This is supposed to be a last week post...

We were blank on where to go and what to do on the labor day. After a few brainstorming session and sms sent to a few ppl, we at last decided to go for bowling @ mines, only the three of us, to introduce idlan to the world of bowling, and to see all the big fat ikan keli over there. Mama made the day by beating abah, leading both of the games we played nyeh nyehhh...7 strikes for 2 games considered ok la kan, considering the last time i hit the bowling lane was about a year ago kots :p Idlan obviously enjoyed himself, stroking and counting the ball for how many times God's only know....thank u sayang for being a very good boy throughout the day :)



On the next day we went to PD to celebrate abah's besday...supposed to go there with tok and wan as well but both of them could not make it. That left only the 3 of us again, spending our one nite at tm's resort. One thing we learnt from the trip, Idlan takut mandi laut!! takut sesangat sampai takmo jln langsung atas pasir laut huhuhu. That explains why our pics only featured view at swimming pool and its surrounding huhu sgt boring! Click here for photos.

a special cake for a special person!

berebut pisau dgn abah...

terpaksala abah guna pisau potong daging :p

Abah now turned 27 already!

To Abah, Happy Birthday to u! Semoga panjang umur, dimurahkan rezeki kita sekeluarga, sihat sentiasa, dan berjaya dunia & akhirat.

Mama & Idlan sayangggggggggg abah muahhss!

19th April

A few days back when a few frens of mine asked, ko pegi tak pegi tak?

I replied with confidence...tak gi, tak cuti pon!

My mind and soul (:p) is fixed with that answer...but you know, women and shopping can hardly be separated. When the actual day comes yesterday, angin tade ribut tade tetiba hati terasa nak cuti hampehsss!

Looks like i need to go for some kind of meditation to make my heart becomes more kebal and less influenced to any sort of temptation like this.

The result, i got another 4 shirts for idlan, a 3/4 pants and a nice brown pooh sandal (tapi dia takmo pakai geram takkk?). And for myself, finally i got to buy my ever dreamed handbag that i've eyed since the past 2 months nyeh nyeh..kat sogo slash 10% tapi semlm discount 30% saya amat happy! Dan disebabkan hati tak kebal saya telah menyambar 2 instead of satu :)

And here goes what i did yesterday for ummimon (sebenarnye cuti nak buat ni bukan shopping :P):

1] vanilla muffin with almond toppings

2] vanilla cuppies for kakak and iman...k.tie requested for no icing, no topping actually, but i scribbled something simple to make it look less plain...hope she doesnt mind :)

i] Org ckp...there's always sun shine after the rain...and it does happen today!

Tak dpt L, dpt K dan B pun jadila...

Yang pasti kali ni tade omong2 kosong dgn idlan lagi hehehe

Oh semlm anak terunaku membuat 'sedikit' hal....blk dr ofis, terkebetulan geng kamceng dia (nama Farhan gak umur 5 thn) pon tgh nak masuk umah, ditariknyer tangan mama dia masuk ke umah geng dia tuh. Mama ni punyerla malu, mujur geng jugak ngan mak si Farhan ni...tapi still malu what! Bukan main syok dia main dlm umah Farhan tu, sampai buat drama swasta takmo blk umah even tho jam dah tunjuk pukul 7pm. Last resort, mama pon terpaksala tipu sunat ckp nak pegi JJ la ape la itu la...sumer tak menjadi, last sekali ummi Farhan terpaksa olok2 tutup tv, lampu, pintu umah depa...dan meng'escort' kami anak beranak blk umah (umah kitorang mcm menghadap satu sama lain).

.....harap2 ptg ni anakku tidak mengulangi kejadian semlm....dah pandai bertenggek kat umah org!

ii] Marble choc cheesecake utk Tini...

mujur semlm ade lord of the rings...so tadela mengantuk tunggu kek masak :)

Blueberry Cheese Tart

It's good to have a kelab wanita at our taman, they're very organized, active, always have lots of ideas and activities planned on weekend, and many more. Last Saturday i decided to join one of their activities, despite myself being quite new in the taman (we're phase 2 btw) and hardly know them. Tagged zarid along to accompany me, we had assorted tarts class with the instructor specially invited by the kolej komuniti bangi. Pay only RM10 and we learned how to make 3 different tarts, i.e cheese, fruit tartlets and egg tarts. The task is easy yet tedious and consumes lots of time. I tried doing cheese tart last two night, and my biggest mistakes, i did 2 adunan instead of 1, resorted me only being able to go to bed at 330am :(

Lenguh satu badan nak buat pastry dia...tapi serius enjoy! Yang penting, pruzz kata lagi sedap dr instructor punyer hohoho

small tart

regular tart

csws1090 tart :p

baked cheese tart

Kalo nak order cam biasa email eh :)

my oh my~

Dalam pada kami berbangga bila Idlan dah kenal warna, berjaya dlm speech departmentnyer, pandai kira sikit-sikit, recently mama dan abah Idlan start terasa betapa susahnyer the journey of parenthood ni.

