Tak Jadi

I am back, tak jadi nak amik 1 hari cuti. My mil nya BP is very high so i have to bring her to her normal GP to check on her blood pressure and i have to bring her back for last round of assessment on the June 8th to see if she is fit to be operated on. Itulah sebab i am back to work now, sepatut nya i have to report back to work at 2 but i masuk kul 1 instead sebab i need the extra hour time off so bila i send my mil again on the 8th i tak yah lah amik cuti or time off.

My DH is at home entertaining my girl and he will pick me up from work later and will follow him to the field again, main bola. I nak make my girl lari2 1 padang so that she will be tired and mlm ni dia boleh tido early and i can finish my ironing malam ni.

I am looking forward to tomorrow to spend the whole day at my sis place. My kak long dah beli kepala ikan and i will cook kari (nanti i snap gambar nya) and not only that kita akan masak semur lidah lembu, phew sedap nya..........dah lama tak makan. Bila my sis kol smlm and inform me that she already bought lidah lembu, kecur air liur i and terharu rasa nya cause she took the time to go geylang just to buy for me sebab dia tau i suka. Dulu arwah bonda i slalu beli lidah lembu either i will cook dalca or sop dicampur ngan ekor lembu, makan ngan sambal kicap celup kan ngan roti perancis phoo pegi beb. I kalau nak makan benda2 macam ni i nak kena tunggu gi rumah kakak i baru boleh dpt sebab my DH and his family tak makan ni semua, kalau daging the real meat or tulang kambing, kalau the rest of the meat, a big no, no, no so i slalu tak ada geng nak makan kalau beli sikit and makan sendiri mana ada kick kan terpaksa lah kena tunggu gi rumah kak i baru boleh dpt and knowing my eldest sister who luv her sibling to death especially me, maklum lah i kan the youngest, she will try her very best to cook or beli bahan ni so that i boleh dpt makan. Thank you kakak, luv u very deep, deep, muacks, muacks. Not only that my kak ngah pulak dpt order buat kuih tart so i boleh ngecek sikit kak dia, oi my kak ngah nya tart really melt in the mouth and her marble cake power gila, but dont worry kalau makan tak gila. Ok lah better back to my work b4 my betara guru muncul depan mata i and see me curi tulang berblogging. So tunggu my update next week k..........

Cuti Lagi Tau - Half Day Je

Ok besok i cuti half day again sebab nak send my mil for her medical check-up before her eye operation in June, maklumlah menantu mithali (ya right). I will be coming in @ 2pm instead tapi kan rasa-rasa nya i wont be coming in at all sure rasa penat. Everytime i send my mil gi her eye check-up rasa ngatuk gila beb because the waiting time ya ampun boleh give up seh and penat tau, bukan penat buat apa, penat tunggu and tunggu.

Tapi kan kalau i tak masuk, hmph keje ni masih belambak i blum abis kan tapi sempat pulak eh update my blog, curi tulang kejap, he, he, he anyway betara guru tak ada, gi minum kopi. Alah like i said b4 keje mana boleh abis, kalau abis i will be out of job. I think i tengok my mood besok kalau rasa lain mcm je, eleh kol my boss and tell him i am taking 1 day leave instead. Agak2 boleh tak, urgh!!! decision, decision, decision................

Very Please

After semalam nya outburst i got a very good news today from my baby girl nya teacher. My Audrey is very different at school, she is not clingy, in fact she is very independent, she luv singing and dancing. She is able to communicate well with her friends and she has one thing in common both in school and at home, she is very bossy. The teacher says that she instruct and tell her friends what to do or to pack all the toys away. I am so relieve to hear this.

That is my target when i send her to a playgroup its for her to mix with other children her age and slowly introduce her the concept of going to school and also to bring out her personality cause my girl is very shy and bukan untuk force her to learn abc or recite something very well or to compete with other mothers. When her teacher give me her feedback, i want to jump for joy, yippee,my girl luv school and its shows.

Everyday without fail i will ask her, how's school today, what song u sing and did u do painting and she is able to describe to me what she did even though in short sentences but i can see that her communication level has improved so much and thanks to the teacher, she has done a great job in guiding my girl. Like i have mentioned b4 i dont have any expectation on my girl, i just let her be, right now she luv to do colouring so i bought her more crayon so she has more colours to choose from and not forgetting colouring book. Yesterday night she did mention,

Audrey : Babah buy book babah
Babah : what book
Audrey : colour
Ibu : do you want story book also
Audrey : yes

So u see my girl is able to tell me what she wants and she did not ask for more as she can sit down and do colouring for abt 15 mins and she luvs animals books. I will keep on praying that my girl keep up with the good work and now cracking my head how to keep her occupy during June school holiday. Nak amik leave dah tak leh sal leave tinggal sikit, so babah has to sacrifice his leave and time to entertain his little princess.

Temperature!! Boiling MAD!!!!!!

