Emir @ 2 years old and 1 month

Cerite satu

My neighbour is now nervously waiting for her BIG day (how r u? are u OK?), so last Saturday, I went to her house to "check" for her preparation. I leave Emir with my family, but after half an hour, my mum came and Emir was with her.

Emir, he was not like before, he is kinda very brave now. He was so engrossed with the toys and other stuff arounds him...which is a GOOD thing. Also, he is no longer afraid with the stranger but always jual mahal.

Anyway back to the story, my mum brought along pisang goreng to my neighbour's house. My mum and the auntie talked outside the house while the future bride and me were chit chatting inside the house. I shouted to Emir (he was playing elsewhere)..

Ibu: Emir pisang pisang
Emir: Running towards pisang. (Pisang goreng dekat mak i)..

U know what, he thought I was asking him to get pisang for me. So Emir dengan bersungguhnya bawak pisang dalam pinggan dekat mak dia. Ok fine.

Emir: Eat.. eat..

I didnt eat since I was full. So my neighbour happily followed Emir's instruction. As she was about to eat, Emir quickly grabbed the pisang..

And screamed..

"NO!!!!!!!!"

.. and passed it to his Ibu..

Oh man, buat malu ibu je..

CERITE 2

When we were having our lunch/dinner, we loved to tease Emir / ask Emir a lot of questions (Ok, thats tell us why he really slow in eating - ye laa asyik kene kacau). So yesterday my mum / hubby asked Emir

Papa/Wan(my mum): Emir, emir, mane Papa
Emir: Pa.. pa.. (Pointed to Papa)
Papa/Wan: Mane Ika
Emir: Ka.. ka.. (Pointed to my youngest sister.. Ika)
Papa/Wan: Mane Mama
Emir: Ma.. ma.. (Pointed to my mum)
Papa/Wan: Mana cik yah
Emir: (He smiles sheepishly but pointed to my sister Cik Yah). FYI, cik yah is very annoyed if Emir called her Cik Yah

Ibu: Mane Abang
Emir: Pa.. pa.. (he pointed to Papa)
Papa: Mane Ayang..
Emir: (He was silence for a while.. until he pointed to...)

Scroll down..

To his plate with full of rice and.. Actually he pointed to

A.Y.A.M

Oh ya, there was a chicken in his plate.

At 1.24am

Its been a while for me to touch this keypad at this late hours. While im writing, I started to realize that some of the to do list that I have to skip for quite some time. Am not so sure is it because motherhood things or, it just me - lazy mummy.. Well let me explain

1. I think im getting lazy to update my blog regularly. I would rather visit another blog, read and then browse to another blog, and worst.. this only could be done in the office.. Sorry boss.. Why

a. Emir would loves to join me typing
b. I would rather spend my time with the boys rather than glued in front of the laptop
c. But actually i dont have much time to blog. Usually, after I have done my housechores, I am tired and all I want is a good sleep.

Yeah, i never thought one day, i would join other career mummy without a maid. Exhausted, agreed. Bukak tudung, tak duduk terus buat keje sampailah Emir nak tido. Even today, I promised to myself after Emir and hubby off to bed, I nak kemas rumah but... I couldnt resist the temptation of this wide open laptop. So there it goes, kelam kabut la esok nampaknya.

And that is the reason why I love to stay overnight at my parent's house during the weekend. All I need to worry about is to feed Emir, the rest i pass the burden to my mum :p.

Some would ask why I choose not to stay at my parent's house. First and foremost, I want to have some space where i can learn more about parenthood and marriage life. and not to forget, boleh berkeadaan yang sangat seksi menyeksi sesuke hati :p.

I remember after i got married, my mum was the busiest person to hunt for a house nearby. And after all the proposals, i dunno how we agreed to accept to buy a link house in Melawati which cost RM172K. We have paid the deposit and the legal fees, but we revoke the agreement and we lost around rm3K-RM5K.

I know my mother was upset, but my dad was otherwise. He advise us that it is better to loose RM3K rather than RM172K. But a month after, we bought a small condo near Mines. That time, i guess we were shortminded and we realize..

after Emir was born, I found the reason why my mum wants us to live nearby. Easier for me and easier for her too. But yeah, i think our current house not that far rite compared to Balakong :) But I missed the mum's company.