Alkisahnya, lately si kecik sudah pandai melawan, bila ditegur, dibalasnye kite balik. Bila kita naik suara sket, dibalasnye balik dgn tone yg sama level. Mama cuba berdiplomasi, tegur dgn cara baik, intonasi suara punyerla lembut, tapi dia nangis plak in return. Diulang byk kali, still menangis dan takde improvement. Dan masalah paling besar, dia dah pandai jelir lidah, walaupun jelir sikit je kuar, tapi still considered jelir!

Aduhai anak, tolonglah faham bahawa jelir lidah tu tak bagus dan tak baik, agak tak manis dipandang orang.

......takper, kami takkan putus asa, akan dicuba utk mendidik si dia sampai berjaya berubah!
Dan sayang, bila mama atau abah marah tu tandanya kami sayang...dun take us wrong ok :)

Ahad ni kita pegi swimming okeh, langkawi dah takde harapan, makanyer kelab komuniti cyberjaya will be our next target!

p/s: tadi dlm berani tak berani tu saya mengemail bakal lecturer, bertanye sama ada akan ade presentation tak pada 28/29 hb nanti, saya inform kalau tak penting saya nak skip klas. Tapi skang macam menyesal plak email dia, mesti dah jadi bad impression plak (budak ni klas blom start dah ade niat nak ponteng!)

My head swollen inside, and things just slipped off plan since last saturday. We were supposed to start our new subject, and when i reached the class, nobody was there, called my frens, they asked me back, tak bace email ker? klas dah postpone ke 21/4. Still ok hearing that, but when she continued, klas kite 21, 28, 5, then exam 19/5...i was like OMG...Langkawi ku!!!

Dear my beloved lecturer,
I still dont know you, never meet you, expecting to meet you on last saturday but suddenly you postpone our class. I dont mind u shifting the class to suit your schedule, but plizz la why is it has to be clashed with my plan. You've screwed up my long-awaited Langkawi weekend get away dont u realize that? there gone all my correlle, corningware, chocolates and what nods. I've booked the hotel, tell my son that we'll be staying at hotel, jump to the pool, and you know what? my son is sooo looking forward to swim with his new suit (tak beli pon lagi la :p) Warned u, i may skip the class if there is no presentation involving myself, but dont blame me, i just cant let go my langkawi plan after all the angan-angan for the past two months. And my bonus money...i've put aside RM$$$ just for the trip, and now it seems that the rezeki might eventually go to TH.

.....me so sad huhuhu

Coming out next.....blueberry cheese tart :)

of colours!

Few weeks back Abah got a free 'congkak' games courtesy of MMU for launching one of its traditional games events. Brought home the congkak, we played with Idlan at nights, but of course main tipu-tipu saje ok. What attracts us most is the colourful guli-guli, of which they look exactly like coklat Smarties tuh. Idlan is not the kind of toddler yg picking up things and tuck inside his mouth, hence we do not worry much to let him play the guli alone.

I play with him and i told him, yellow color belongs to pak su, green color is nek umi's, black is abah's, red belongs to mama, blue belongs to idlan, etc. After several repetition and practise he can now memorize the basic colours, and associated it with things surround him. He knows he's wearing a yellow shirt, mama has red pant, knows our curtain is green, so as the green wall. The pillow is white, the buai is red in colour, his power rangers watch is blue, and there are 5 power rangers with different colours. And not forgetting all trees are green!

Now we know he likes colours, apart from his hobby of singing alif, ba, ta, jim, ha, ho....(he always missed sa by the way hehe).

Does anyone has Tilmiz cd? i'll pay for the burned cd tq :)

bonus

I guess now people are busy looking out for places to go for holidays, or check out the web sites for sales, or merely completing their online transactions, transferring the money here and there. Before I forget, thanks to the company for the money, it does works as some forms of motivation and encouragement for better works in future. Despite grievances and murmurs to some people, I tell myself it’s ok if you don’t score above average in your working department. At least am far better off in other ways (ayat penyedap hati ehehehe).