Not only the weather is hot but my temper is boiling too this morning. I cuba control my temper as much as i could and i have to remain mum in the car this morning. I just kept quiet when my DH was talking, i have to matikan diri i and Istighfar banyak2 in my head so that i tak blow my top off. Even kalau i tell my DH pun dia akan jawab i ikutkan perasaan instead of my head so in order not to make matter worse diam lagi bagus, hati tak sakit.

U all must be wondering why am i so hot, well every morning i have to rush to do a lot of things b4 going to work. Do the laundry, make sure the trash bag are in place, the dishes are put back in the cupboard and prepare my daughter's stuff on top of that i have to bath my girl, clean my room, etc, etc. Every morning bila i sampai office rasa mcm penat belum start engine nak do my office work baru hse work rasa mcm nak lepak. Smlm malam my mil dah handwash 2 of her home baju and i was wondering why does she has to handwash her clothes while normally she will dump it in the washer but i tak amik kisah lah, worst come to worst besok tak yah nak cuci baju sal the load will be lesser and true enough this morning tak banyak baju so i just leave it and guess what bila i told my mil that i want to bring my girl down for a walk baru lah she told me that she has put my sil nya dirty laundry in the washer. I terperanjat kejap huh, so i have to put my girl down and lari to the kitchen to reload all the laundry and start the machine. What i am mad about is why is my sil do damn bloody lazy!!! why cant she put all the dirty laundry in the washer yesterday night so i tak lah kelam kabut this morning. She dont lift a finger to help around the hse baju dia my mil yg uruskan, dia tau bangun pagi mandi campak baju dlm toilet, siap kluar, balik mandi, campak baju dlm toilet, tido but b4 that she will bring in drinks and food into the bedroom so bila pagi my mil will collect all of that and dump in the sink and guess who yg kena cuci, me lah.

Kalau i tegur my sil, my mil tak terima and i yg kena sindir2 and she kp on saying dulu mak kawin pun mak tak tau masak tapi mak metua mak tak ckp apa2 pun. I tak tau lah apa makna what my mil is saying what i know is that dia tak suka anak dia kena tegur but kalau my mil ckp hal anak org, whoa berapi. Dah lah i tak nak komen banyak sangat nanti dosa pulak. Nak tak nak kena sabar je lah, look on the brighter side. I need a vacation very badly................

Yes!!!

U all must be wondering kan apa ke benda ngan my entry YES!!! ni kan. As u know last Friday i was on half day to do some leg working and dah visit 2 kindergarten, i dont want to name them, we name kinder A & B.

Kinder A - The senior teacher that i spoke is a very soft spoken person. I can see that she love kids and have the patient handling small children which i feel is not an easy job. The kinder follows MOE syllabus and guidelines of which that for a young child there will be no worksheets or examination, which both my DH and I totally agree. We were there for an hour asking question and i can see my little princess luv the school.

Kinder B - The principal that we meet is a confident person and on a strict side. They did not follow MOE guideline. The kids will be introduce worksheet and writing at a very early age and by term 1 the kids will be able to write their name. By the 3rd & 4th term the children will have examination. Huh! exam at a tender age of 4, they are only kids, let them enjoy their childhood. My DH was horrified and he say NO immediately.

Ok some parents will luv to send their child to kinder b as they have worksheet to do, examination to sit for and not forgetting spelling. My god, they are only kids, like my girl she just turn 3 when she go to N2 and so does other year end kids and we have to shove all this down their throat!! can we write our name when were 3 or 4? i dont think so and are we a failure now? no we are not and why do we have to force this on to our children. The main reason that kinder b gave was the children will not have culture shock when they go to Pri 1 that is why they introduce worksheets and examination at a very young age. I was thinking what culture shock, why must i force my little girl to do all this when i myself did not have to do all this when i was at her age. Agree that the education system now is not the same when we were children. The system now is already so stressful and parents are challenging with each other and boast towards each other of what their children is capable of, so bottom line the kids are being force to do all this is because is what the parents want but do we ever think what the children really want, yah we will say what the children know or diaorang masih budak lagi mana diaorang tau. Both my DH and I agree that we DO NOT want to add on the extra pressure and stress to our girl unnecessary, we both dont know yet what are her weakness and strength as she is still very young and we believe as a parent, we have to facilitate and guide. Ok lah celoteh banyak sangat regarding this issue i can go on and on forever. BTW i dah register pun anak i at kinder a and am happy about it.

Aft the leg work and visiting my girl tak nak balik

Audrey : Babah dont want to go home babah

Babah : Ok, you follow babah to the field ok and play football

Audrey : Ok kick ball

So nak tak nak terpaksa lah ikut rentak bapak and anak, ikut my hubby main bola, as for my princess she enjoys all the attention that she gets from all the uncles.



Ok not only the little princess having fun but ibu pun have fun running around


My princess tired face, dah penat gila, battery dah weak tinggal 1 bar!!