Ok ok, macam mane boleh masuk cerite pasal rumah ni. :p

2. Dress up, make-up.. I couldnt remember when was the last time I bought baju for myself. Enough said, im tired to go to one outlet after another but nothing fit my XL size. I bought a jean in February tapi kene curi dengan Warsi tu, benci betul. Maybe last hari raya baju kurung. Thats all. As a young woman (im 26 okay), of cos I would love to see myself more presentable, I mean sesuai dengan umur laa kan. I think i already looks like early 30s sebab ramai yang terkejut bile tau im just 26.

Make up.. Dress up tak, make up ape tah lagi kan.. dan saya sangat tawar hati nak beli barang makeup... Lipstick is enough for me.

..and my shopping spree is more on Emir and barang-barang rumah..

3. Catch up on latest DVDs. I know, this seems quite impossible. Maybe bile Emir dah pandai buat keje sendiri that i can watch sesukek hati...

Hubby told me pandai-pandai lah bahagikan mase. but i just dunno how.

Ok, off.. Emir merengek

Versi Bahasa Melayu di akhir artikel ini

I am really depressed to see my house in a mess..

In a mess meaning that really really messy..

************************************************************

Saya sangat tertekan kerana rumah saya sangat semak..

Sangat semak maksudnyer sangat-sangat semak..

Bukak balik :p

I have reopened my blog to public view however, there will be no more archives. We do have archive but only for my own records. Hubby is back and my routine officially resume as normal. Anyway, when he was not around, I feel quite good. You know when you have someone you can rely on and suddenly after being so comfortable, you have to do everything on your own. To me, the most difficult part is driving the car. Man.. Im telling you I am quite scared to hold the steering. But there it goes, I wont let myself being hiatus for one week and doing nothing.

So, I was on leave on Friday and went to not one, not two, but THREE warehouse sales on the same day. Well, you know I am a big fan of warehouse sale but I rarely inform on the blog. Hehehe. Anyway, I was contemplating to take leave on Friday since I only left few days of leaves for this year but thinking this would be my own precious time, so I just closed my eyes and go for it.

On Friday morning, as usual I will send Emir to the daycare. I have planned to hunt for the sales before afternoon so that I would have ample time to do roses cake decorating after lunch, but tell u, when I was in R*** warehouse sale, I met Dotty and she dragged me to this kopitiam and we talked until 3.30pm. I think it has been ages for me to be seated freely and gossiping without any interruption from my boys ..

Thereafter, I managed to catch up for another two warehouse sales before 5.30. All in all, I had generously spent my hubby’s salary in a "good way". Huhu. He gave me his ATM before he left - Big mistake big mistake. But anyway, I am so satisfied at least I managed to find ways without being lost.

The next day, as promised to my colleague, I had housewarming lunch at Kelang. My dad was not so keen as it has been a while for me to drive that far especially nobody will entertain Emir in the car but anyway promise is a promise. Not so difficult to handle Emir in the car since I had spared the chocs, sweets and drinks for him. I know it is not good for a kid but hey, that’s the only way he can seat still.

Btw, it is more difficult to keep Emir playing on his own for hours. Nowadays my crazy for baking is getting worsen. Keh keh,. To me it is not just about the cake, but on the cake decorating. So before I went to Klang, I baked a cake for my colleague, but as I couldn’t do the roses the day before, so it took a while for me to decorate everything on the same day. So with Emir alone, well, too much challenging for me. At first he was ok, but after few hours memang la kan. I just let him do whatever he wished and guess what he did.

- tumpahkan nasik dekat lantai
- sepahkan rumah
- pindah kan nasik ke tempat lain

He would come to the kitchen and called me "Bu jar jar" (Ibu kejar-kejar) but when I refused he would cried. Imagine me with the icing and had to main kejar kejar dengan Emir at the same time. If I just ignored him, he would call me..

"Abu.. abu.." (Ibu Ibu)..

.
...
....
.....

From the voice, I know he is happily wanted me to see him and gave me a heart attack

- Panjat sofa and buat stunt ala-ala superman sambil kepala ke bawah..
- Panjat TV cabinet dan berdiri
- Main suis (bukak tutup laptop)
- Berdiri dekat slides sambil goncang-goncangkan slides

But, I still managed to do the baking things except that I didn’t manage to clean up the mess especially icing. So I left my house with keadaan yang sangat bersepah-sepah.