I was locked in MMC for a three-days training, and yesterday was the bestest day as we completed the course for half-day only. Whether it is just our luck or merely a coincidence, the bonus payday also falls on yesterday. To cut it short, the cash outflow goes to the Sogo department and Jln TAR (Sogo sales gegiler harus pegi :p). I congratulate myself, for being able to control my nafsu and only spent about 8% of the bonus amount. I shall allocate 1/5 of it for our Langkawi trip, and some hundreds to the family members. The rest shall sit safely in my TH account. Earlier I was thinking to get a new, big, nice oven to replace the current one. However after much deliberation I don’t think I’m in a dire need of a new one. After all I don’t bake as often as I should to, having a new one will make me feel guilty if it does not operate to its full utilization scales. With the MBA class going on, plus if I get pregnant somewhere around this year, definitely the new oven will sit nicely in its nest untouched. So lets just abort the oven hunt till next yr or Raya ok. Wait until I finish my class then only can start considering seriously on the small-scale baking business.

The little guy of the house has becomes very choosy nowadays. He now choose himself on what to wear after taking bath, what to wear before going to bed, what to wear for outing, etc. Yesterday the little boy and his mama had fun trying their new outfits in front of mirror in the master bedroom (before abah coming back home hehe) And when abah knocked the door, terus bising dia announce idlan ade baju dinasour, seluar pooh, nak pakai balik kampung, nak pakai pegi langkawi, bla bla bla.... Sampai nak pakai bwk tido, mujur berjaya pujuk utk basuh dulu hehe

Back to the bonus money, how do you guys go about it? Ada yg cuti2 ke luar negara ker?

Idlan...

He now counts 1,2,3 until 10
At times he says satu, dua, tiga ...hingga sepuluh
He can say A, B, C, D, E..but sometimes not in the correct sequence

But what amazes us, he also know alif, ba, ta...sampai ho

I was touched on the first time i heard that...
All this while I only managed to teach him 1,2,3....10
Thanks to the teachers at his nursery, they really done a good job on that!

Chicken balls spaghetti with spinach

Today's spaghetti was a bit different. Since i dont have carrot or capsicum in fridge, i resorted to spinach instead. It's kinda weird putting green vege, apetah lagi spinach but honestly it tastes quite good hehe

Still need to put that considering Idlan is a big fan of vege, to be specific GREEN vege :p

Weekend's activity

1] Sunday morning spent at Zoo Negara

It was great having the chance to brought idlan to the zoo, he recognizes almost every animal there, except the uncommon ones like rhynos, tapir, etc. The trip was fun yet very tiring, we walked and complete the whole compound for two hours, honestly i felt like dragging my legs to the exit gate more than once.

It was unfortunate our battery runs flat, hence we managed to snap only a few pics.

The ticket now priced at RM15/adult.

2] Im selling choc almond brownies, orders delivered once a week, usually on Monday.

loyang 10 inch x 10 inch (weight 1.4kg) - RM22

a slice of brownie costs u RM1.50

I'm halfway done with the current subject, another one month to go before i enter the second qtr journey of the mba program. Me and my partner received a well-done notes from the lecturer for our last presentation, talking to the whole class for nearly 3 hours seems too short actually. And we enjoyed every bits of it, including the apprentice video. I'm left with another 2 big assignments and now have started thinking about Langkawi already...blom abis klas pon lagik hehe

We planned to go to langkawi somewhere in end of march or early april, before the new class starts. I need to get some pinggan mangkuk and serving tray, in case tetamu comes i dont have to take out my old and ONLY melamine sets that we have at home (pity us isnt it?) I dont really consider buying things like that all this while, but now after living in our own house, dont think serving foods with melamine would be appropriate any more. But langkawi has more to offer other than that, am really looking forward to try the cable car, get idlan to see penguins at the underwater world, and bring home loads and loads of chocholates! aduss tak sabarnyer saya!