As for Saturday, my DH and I went back to kinder a for registration and this time around i brought my mil skali. She seems to be happy with our choice cuma 1 problem the school bus, dia takut that my girl tak ada org jaga nanti so siang2 lagi dia dah warn my fil that from next year onwards he has to go to my girl nya kindergarten and make sure that my girl take the school bus safely, hai susah betul lah no matter how much i have explain there no need to do that but my mil still degil, gasak lah. Aft that we manage to go to Philip warehouse sale, ingat nak tangkap the TV but fikir punya fikir no need lah not now, maybe next year baru lah kita grab a new TV. Oh ya that evening i ada wedding dinner to attend at Traders Hotel so i told my mil

Me : Mak org masak nasi goreng je boleh sal cuma mak & abah je kak rumah

Mil : Boleh lah sembarang je, mak tak kisah.

Phew, nasib baik setakat nasi goreng cepat & sedap di makan tapi kalau for arwah bonda i yg tersayang beliau akan comment ni masak org malas. I layarkan gambar nasi goreng i, selera tau!


Betul tak!! Betul.........

Sunday i ada jemputan birthday party, my fil nya side cucu sedara dia, so have to drop by Toy's R Us so biasa lah my princess will request something from her babah

Audrey : I want drum, i want drum

Babah : Darling u sure u want this (babah pointing at the drum)

Audrey : Yes

So another addition to her collection


The rock star in the making.........she is enjoying the drum, enjoying making noise with it and at the same time making ibu having splitting headache!!

Ok lah that's it for today, phew panjang betul my entry ari ni eh...........

Half Day

Yeah!!! ari ni keje half day je sebab nak do leg work finding the correct school for my little princess. She will start her nursery education next year and registration @ the PAP Kindergarten dah start as for the private kinder not yet so both my DH & I have to start to source around and see what's best for my little princess. She will be joining us and i want to see her reaction when she see the school.

I have mix feeling, excited & sad. Excited because i can see how much my girl have grown and how much she has change from a very shy littel girl and now dah more friendlier ever since since she go to school, sad cause kalau boleh i nak my little princess remain as a toddler cause she is so cute........... and she is so funny...........

My colleague did mention that one of her friend dah start her child in phonics classes. As for me not yet, i want my child to enjoy her childhood and not to stress her up cause she got a long way to go. Honestly when i send her to the playgroup i dont have any expectation from my girl, i just want her to enjoy herself mixing with her age group that's all. Audrey baby u tak yr time, ibu & babah will be by your side always................

Betul Kan Tak Tido

Ya ampun masuk office tadi termenung jap, i berangan kejap and imagine me sleeping on a hammock under a coconut tree at a quiet, serene beach with the wind blowing ah....... best nya, dream on. My princess nya nose block so naturally she will be restless and when she is restless i jadi sleepless. Wow it rhymes.

Semalam i did went to JP with my little girl to buy karvol, its for her blocked nose it's suppose to help her sleep better. Kita singgah jap at popular bookshop to see whether we can buy the little bear cd but unfortunately tak ada so i ask my girl:

Me : Baby there is no little bear cd do u want to buy strawberry shortcake cd instead.

Princess : No ibu, i want book, bu look tiger (she is holding the colouring book)

Babah : ok u choose yr book

Best nya kalau jadi my girl eh, my DH has given her the freedom in choosing what she want. Dari ke food, toys, book sampaikan dressing pun my DH will let her choose since she has her own preference. My DH says if we can choose what we want why not we let her choose, she knows what she likes and dont, so dont force her to like what we like. Ok lah, so far my princess is easy to handle for eg kalau she wants to eat noodle and i cook she will eat it but if u give her otherwise that's it, makan main2. My princess is really happy that she get 2 colouring books and a new box of crayon sampai kan lupa the chocolate and sweet that we bought for her, but babah is complaining u know the normal crayon cost abt $2+ but the washable crayon cost $9+.

Sampai rumah my princess tak sabar straight away she took out her crayon and start doing colouring. By nine i dah get her ready for bed, i took me 1 1/2hr to make her sleep, she is so restless, baring salah, duduk salah, tido atas badan babah dia pun tak kena, i peluk dia tak kena, naik turun katil je until babah fed-up sikit

Babah : ok babah want to go out, i want to poo-poo

Princess : no babah, poo-poo here, cannot go out

My DH terus kluar and apalagi my princess melalak lah, i nak pujuk and carry her pun susah, she dah terduduk on the floor nangis sambil gelek2.

Babah : Ok if u dont want babah to go out u better lie down on the bed if u dont then babah go out.

Princess : ok babah, babah sleep here (she is pointing where she wants her dad to lie down)

Aft that baru lah my princess lie down and finally she falls asleep but restless lah. She woke up at 2am in the morning crying by now my DH dah tak leh bangun cause he let me sleep first while she looks aft my girl dari kul 2 sampai lah abt 5+ so dpt lah i lelap kejap and guess what i bangun lambat, 7.10 nasib baik i ni memang pantas buat keje so dengan pantas lah i siap and get my girl ready and i told my mil dont have to send my girl to school and let her rest for the day.

So skg ni dah mcm zombie lunch time is tido time.............