Anyway, guess what, I managed to find ways to Kelang again without being lost and went to another warehouse sale in Klang with my colleagues. Oh FYI, in our department we do have the same interest - sanggup amik cuti untuk pergi warehouse sale and we are the warehouse sale madness. From Klang, I went back to my parent's house in Kemensah and accompanied my dad to fetch my mum at KLIA.

A lot of stories from my mum...

Anyway, Hubby was back on Monday. Overall it is good to have him around since I feel more secured, comfortable and safe. It just that I am happy to proof to myself that I am able to do things on my own and without being controlled. I couldn't imagine to those single parent on how they manage the kids alone, I sorang pun kelam kabut. To that I am thankful to what I have.

Please e-mail me ok

Someone stranger message me through YM, I thought I have already restricted whom can have my yahoo id. But I was wrong, this stranger has googled my name and of cos he could easily find my blog and to that, he interferes my life. Can he just shut up his &@#$%%% mouth, he makes me scared especially now when my hubby is not around.

FYI, i have experienced in 2003 where someone hacked my hotmail, blog and yahoo.

My blog is the only space I can share and "record" my daily life so that InsyaAllah it would be the best way for my child(ren) to know me.

I refused to pour my thought on our current politic issues. I would maintain this blog to tell about my story. not others..

So, there goes, I dont feel like sharing my life to the entire world anymore..
enough said..

Zoo Negara - Part 2

When i was a young lady (err im still young ok), I always told others that how I wish to have a bubbly son/daughter. Naughty but obedient. And yes, my siblings would remind me that my prayer has been answered. Sometimes always, Emir ignores my words.

Back to Zoo Negara trip, that day, hubby went to pick up our son before me, I forced my hubby to fetch me first so that I would have a chance to ask Emir's teacher. but as usual driver i ni memang tak dengar cakap i.

So, in the car, this excited mother eagerly asked Emir a lot of questions, but eversince he didnt know how to tell a story, so this was our conversation:

Ibu: Emir, emir naik train tadi ya
Emir: (angguk)
Ibu: Emir nampak bird
Emir: (angguk)
Ibu: Emir nampak elly (elly (one of Pocoyo's character. The elephant))
Emir: (angguk)
Ibu: Emir nampak tiger
Emir: (angguk)

and the conversation continues..

I was not that confidence when Emir was just nodded until I asked him this question

Ibu: Emir nampak Pocoyo
Emir: (geleng kepala)

Tahu pulak. To me, i know he knows what he has seen but it just hard for him to explain and share with us.

So the next day, I asked Emir's teacher. The teacher said that Emir was behaved (surprised me ok) and happily looked at all the animals. His fave animals were Giraffe and Elephants (according to the teacher-laa). Emir was paired with this young girl about his age named Shakirah. Both of them were well behaved. No strollers, and they had to walk until 1pm, so that tell us why Emir was so exhausted on that day.

That was the only info the teacher told us. Nothing more. But the teacher said that Emir enjoyed the trip..

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hubby off to BTN today but we had err argument this morning. For my record, he said SORRY. FYI, Encik Emran sangat susah nak cakap sorry walaupun dia salah. I couldnt remember when was the last time he said sorry. Sometimes it hurts when he always think that he is right. But anyway, since today he said sorry, that would definitely lighten up my day..

So encik husband, sometimes little things can help ur wife feels better.

Emir ke Zoo Negara

Hari ini hari Khamis. Emir ke Zoo Negara bersama rakan-rakan yang lain di tadika nya. Pada mulanya apabila cikgu Emir ura-ura hendak bawa Emir, ibu Emir sudah bercerita kepada Wan Emir..

dan sudah tentulah

"Eh, baru 2 tahun, mama tak percaye lah, cikgu ni nak jage, takut dia ralik tengok budak lain, emir dia tak perasan. Emir tu bukan paham bahase lagi.. bla bla bla.."

Sejak dari hari itu, ibu Emir tidak lagi bercerite kepada Wan Emir, tetapi setiap kali berjumpe dengan wan emir, mesti Wan Emir

"eh, tok sah lah nak bawak Emir ke Zoo, hangpa pi bawak laa sendiri, belakang rumah jer"

Tentulah Ibu Emir diam sahaja.