On the other notes, after 1 year and 3 months of waiting, my husband has finally been awarded with his master of philosophy. Thanks to the bureaucracy in the university, i guess my husband was among the unlucky ones for having to go through such dreadful journey along the way. Nevertheless alhamdulillah and syukrillah, our prayer was answered and finally the joyous moment becomes ours. tak sabar nak pegi konvo dia! Congrats b, jgn lupa blanjer pinggan mangkuk utk mama hehehehe. His convo will be somewhere in july or august, and my turn will be next year....the BIG thing is that i'll be wearing a different robe this time :p

And yes my PIL came to our house since Thursday and idlan seems to have forgotten my existence ever since then. He becomes so close with his tok and wan especially, nak wan suap, buli wan main itu ini, ikut lah wan ke mana sahaja. The good thing is mama dpt relaks habis! Tomorrow they're leaving and i hope the attached-to-mama-sindrome won't re-occur :p

talking about Idlan.....

Anybody knows how to make your child less attached to yourself? if yes all suggestions or recommendations are highly welcomed!

From the first day we moved to the new house, idlan's getting more and more attached to me. I could hardly move around the house, with him clinging at my shirts/kain/pants, following me around here and there. To the toilet, upstairs, kitchen, to be exact every inch of the house is no more free. Even if i go to sink and wash my hands for less than a minute, he'll screamed as if i disappeared and vanished to somewhere where he cannot see me! He'll always sit or stand besides me; time goreng ayam, basuh pinggan, itu dan ini.....I pray and he'll sit or stand still on the prayer mat, wait till i finish, and of course with some interruption going on like touching or belek my kain semayang, intai bwh kain, etc. And now he started producing one kind of sound which we find it quite annoying and very mengada-ngada :(

Night time, i need to accompany him and pretend to sleep when he wants to sleep, which sometimes i ended up betul2 tersleep! Sometimes he sleeps on my hip, stomach, leg, whichever parts of the body that he likes until i got cramp but only able to move him bila dia betul2 dah tido. Recently at the hospital, he slept cuddling my body in a seating position and i can move nowhere.

I know some people says a son is closer to his mom and a daughter has higher tendency to cling more to her dad. This happens to my brother where his daughter is very attached to him and looking at his face with full admiration and obsession (tersgt klakar if u see this :p). But how i wish idlan would give 50-50 attention to the both of us equally, so that i have time for myself, to clean the kitchen, to iron clothes, or do anything with the house chores all alone with no outside disturbance. The dreadest part, when we go for outing, like yesterday to ikea, just imagine i have to carry him most of the time when he refused to walk (this is another problem to be tackle on immediately). I dont want to see Dr George, my orthopaedic again. I dont want to take any pain killer again.

Im not complaining, just hoping that the situation will change so that i got more time for myself. And saying this does not mean that idlan is not close to his father. Of course he's very close to my hubby, especially during part yg bergurau2 lasak/geletek, it's just that he has this kind of 'mother-son-attached-problem' which i dunno its common among other mothers out there or not.

So my dear bloggers out there, pls share your tips to solve the issue hehe thank you!

p/s:

• i've scold him - no effect
• i've left him behind during our outing - he screamed and nangis olok2 of which ppl will start looking and staring at you and they might be saying, what a bad mother she is!
• have tried to ignore him while settling my chores - still does not solve the issue because he keeps on berbunyi-bunyi and nangis dan terasa sgtla annoying

Whatever it is, mama still loves you and it never becomes lesser as time passes by :p If nothing helps then i guess i must accept it as parts n parcels of motherhood life hehe

what we did over the CNY weekend

Our balik kampung plan has to be cancelled. Idlan was warded at Az-Zahra Bangi due to his high fever since Monday. On Friday after ofis hour we headed straight to a panel clinic to get referral letter, then proceed to az-zahra to meet the paed. Idlan's blood was taken as sample, then the paed decided idlan has to stay there due to some inconsistency with his blood counts. We were unlucky for all the single rooms were fully occupied, hence resorted to 3-room, sharing with a girl suspected to have dengue, and a baby girl sufffering diarrhoea. First night was quite terrible, with water drip on his left hand, i could hardly sleep because i need to consistently adjust wire yg berbelit-belit sbb idlan tido tunggang terbalik. At times the wire stuck below his tummy, later the wire berbelit at his neck, etc....with the baby girl next door crying out loud in midst of the night....what with the small bed i had to share and squeeze with him...sakit belakang woo. The next day we moved to a single room, nevertheless idlan's condition never gets better, the nurse took his urine for sample. His fever still on yo-yo, he refused to eat and drink, and the water drip has to be continued. Sunday came, he got slightly better and we managed to get him eat/drink a bit. And on Monday morning, we got the green light to go back but still he needs to continue with the antibiotic. Yesterday he's back to his own feet, and we spent the whole day outside, outing to ikea and a few shops in bangi and serdang.