Midweek Blues

Tak kena monday blues but got hit by midweek blues plak. Hai dari pagi tadi i buat keje sampai i tak tau apa yg i buat. Sini sikit, sana sikit, bila buat project a, project b ada a bit problem so kena solve then stop buat a, buat project b blum abis buat project b, ada misc problem pulak timbul, mcm mana ni mana satu nak kasi abis. Urgh!!! memmang betul mak saya ckp hari ini memang hari i hilang focus tak ada concentration. Tengok keje masih blum selesai baru abis buat 1 submission, itu pun nak kena force myself to do it.

Home front pulak, my mil told me that princess i not feeling well again, hidung sumbat meragam, semua tak kena. Just finish speaking to my DH, we have to drop by at the Pharmacy at JP to buy karvol for my girl but b4 that nak fetch my princess dulu lah takut sampai rumah lambat and muka my mil mencuka lagi. '

Oh ya malam ni nak kena brace myself for a sleepness night. Ready, get set jgn tido...........

Time!! Di Mana Kah Kau Time!!!

Semua org mengeluh termasuk I, where got time!!! Even when we are given 24 hrs of time pun masih tak cukup. Mcm mana eh, u tengok lah by the time i sampai rumah kul 7 mlm and terus sibuk ngan princess i sorang, normally aft sholat maghrib i will suap her dinner, next in line play time and she will glue to me and kp on saying bu carry, so she will be on my hips all the time. Her bed time is at 9pm and normally she will finally fall asleep around 10 to 10.30. Bila princess i tido baru lah i ada time to do my hsework, what ever it is, my bedtime 12pm kalau dpt tido early tu dah kira bonus lah.

This morning when my youngest sil kol me and ask me about a title of tv show, i question her back when is the last time u see me seating on the sofa and really watching tv , and guess what she got the cheek to laugh, well it is easy for her to laugh cause she dont even have to lift a finger to do all the hse work cause there is a singaporean maid in the hse to do all the stuff, u know who is the maid!! ME LAH. Do i sound llike a sour grape!! hmph i dont think so, it's just releasing of frustration.

Kalau boleh i want to do a lot of things that i like and for now i really really want to start baking very badly tapi bila je i nak start ada je something crop up and my time is taken, mcm mana ni, is my time management real bad?? I dah try my best to juggle my time like for eg dulu i did my ironing once a week and it takes me, min 3 hrs to finish but now i did it 2 or 3 times a week so i tak yah nak buang masa banyak sangat and now instead of washing my toilet very so often i now do it once a week. Dah try to juggle dah tapi kan masih juga mcm tak cukup time gitu lor. So how!! tak pa will try, will try, dont care die, die also will try to bake this weekend, jadi nya sedap atau tidak belakang citer janji try ok.........

Monday Blues? Hell NO!!!!

No monday blues, ari ni rasa nya ok. Sometimes i kena hit juga monday blues when i have to drag my feet to work and nak bangun pagi pun malas. Ari ni kan ibu is on her best behaviour bunyi jam terus bangun and straight to the bathroom tak duduk termenung on the bed and contemplating nak gi keje ke tidak eh or take time off sal nak go back to sleep so boleh bangun lambat, but today no..... ari ni kan ibu discipline sangat2. Since ibu is on her best behaviour and babah pun nak gi site so babah drive me to work so tak yah lah nak rush naik mrt at redhill and sampai office pun awal so sempat juga the two of us have breakfast together. Since i am a little early and my work pun tak lah banyak sangat slalu nya bila phone start ringing and start download email baru lah really tau how's my workload so boleh log in jap and berblogging.

Last weekend dont do anything much. On saturday my DH fetch me from work with all the family in tows so we send my mil & sil alik rumah dulu and aft that follow my DH to OCC to meet up with our goodfriend chuck so he can hit 100 balls (golf) pas tu singgah northpoint cause my princess kp on saying babah toy r us bah its been ages since we've been there and a lot of changes but sayang Toy R Us dah tutup nasib baik lah ada Popular Bookshop so kita singgah sana instead so my princess manage to get her colour pens, stickers and strawberry shortcake dvd.

Hah ni yang buat i pening, u all must have already known that my girl is into strawberry shortcake kan so since sat we bought the dvd i dah watch the dvd sampai 5 kali!!! sampai kan lagu2 dia dah hafal. Ai terpaksa kan apa nak buat sayang anak nak tak nak tengok je lah, i pernah bilang to my DH, skg kan kalau org tanya what is yr favourite movie, it will be Little Bear and now Strawberry Shortcake.............

WORK!! URGH!!!!

Its saturday and i am at work now, sucks how i wish i am at home abiskan keje rumah pas tu boleh merayap ngan my princess. Actually kan its a waste of time bila i do my saturday duty, i buat keje kejap je pas tu i buat benda merepek or i spent my time surfing looking for new recipes yang i boleh try, bukan tak ada keje, ada but my brain dah switch off lah. Bila try buat keje my mind tak leh focus, pas tu temenong kejap and stare into space (dah mcm org gila pulak) and then tell myself aiyah what the hell do on monday lah. Anyway keje mana boleh abis sentiasa ada je. Alamak kalau lah boss i tau abislah matilah i, untuk kawan sepejabat i (u know who u are) please eh, jgn nak report to tuan besar tau, kalau u did, siap u, i kerjakan.