Pada mulanya lawatan ini dijadualkan di akhir Bulan Jun, tetapi atas-atas sebab tertentu, ia ditangguh ke hari ini.

Jadi, saya rasa tak salah Emir nak bergembira, lagipun saya agak yakin jugaklah dengan cikgu-cikgu di situ.

Jadi, pagi tadi, saya bangunkan Emir, mandikan Emir, pakaikan baju tshirt Kuning dan seluar Biru. Emir tak ade uniform sebab kecik lagi, tapi cikgu dia pesan suruh pakai cari baju warne macam tu, jadi boleh same dengan orang lain.

Emir masih mengantuk, tapi macam memahami, dia tak banyak kerenah pagi ini. Mengikut saje. Saya sapukan Vicks sebab dia selalu batuk. Hari ini saya sediakan dua beg. Satu beg ke daycare, satu lagi beg sekolah untuk Emir bawa. Cukup letak satu baju dan satu pampers. Saya sediakan botol air, lapik perut Emir kalau dahage.

Saya excited. Seronok tengok. Sepanjang jalan saya cerite dekat Emir ape dia akan jumpe. Faham tak faham belakang kire. Sesampai nye di tadika, sebuah bas berwarne oren sudah menanti, tapi cikgunyer berkate

"The Guppy class (2 years and below) will follow Mrs. Ngan (naik MPV)"..

Ok..

Jadi sekarang saya tidak sabar hendak mendengar cerite cikgu-cikgu. Ikutkan hati hendak aje telefon handphone cikgu Emir, tapi karang menganggu pula.

Lambatnya 5.30pm

p/s Sampai ke hari ini saya tidak beritahu kepada wan Emir dan Atok Emir. Jadi mungkin mereka akan tahu melalui blog saya. :p

Satu lagi cerita..

Alfatihah untuk nenek sedara (my late grandma's sis) - Pah Wah yang meninggal dunia pagi tadi di Ijok.

and again.. 2008 is not a so good year to my family, one of my uncle is admitted to the hospital for unknown disease...

one of my good friend back in St*mfor*d is getting married with someone big in the government post. congrats!!

All in all, life goes on, we learn to appreciate on what we have and to be closer to the Almighty.

*******************************************************************

As a young mother, and to be the first mother among your friend is something meaningful but apart from that, I have to learn a lot of things. Of cos I do have a mother but the way we want to raise our own blood i must admit it would be a bit different from our mother.

Plus point, my mum is a career woman. During her time, she has her own mother (my grandma) and her grandma (great grandma) to take care of her and us (my siblings). So, lucky for her cos she doesnt has to worry about who will be monitoring her kids. And another thing, again until now, I have this big envied with my own mum. Ahah.. Yeah during her confinement period. My opah and nenek taking care of her really really well. With barut, rempah, daun-daun, urut, tangas, herbs.. You named it. Even we (our family jauh dan dekat) knows how strict my opah and nenek at that time.

During my time, yes, my mum did the same thing, but as a modern mum she was not that strict. She did gave some advice but she just let me eat whatever I wished, it was just me to control my eating habit. And of cos, c-sect was the best reason why she couldnt applied the same to me. Sebab itulah my baby fat is still here, and there was not so many improvements on my fat after my confinement period.

Back to my story, as a young mother, i read alot, repeat a lot.. I have to since I didnt have any close friends to ask around. But i enjoyed more reading other mother's experience through blogging cos it is a real life story. Thanks for those who invented blogger cos i received a lot of information from it.

And here, i make a lot of friends. From virtual friend we are becoming good friends. We are becoming closer, of cos all of them are older than me.. hahahaha.. but we are in the same boat as most of us were waiting for our first child arrival.

And now, after two years ada yang dah bertambah ade yang belum. Mine, ok i have no idea when will be the time. InsyaAllah, but my mind is still not settling down. I still need more time to organize myself. :).. Kan papa kan..

Sebabnya..

Ramai orang bertanye "bile emir nak ade adik"..

Emir at 2

Hi. It has been a long silence for me. These days, I felt like im not into blogging. wooooo!! its that me?? Yeah, probably i just love reading blogs rather than writing.