We're yet to received his urine test result, but that did not worry us too much upon seeing him back to his normal self. The doc said it could be the viral infection, hence causing the prolonged on-off fever for more than a week. Whatever it is, alhamdulillah dan syukur Ya Allah. Dan hikmahnya, kami tak stuck dlm traffic jam yg teruk ke Utara kalau blk kampung on that saturday hehe.

of making a decision

1] My lawyer fren and i will be having a big presentation right after the CNY. We'll be taking our prof's position and do the talking in front of class for 2 hours. The topic will be Communication and Decision Making. And as of today, we haven't start anything, our progress is zero, even the outlines or draft have not been finalized yet :p The points to be included are simple and easy, we can just look out for several books on the relevant topic and prepare our write-up and slides. The toughest part is on the presentation. Talking for 2 hours and grabbing the whole class's attention is not easy. To reach the target of 2 hours time is another BIG issue. To make sure they do not fall asleep is another challenge. Adoi diriku bukan seorang lecturer! Btw the carry marks is 30%, which is a lot man!

2] Idlan is still on high fever...his tonsil does not improve. Yesterday from 7am till 2.30pm he refused to take any food/water...after much forces i managed to get him drink 4oz of milk...tu saje. Sian dia, and sian mama too...sbb dia berkepit je ngan aku ke mana sahaja ku pergi! When night approches only he showed some intention to eat a bit and drink some water :(

3] The bos finally told me the 'thing'...only after i got the informal info from another bos. And now the dilemma comes into the picture. It's a coincidence since i'm presenting the decision making topic next week hehe...theoretical part is easy, apply this tool, use that technique, evaluate bla bla bla...when you've been placed in that position, then only u know the difficulty of making the best decision!

latest pics

Khas untuk mak ude...gambar terbaru idlan taken at nearby playground. Skang dah jadi aktiviti wajib, dari nursery mesti pegi playground dulu before balik umah...dan mama secara paksa rela terpaksa korbankan citer Muatiara Hati every petang huhu ...dahla slalunyer takmo balik, terpaksa PAKSA dia balik even tho dah pukul 7pm :p

Dan mama boleh mengucapkan selamat tinggal to La Boheme.....:p

2] Akhirnya setelah lebih setahun menanti, abah dipanggil untuk viva/thesis defence pada 8 Februari 2007.....via video conferencing lagik tuh hehehe. Gud luck sayang..moga Allah permudahkan segalanya. Harap2 lepas ni kita dua takde dah komplen pasal birokrasi yg berlaku kat Univ kite ni huhuhu

3] Idlan dgn gembiranye melangkah masuk ke nursery baru dia pagi tadi. After salam kami, terus dia main lego, jumpe kawan2 baru, cikgu baru. Bila mama start enjin keta je, terus dengar dia crying dgn kuatnya....oo' owww sori sayang, ptg ni abah bwk pi playground ok!

yeye!

Finally, the much-awaited exam is over. It was my first open book exam, and it was kinda funny for the prof let us go out for coffee break after about 1/2hr the test started. Surely he couldnt expect us not to discuss on the question amongst us during the break. Surely we'll be chit-chatting on it and make comparisons bla bla bla....but the prof is such a wise and intelligent prof...he designed the question in a way that not much can be discussed even if we sit down and brain storm. It was a case study, a ten-page to be exact with five sub questions, which requires us to discuss and present our own arguments, and i believe there's no right or wrong answers. Me and my friends, instead of discussing on it, we just enjoyed our delicious nasi lemak, kuih and coffee, and only touched a bit on it. After about 20 min break, we entered the room and continue writing... and then the prof interrupted, announcing that there is no time limit for the exam! and one of the students said, what happen if we cant finish by evening prof? and the prof said, by that time u wont even have the energy to write!

Suddenly the prof said he'll stop us at 1pm. Kelam kabut makcik nak abiskan writing haha

btw am looking forward for the next 2 weeks for my final presentation. Hope there's not much surprise happen on that day :) And we'll be interviewing the MD of Dikayu Nasi Kandar this coming wednesday for our group project....ade rezeki dptla mkn nasi kandar free :p

Next week dah start subject baru...masuk ke-4 tinggal lagi 10 yes laaa!