My DH is at home now with my little princess, bila i have to work on saturday i dont have to worry abt my girl sebab my DH is independent and dia boleh uruskan anak so i tak yah lah nak bangun early as usual untuk mandikan and siapkan anak i. Hmph wondering what my DH have plan for our weekend outing with Audrey?????

Kritikan Membina

Ok smlm my gd friend did comment that my blog is too wordy, dia baca sampai mata dia cemeh or kero agaknya:

Lilie : mi, u shd put more pictures and if u want to write abt a conversation buat mcm i punya.

Me : well that is the problem i dont hv my own camera and if i use my DH camera i hv to bug him to download for me and that is why i am pestering my DH to buy me 1 for my personal use.

Well in my very 1st post i did mention that i am not an it savy person, i create this blog pun on my own step by step main hentam je so i need some comments to let me know if it is ok and aft smlm nya comment i did some editing tak banyak tapi ok lah buat sementara ini, i am still learning.

Ok back to home front, smlm i balik lambat, i sampai rumah almost 7.30 bukan nya i sengaja but my DH needs to buy florescent buld for my girl nya playroom cum my DH nya work room sampai je rumah, my fil and daughter dah kak depan pintu:

Fil : anak kau mengamok tak nak masuk jadi abah layan dia duduk kak luar tunggu korang balik.

I did not answer him just pick my girl and bring her in, muka my mil jgn ckp lah dah masam gila agak nya dia dah nak menjerit kak i but because i am daughter in law dia buat bodoh je and i know that she is very angry so i did not leave my girl out of my sight.

Me : D u gi mandi & sholat dulu pas tu i nya turn

Mil : Anak kau blum makan suap dulu nanti lapar (dengar suara meningi)

I buat bodoh je lah, nak explain pun tak guna kan bukan nya my mil will except my explanation. Aft my sholat i suap anak i kak luar rumah cause my mil ngah tengok her favourite sinetron so i tak nak anak i buat bising and disturb her. Perut i sebenarnya lapar but because of my mil nya attitude selera nak makan terus tertutup, tak jadi nak makan. I bukan nya lambat sangat cuma abt 1/2 late je slalu nya if both my DH and I kalau nak stop by somewhere to get something we will balik dulu and fetch anak I but smlm my DH say dont need as we go pun kejap je, itu pun nak marah ke, i tau lah anak i very lah the active but salah dia juga terlalu manjakan anak i sangat so skg dah tak leh handle nak lepaskan geram kak i pulak.

Audrey's Tantrum

When i came home yesterday I ask my girl how are you and she say ok bu, so i told her that tomorrow she has to go to school but she insist that no school so i pujuk dia lagi u have to go to school so u can play with yr friends and she finally say ok ibu send. So being a softie mum i say ok ibu send. My mil pun agree that i send her to school this morning takut nanti anak i buat pael lagi muntah abis panic lagi my mil. My girl was on her best behaviour again this morning, tak grumpy or showing tantrum and sempat melepas dulu b4 i send her to school. My princess cuma merengek sikit2 je while i was walking her to school and when she saw her friend terus je dia nak carry her school initially i yg carry and i kp on reminding her that ibu going to work aft this, nyai will fetch u from school and she say ok bu, she can wave goodbye to me so i was shock when my mil kol me tadi abt 11.10 and she say anak i tak nak ikut my mil balik she kp on pushing nyai dia until the teacher have to tell her that audrey u have to follow yr grandmother home and sampai rumah anak i show her tantrum i want ibu, i want ibu so terpaksa lah my mil kol me and anak i was wailing away and i have to talk to her softly and pujuk punya pujuk that i am at work and i will see her tonight, baru lah anak i settle down and my mil is able to change and suap dia. Bila i kol agn abt 12+ my mil says dia masih mengamok juga but tak teruk sangat lah and just finish talking to her teacher and she told me that she was shock to see that anak i don't want to follow her grandmother so she advice me not to send my girl to school at the moment let my mil yg send so as to adjust back her normal schedule. Hai sedih nya hati i, how i wish i am a stay home mum tapi tak apa lah i kerja ni pun untuk anak i, i give myself 5 more year to go, InsyaAllah bila anak i dah start her primary education baru lah i quit so that i would be able to give her my full attention.

Tak Skolah Lagi

This morning i bangun lambat, sadar je alamak kul 7.10am sal smlm tido lambat sampai terlepas sholat subuh, ya Allah terus terjun fm bed and lincah to get everything ready and nasib baik ari ni my princess on her best behaviour tak nangis or show tantrum cuma she wants her babah to dress her up. I manage to leave home at abt 8.10am alah sure lambat lah masuk opis but lucky thing my DH has to go to site so he drive me to work so just nice sampai opis 8.50, phew tak lambat. Tengah sedah minum my tea and having my fish fillet bread my mil kol, anak kau muntah 2 kali abis nak antar gi skolah tak, lah what happen this morning she was ok and now dah muntah2. Hai tak sedap hati i, nak mkn pun dah tak selera, so i kol my DH to standby just in case kalau princess i muntah lagi we will rush home and bring her to see wak kesayangan dia, Dr Lee, her PD.