First, i promised to post Emir's Bday party at his daycare centre. I hope that my charming hubby -- hehe bagi up sikit, will let me used the laptop. Anyway, speaking of utilizing the internet, my little baby wouldnt allow me to do so, everytime i touched the laptop, he will come towards me and say "Oyo Oyo" -- (Pocoyo) So there goes my fave past time.

Secondly, it took me ages to upload one single freaking pic. End up, i feel more comfortable "peeping" at other people's life - thats what hubby told me, "orang yang tengok blog orang ni suke nyebok hal orang lain". Anyone to back me up?

And third.. I can only blogging if only the dear husband is not using the computer and the son is sleeping which happened once in a blue moon. So, sekarang ni i tengah blog dekat dekat.. well the time posted here will answer to my question above.

Back on track, Emir is becoming naughtier and naughtier. I mean even naughtier. To make it short, we have cut his hair and he looks like tentera darat and yes, a lot different.

It happened yesterday when I was performing my Isyak prayer. I was in the room alone with him. Always, I pray and I will leave his toys to keep him occupied but yesterday, since it was in my mum's house and there were no toys around, so i was just leave him in that way.

And of cos as predicted, he grabbed my attention and yes sangat tidak kusyuk aku solat. First, he was "flying" around with the bed's pillar. alaa yang four foster bed tu. Mase tu hati aku dah berdegup, plus it was near the window, I was just afraid he would hit his head at the window and fell from bed. Even though, I was solat, but I did gave him this stare look yet he just ignored it.

Soon after, he was standing happily at the end of the bed, to be exact the empty space beside the mattress, buat gaya alaa-alaa ke kiri dan ke kanan, and looking at me. Oh, im telling you, Emir really buat darah ibu dia berdegup degup. He did fell but he didn't cry.

And he looked at me. That time, I was on my rakaat terakhir. And kedebush, he threw tin biskut at my head. Mase tu rase nak "smack down" Emir dah.. hahaha sakit bangat ok, but yeah, I did managed not to say "Adoi". haha. Since he looked at me with no response, again he did the same thing, but the fun thing was the tin hit his foot. Honestly, I was nearly laughing. Emir then hugged me and said "kit kit" (sakit) but yeah, it was a little while only. Quickly he took the tin and tried to bump to my head, but yeah, Tuhan saje yang tahu betape pantasnye aku membace tahiyat akhir itu.. and taraa... Tak sempat..

And, after I finished performed my prayer, he quickly asked for his milk.. "Bu, ku ku" (Ibu nak susu).. and guess what.. While I was away preparing for his milk, sempat tengok Emir celah pintu. He was lying down on the bed peacefully.. without any stunt that freak me off..

Well, i think thats the way he can grabbed my immediate attention.

Emir 2nd Birthday Party - Part 1

Alhamdulillah, Emir 2nd birthday Party was done smoothly, despite slightly hiccups but overall, I was not so kelam kabut as per last year, mane tak nyer semua nyer outsource. I was so determined to bake my son's birthday cake this year, but since tak cukup tangan dan kaki, again outsourcing is the best option.

Anyway, mind you this will be a long long entry. More pictures than words.. Thanks for those who came and special gift for Emir.. Emir loves it so much :) - mak dia pun excited jugak, hehehe

Sorry, not all pictures are posted here, hana, i ingat nak amik gambar mase budak2 swimming, sekali anak i mengamuk daa.. Speaking of Wet Birthday Party, oh no, it turned out to be Tantrum Pool Party, Oh my, Emir was crying like nobody business, ade ke patut nak mandi naked, aiyoo, Asyraf takut air pulak.. only little Haikal cool je, tapi kecik lagi, setakat tengok abang-abang nangis je... Sayang, cos the wheather was "supportive".

And today, we had organized small birthday party at Emir's daycare centre, here, it was amazing experience since we were surrounded by cutie pie kids.. They were excited especially during the blowing session, semua nak ikut blow candles.. Emir biaselaa, nangis pulak..

I love kids i love kids. Seriously, i feel very soothing and relaxing when the kids are around. They are honest, cute and semua-semua lah yang orang besar takde.. hope one fine day I can become kindergarten teacher..

I will post pictures taken at Emir's school later..

Overall, it was enjoyable and memorable Birthday Party for Emir