Alhamdulillah kami dah selamat tido di rumah baru. Mlm ni bakal malam ke-5. Tido tenang, lena, tade gangguan. Cuma mlm pertama aku takut nak turun bawah (hehe umah sendiri pon takut :p)

Semlm secara official dah rasmi dapur baru, setelah sekian lama dapur tak berasap since bulan Ramadhan, makanyer semlm dapatla pruz ngan idlan merasa masakan mama dia....tp masak sempoi jer la :p

Dari jumaat sampai ahad mmg kemas brg gegiler punyer..sampaikan aku hampir ilang suara. Rumah sgtla berdebu, sehari mau 3x aku mop...mungkin sbb byk rumah tgh renovate kot, tu yg berdebu je tuh.

Idlan masih dihantar ke nursery lama...sbb dah bayar kan so kenala antar sampai cukup bulan. Sian plak nak antar dia ke nursery baru Feb nanti, harap2 nursery baru cikgu bebaik, kengkawan pon bebaik sumer.

The new subject drives my nerves to the max. The associate prof. came in to our first class, telling stories, jokes and some basic concepts on the subject, asked us to identify our group, then later on assigned case study and suddenly asked us to get prepared for presentation immediately on the next day. No rough ideas on what to do, no knowledge on the subject, no nothing…and you have to come out with solutions to the case study. And being a ‘wise’ student, myself and my group member dgn bangganya volunteered for case study 1, until to find out that our case was the longest amongst all, 30 pages men!….and all we had was ONLY one night to work on it! Menyesal tak go thru all the cases first before volunteer nak case mane…padan sgtla muka kitorang berdua L

So that night, I opened the newly-bought textbook, after a few pages eyes could hardly-opened already, so that’s it. I closed the book, set the clock at 230am, to wake up and continue reading, solve the case, and prepare the presentation slides. Lucky me I woke up as exactly as I wished to, managed to settle everything by the time azan subuh berkumandang. Siap2 sumer, terus drive ke klas, drop idlan at umi’s,…kepala agak serabut due to lack of sleep, we had no rehearsal, no nothing, Tapi alhamdulillah Allah permudahkan segalanya, presentation smooth, Q&A ok, sumer ok kot.

And after the second meeting ended, again the professor put us in dreaded situation. The individual assignment should demonstrate the highest standards of excellence in conceptualization, exposition, methodology, and craftsmanship. Students should demonstrate how their analysis illuminates a significant research problem or answers an important research question, of general interest in entrepreneurship and small business.

……………dia expect kita come out with research proposal and paper macam budak2 phd! Adoiii kami bukan student phd prof, kami cuma amik mba…kenapakah ditorture sedemikian rupa???

…..dahla internet slow banget, camner nak come out with good articles, journals and references prof??? dahla kena submit dlm masa 3 minggu, dahla ade case study lain, group assignment lain, test dan sebagainya.

Dahla aku tgh bz nak pindah….

Adus aku tgh stress!

2007

We bid farewell to 2006, and welcome 2007. Im looking forward for better health, happiness and prosperous for my family and frens. Started the New Year by coming early to the office, such a good start isn’t it? And as expected, only a few person turns out today, the rest are on EL, AL, etc. Again as expected we receive massive number of dockets, but we’re coping very well. No more stress stress ok!

Well I hope the new year will evidence me turning into a better person i.e better wife, better mom, and better employee to my company. Hope I can be more tolerate and considerate when it comes to ‘rumahtangga’ matter, be more patient dealing with idlan’s attitudes and behavior, and speak nicely to customers under any circumstances (even tho I know previously I’ve been doing quite well on this :p). And oh also performs well in my mba!

We’re moving out soon from Equine, its quite sad to leave the place after 3 yrs of staying there, with mc D within 3 minutes drive from home, jusco, kedai mamak and all. There’ll be no more frequent bubur ayam mc d for idlan’s dinner, and I have to cook religiously from now, also to ensure that my porridge tastes as nice as mc d’s (except for the extra ajinomoto part :p)

Idlan’s speech is progressing well alhamdulillah, he now speaks a lot of words, sort of impress with him actually J. He can imitate people; he can pretend to be ‘hantu’ and scary people, he can ‘geletek’ us, and he sometimes drown in his own imaginary world, speaking alone and telling story to himself. He even asks me to feed his spiderman or cicakman while im feeding him. And yes he now becomes a fanatic fan of cicakman, no more mr incredibles I supposed! Guess his favourite toy is what? Pencil pencil and pencil! Suke benar dia menulis and color…nampak je iklan faber castell ke, stabillo ker…terus dia jerit idlan nak tu nak tu nak tu!