At 10am tadi i kol my mil and ask how's my princess doing and she say ok dah tak muntah, baru abis minum susu and she looks ok, hai sedap sikit hati baru boleh concentrate on my work kalau tidak hati ni tak tenteram, maklum lah anak i sorang je so very lah the precious. So ari ni my daughter dont go to school again and she kol me just now at 11.00 and she say ibu today no school and tomorrow no school, lah budak ni dah sedap pulak duduk kak rumah, so i pujuk anak i besok she have to go to school cause i bought her a new strawberry shortcake bag for her to carry to school and she has to make payment for the barney magazine that she wants baru lah anak i say ok ibu.

Hai cepat sangat anak i besar, it seems baru smlm i had her and now dah gi skolah, wonder where the time flies

Mother's Day

Once a year we celebrate THE day to pay our tribute to our moms, for their never ending shower of love towards us. As for me dah 5 tahun i celebrate mother's day without my mom, kalau arwah mak i masih ada we (my family) will berkumpul at rumah my sis and i will jadi the chief cook and masak according to the menu set my by my mom and riuh lah rumah my sis and at that time i blum lagi dikurniakan princess i. Sedih lah sangat2 bila kenangkan arwah mak i tak dpt nak jumpa my princess I, how i wish that my mom will be able to see how cute her youngest cucu is now especially skg dah pandai ckp, tak tau diam, radia on terus and will only switch off bila dia tido.

Saturday is a family day for us, its means my DH, my princess and I. 1st stop at East Coast beach dah 1 minggu my baby been bugging us to go to the beach to make sand castle she will say bu go to beach and play sand make sand. So finally she got her wish. Tadaa..... i layangkan gambar anak i playing with the sand.



Cute kan, i let her play abt 1 1/2 hr itu pun susah nak get her to stop when i ask are u done baby, not yet wait. Nak tak nak I angkat and dokong nasib baik lah anak i tak melalak cause i make her stop playing cause ramai juga org at the beach last Saturday.

2nd stop, Swensen at Parkway. The reason we end up at Swensen is because princess i sorang ni dah mintak babah shortcake ice-cream bah, it means she wants strawberry ice-cream. Now bila anak i nampak je any food product that ada gambar strawberry she will say shortcake, she associate it with the cartoon strawberry shortcake. She is in to strawberry shortcake now, dari school bag dia tu ke water bottel even baju pun she will insist to put her strawberry shortcake t-shirt and jeans, she would want everything with strawberry flavour and ada gambar strawberry. Actually we wanted to go somewhere else for mamam but since anak i dah bug her babah for strawberry ice-cream so we end up at Swensen my DH says senang lah everthing is under one roof so kita tak payah go to one place for food and go to another place for ice-cream. I order pasta, my DH order his all time favourite pizza, pepperoni and cheese as for my princess fries and chicken and not forgetting her shortcake ice-cream:



You see, princess i sorang ni betul nya enjoy her ice-cream kan. Aft that straight home, itu pun sampai rumah abt 5+ just nice for me to do my usual duty and that is ironing, this is my weekend nya keje yg mesti nya kena buat, usually i will do my ironing mlm and since both my DH and my inlaws ada tu layan anak I so i decide that i want to do the ironing early so i tak yah lah sengkang mata i sampai kul 1 or 2 pagi to finish my ironing. Phew yo punya lah banyak baju yang nak kena gosok, usually i will do ironing 2 or 3 times a week bila anak i dah tido i will do both my DH and my clothes and weekends my in laws but last week i was down so the whole week i tak gosok so u can imagine betapa menimbun nya baju2 I, sigh, nak tak nak kena buat juga but Allhamdullilah by 9 semua dah beres, slamat! So mlm boleh lah i enjoy watching tv.

