but that's not the story.. after the few minutes outside, i brought him in to give to the maid for his feed... when the maid wanted to carry him, he actually turned away and hung on to me!.... waaaaah!!... i was definitely secretly pleased but at the same time i hear alarm bells ringing off on top of my head!.... juz worried that when he's grown up and learnt to understand that his parents are off to work, he may juz cry and cry for dear life!.... oh dear!!.... i dun think i need to be alarmed juz yet.. coz this may juz be a one-off incident... hmmmm....

MILESTONE
Before i knew it, my boy is already 4mths old!... my god!!... really. good times roll by without u realising it!... and come 4mths, my baby reached yet another milestone!...

we left him to sleep on his own while we had our lunch... when we finished, this was his position..

we got such a shock!!... this was the first time he manage to fully lie flat on his stomach without crying for help!... ahahahhaa.... Mak said that it's too fast!... is it??.... i tot it's time oredi??... hmmmm... he's also drooling buckets!!!.... we put on his bib the whole day juz so his clothes won't get wet!... i tell u.. if we perah the bib, i'm sure, we can collect a full tea cup (for children)!..

niways, we met up with the girls over the weekend.. and my gosh!!.... how rayyan have grown!... didn't manage to snap pic coz (dumb me!) i left my cam in the car!... grrrr.... and he's such a quiet, lil one!!!.... my lil one was a bit cranky that day... but once carried around, he's ok... but when we try to meet the 2, my boy kept looking at the girls instead of his bigger buddy!.. mentel betul anak aku nie!...

and at the end of the day, we're left guessing what rosma's baby's gender is... i say it's another girl!... noorlin say it's a boy juz to "sedapkan hati dia"... and rosma herself said that it's a boy.. ahhahaha... howell... we'll find out soon enuff!.... ;)