On Sunday lepas sholat subuh i sambung my beauty sleep and since mlm semalam anak i tido pun lambat sure punya dia pun bangun lambat, rasa nya mcm baru lelap anak i dah wake me up bu go and bath i tengok jam dah kul 9, i told her ok darling let ibu rest for awhile k, i sumbat puting kak mulut dia and lelapkan mata lagi, then 10min later, she goes bu wet bu alamak anak i nya diapers dah totally wet and now dah seep thru apalagi i terus bangun and i get my DH to take hot water for me so i boleh mandi kan anak I, nasib baik lah my DH ni boleh harap, i get him to wipe the mattress and change the bed sheet for me 1st bila i abis mandikan anak i baru lah i made the bed but my DH not only change the bed sheet but siap ngan kemas skali while i mandi kan anak i, phew slamat my DH tolong I. Aft i got my girl ready i ask her to wake her nyai up so we can bring her out for breakfast. Otak buntu tak tau mana nak bring my mother in law for breakfast cause my mother in law tak tau mkn western food and kalau nak bring her to Indonesian restaurant blum buka lagi cause my DH kena keje so time is limited, we end up having breakfast at Adam Rd and go jln2 at Bugis. By 2 dah sampai rumah. Our dinner yesterday night simple je sayur kobis,ayam goreng and telur asin, tak larat i nak masak yg complicated dah penat. Ok mother's day weekend dah over and this year is the 3rd year i celebrate mother's day and I am feeling contented and very happy to have spent quality time with my family even though i tak receive present from my DH for mother's day but i got the biggest present of all and that is my Princess and my greatest wish for my princess is to be healthy and happy with everything that she does, ibu and babah will support and be there for her foever and ever...........Amin..............

Aduh Sakit

Back to the office, sigh dah lah baru baik sakit tengok keje belambak atas meja sakit dtg balik. Oi i tak curi tulang eh, masa i berblogging ni pun half of my workload dah done so nak rest kan otak i jap. Last tuesday was down with bad flu and my boss boleh buat lawak pulak dia tanya i wah u got H1N1, kelakar ke pe, i just smile and answer yah i think i want to check myself in the quarintine chalet for 1 week. Bodoh nya boss, i pun dont know why suddenly my flu got really bad. In the morning tu tak sangat but immediately aft lunch abis i've been sneezing non stop and hidung i ni cam paip bocor, meleleh non stop, hidung sampai merah. Nasib baik lah my DH fetch me from office terus gi clinic and i diisytiharkan sakit and dpt 2 hari mc. Hai nama je dpt 2 hari mc to rest but i think in future i nak mintak 2 kind of mc, 1 untuk office and 1 lagi untuk rumah to submit to my mil to inform her that i need rest. Nasib baik lah my DH is a hands on father, he's able to feed, bath and look aft princess i sorang so on tuesday tu balik from clinic i took my dinner then terus baring atas katil dah tak leh handle, my DH lah yg layan anak, siap kan susu, wash her up and gave my girl her night feeding, i dah kira gone case makan obat, terus switch off, bomb meletup kesebelah agaknya pun tak sadar. Besok nya ingat nak bangun lambat but unfortunately tak leh, anak i nak gi skolah and my DH keje so bangun abt 7am but lepas je send my girl to school i told my mil that i want to sleep i am so drowsy nasib baik lah she understand sikit. The 2 days when i am at home i dont really got the chance to really rest, dpt juga abt 2 hours nap when anak i tido i pun sekaki but bila part masak its still me. My mil dah sedap bila i kak rumah i yg masak so even i ngah sakit pun still kena masuk dapur, apa nak buat kalau tak masak nak makan apa kan and tak kan i perintah my mil masak pulak, mak masak org sakit nak rest, alahai kalau i tak kena sumpah abis sure cold war so just do it, anyway masak bukan susah sangat bedal je lah. But my fil sempat pulak beli ikan duri smlm suruh i masak asam pedas, hai bah tak kasi chance menantu u sorang ni rest ke! but hapi juga bila my fil says that kau masak asam pedas power, abah suka sedap, rasa penat hilang jap. This weekend is mother's day, buat masa ni no plan yet but tomorrow definitely will bring princess i sorang to the beach cause she's been bugging me to make sand castle but sunday blum tau lagi and when i ask my DH what is he going to cook for me this sunday cause i nak rest, ada ke dia boleh tanya anak i, audrey what are we going to cook? anak i jawab senang je egg. So in conclusion my DH says kalau u nak i masak ok i no hal but masak follow my menu nasi, telur dadar and kicap dah. Pegi dah kalau gitu i tutup mata pun boleh buat, i think kan nak tak nak i terpaksa juga turun padang masak..............

Hai Pening

Smlm my DH mc due to his fever & flu so since dia kak rumah anak I cling maut ngan dia she kp on saying no nyai & yayi. My hubby yg send and fetch her fm school. My DH inf me that anak i melalak when he left her at school, initially she was ok then bila aja dah masuk klas radio dia terus on, melalak, babah tak layan terus angkat kaki jln. When he fetch her from school the teacher did mention that she was crying the whole 2 hours. I was thinking that maybe because of my DH at home so she takut babah will go out without her that is why lah she nangis. So i kp on telling her yesterday night that her nyai will sent her to school tomorrow and she say ok ibu so i thought it will be ok and this morning she was on her good behaviour, she did not cry when i wake her up for bath and she did not cry when both my DH and I left for work but my mil kol me up at 9.15 mengamok and tell me that anak i nangis tak nak gi skolah and she wants me to call her teacher and tell the teacher lain kali jgn suruh anak kau duduk rumah kalau anak kau tak sakit, mak susah tau. Lah dah apa kena ngan org tua ni dah memang anak i ada flu tak kan nak send her to school, sigh, susah betul lah, so i call up the teacher just now and she pun wondering why anak i nangis and our conclusion is that maybe i have spent a lot of time with her the whole week and no nyai and yayi at all so manja dah terlebih sikit unlike during the 1 wk school holiday, both babah and ibu keje and she spent 1 whole week with nyai so bila back to school anak i was excited. Anyway anak i nangis kejap je, after my mil left her and her teacher dokong dia she is back to normal playing with her friends and singing and dancing. So ok lah kan but yang i pening kan ni my mil explain to her pun she refuse to understand. Mcm mana lah nak terangkan to mil jgn over react, cuba amik bertenang susahkan.................

Long Weekend

What did i do this long weekend, hmph let me think tak banyak activities sangat. I think kan my blog is one of the boring blog cause so far i tak post any pics at all its only celoteh i je sebab i am not an IT savy person so yg slalu petik gambar is my DH and kalau nak tunggu dia download gambar yg dia petik oi kekadang tu boleh gaduh dia kata tengok mood so i think i nak kecek my DH lah to buy me a digital camera i sendiri yg murah2 je for my own personal use and btw mother's day just around the corner kan so why not!

Ok enough explaining last Friday was a fun filled day cause we had an amazing race with my family. We start of at 2.30pm sebab nak lepaskan sholat jumaat. But b4 i join my family for a fun day i siap kan masak dulu for my inlaws, menantu mithali lah katakan che ba, i betul pening tak tau apa nak masak sebab my inlaws ni suka sangat makan ayam, so i berenang-renang lah (surf web) nak cari idea apa nak masak and i found this recipe at one of my favourite blog tiffinbiru or shall i say mat gebu, its simple and the ingredients are all available in the fridge tak yah nak sibuk2 nak gi pasar beli bahan2 so here goes i tampalkan the recipe yg i petik from his blog, thank you abg mat for the inspiration:



BAHAN UTAMA :-)
1 ekor ayam anggaran 1.2 kg, potong 12 atau 16
2 keping asam gelugor
2 camca besar kerisik (i tak gunakan sebab tak ada stok @ home)
1 camca besar gula melaka
1300 ml santan
3 camca besar cili kisar
3 helai daun kunyit, dimayang halus
Garam secukup rasa

BAHAN KISAR HALUS :-)
1/3 cawan cili padi
8 batang serai, dihiris halus
3 biji buah keras
1 1/2 inci halia
1 inci lengkuas
1 inci kunyit hidup
10 biji bawang merah
4 ulas bawang putih
1/2 camca teh lada hitam biji
2 camca besar rempah kari daging

BAHAN TUMIS :-)
4 biji bawang merah, hiris halus
2 ulas bawang putih, hiris halus
1 batang kayu manis
1 kuntum bunga lawang
3 kuntum bunga cengkih
3 biji pelaga

CARA MEMBUATNYA :-)

Ayam dicuci bersih dan toskan. Panaskan minyak dalam kuali, tumis bahan tumis hingga harum, masukkan bahan2 kisar bersama cili kisar. Masak dengan api sederhana hingga terbit minyak. Masukkan ayam dan masak hingga ayam kecut.
Tuang santan dan biar mendidih, masukkan garam, asam gelugor dan juga kerisik, masak dengan api sederhana sehingga hampir kering. Masukkan gula melaka dan hirisan daun kunyit.

Masak dengan api kecil sehingga rendang kering. Bergantung pada individu, jika mahu rendang basah, boleh matikan api dan jika suka kering, masak lagi hingga kering. Kacau selalu dengan berhati2 untuk mengelakkan rendang hangus.

Amacam senang kan resipi nya and tak banyak belanja. Phew lepas je masak i dah sibuk nak siap2 untuk kluar, penat juga rasa nya masih ada extra energy ke for the amazing race, apa tak ye dari pagi i bangun tido enjin i jalan terus, kemas rumah, mandikan anak, siapkan sarapan pas tu masak and not forgetting kemas dapur but surprisingly jumpa je my family and dengar riuh rendah mereka penat i semua hilang and semangat untuk bermain amazing race wow gerek gitu. Our 1st pit stop was at Esplanade and it ends at West Coast Park and my anak buah dah siap beli makan for our dinner. It was fun and kelakar banget when we all sit down together sambil makan and tell each other funny stories what we encounter during the race. It was definitely the most fun activity that we had ever had. It was really fun for me cause i got to see my princess sorang hapi sangat2 berlari2 ikut i to get to each pit stop, she will say ibu walk dia tak nak i dokong and not forgetting our car tyre meletup sal my DH hit a ramp and gedebosh abis tak leh nak save the tyre and also my DH was down with flu and fever, jangkit anak I. In conclusion despite the tyre meletup and my DH sakit it was a fun day for us. As for Sat & Sun duduk rumah day sal babah sakit so tak leh nak kemana-mana except on sat kluar dinner jap sal dah janji my mil nak bring her out for dinner with my sil and her hubby so we had dinner at warung lele aft that straight home no more pit stop or outing until this weekend.
