Faces of Sofea

The girl who will be turning 1 soon.

Which is your favourite Sofea Face..ahahah

::My World:: The Blur Act is Irritating ::

..The Shop had one helper who started only 2 weeks ago. I thought he would be the relief of my early days at the shop. So i was happy.But my husband always came back with 'not-so-nice' remarks about this new guy. He said i should see for myself. Claimed to be a student of one of Malaysia's Prestige University which offered very high end courses (mahal la course tu).

Okay so i went on Friday cause, its the day where the Muslim men go for their Jumaat Prayers and i will be left alone to patronise the shop. No customers during the hour. I spend time chasing after Sofea and Sarah. Hah penatnya. After an hour they came back!!!...Then i had time to do my own things.I watched him. Quiet, to himself je. Okay la..when he serve customers, i seem to find him okay. A bit reluctant to speak english and x paham sangat! aik x kan x paham, the 'U' u are in kan english medium, so kalau u x paham how did u study??..My husband ask him ' dont you understand simple English or you acting out?'...he look blur.. Hello kalau u nak buat blur pun not at work la....

Okay at the end of the day...closing,hmmm..Short of cash. The cash register showed amount of A, the cash in hand amount of B and the written log amount of C. Toing!! How am i suppose to balance this out.3 different amount. I waited untill Husband came up form down shop and said,' i check all, like you ask me. X balance.' I ask him

Me:: Ada Salah punch ke?
Him:: a'ah ada tadi 25 sen.
Me:: Asal x cakap, tahu x kena cakap?
Him:: OUh x tahu?
Me:: Wan and Mike x ajar ke?
Him:: * geleng muka blur * (rasa cam bengang je aku hai).
Me:: ada ni x punch kenapa??.
Him:: *MUka blur lagi*...

Last, i ask my husband je la check before i loose my grip on this guy.We had a few buck short. A medium amount tapi still. Tapi bila tanya dia, x tahu? semua x tahu? Banyak x punch in! Salah Punch! and he keeps on telling me no one ajar. Dah 2 minggu okay. I ask Wan, he said he dah cakap and ajar. Of course la i trust him cause he dah lama work. He acted blur

My thinking:: He took the money and act blur. Since its my 1st time at the shop, he thought he can act it out. Maybe made it as if i took some cash for use and i forgot. hello...no sign of open registry when i was at the shop alone. Tapi bila me and husband out from shop ade open registry without sale. WHY?Kalau u say i nak set up up. Mak ai for what.. i LAGI NEED you to be at the shop than to set u up and get u fired. Or maybe dia salah pulang baki since he admitted to us he is weak in Math? aik...tapiwe got calculator... the blur act really got on my Husbands nerve and mine. He thought then maybe some kind of old fashion dunno anything was running the shop. Hello u said u belajar IT how come when i ask you to do partition pun u x tahu? Salah percaturan kah??

I dunno yesterday, my husband said was his last day. Sorry la mizA..you just not fitting in. We need someone we can trust. Maybe you did not take the money but due to your sala kira, salah punch, blur sotong, susah pulak nak trust...its not dont like you, as a friend always welcome as colleagues, x boleh la bro!!..

::My World:: One leg Injured::

.Sunday most families are at home, cleaning and relaxing of maybe going out for a drive somewhere. Us we had that yesterday. Saturday!!..I, mi Esposo, Mis Hijas spring clean mi casa. Not really spring la here in Malaysia pun. More like winter cause Rain +Cold.

Sun was up so i washed like i never washed before (the expression of washing so much clothes). Before this rain heavily everyday. Like someone was crying so hard after a heart break (waa..bermadah la pulak) . Now it stopped for a while giving us time to dry out some things...So i sunned out the wet, mi husband will carry once dry. My zone was inside and his was outside. He was drying out the funiture he made for the KL shop which was wet and also we started to get 'signs' of a new family of C moving in the area..(neighbour sebelah caught one + we saw his dumps near the woodstack in the porch).

My daughters? all over the place making it more work for us to do. So i pulled the Vacuum cleaner out. Ahaha pipa is terified of the Vacuum. So she sat quiet watching Disney and Sarah also dari tadi memang dah glued to TV. When i was cleaning the bathroom then my girls moved in to my bedroom cause they can watch they dad from my window. They were watching him because....my neighbours 2 sons (nabil and luqman) were outside talking to Idris. Ahaha gatal la pulak..tapi bagus..dia intai je dari window..

Tengah syok scrub the floor i wanted to get up and reach for the bucket when i fell. My leg ntah la x tahu camana nak explain. terlipat sebelah and one stretch out. Ouch okay tapi thought ala dah la not sakit sangat. My daughters laughed and told my husband..he look on and continued with work. Tapi effect dia is after all work done. Dah mandi nak rest..then alamak!! it ache so bad. I slept the rest of the afternoon with the girls and when i bangun.Mak ai..i couldnt bent my leg. Alamak kalau straight xleh bend kalau bend x leh straight. Walking like a stick..susah gila..Malam tu i ask my husband to urut. tapi dia x berani. Wish my brother would be back from work early esok. Wanna ask him urut cause he is good at it.

So here i blog, me with one leg injured!!

BTW: watched Terengganu against N9 last nite. Was rooting for Terengganu so did most of us at home except my dad who wanted to be on N9's team.Okay la but then we (T'gnu) lost 2-1..well its a game. My dad pulak all the while complaining game x best. Lagi best tengok EPL. Hello Pa! Of course la..EPL dorang main...x bosannye tengok.So he kept on switching to EPL and back forth.Me and my BIL cam..aik...okay change..tengah syok tengok EPL my dad change balik... Tapi malaysia cup ni, alahai dorang play mmg jauh la beza. Kalau We menang againts any EPL club, pple will think ' Ala EPL Club bagi chance je Malaysia menang'. Or are we that talented bila againts EPL clubs but when we play among fellow compadre we jadi cam pemain kampung? Ntahla..but overall..i only enjoy football when its worldcup season...Sorry la Malaysia Cup ke, EPL cup ke apa cup ke x join sangat..only World Cup!!!..

Tengok bola semalam sampai ade injure kepala semua..and i with my injured leg!!.

::Family o'Mine:: Mia's Angels::

Watching my 2 girls grow....Sob SOb!! Mommy emo tau masa buat blog ni..dah besar nnti you all tengok biar you all lak emo..ahahahhaha

::World of Mine:: What is it in a Word::

Apa ce....No dont Say it. Hantu Bonceng should be Tapis again. First of all, its raining since morning. So cold feels like ice. Warm inside the house...best feeling ever...tapi hati ku Gundah...

Have you ever watch the Movie Hantu Bonceng. A malay movie..Well some sort of Tagline la kan-APA CELUP-..this movie rata rata small kids suka tengok berkali. So they hang on to every dialog.

Kalau kita alih bahasakan Apa Celup to English- Sama makna dengan Whats dipping? What is dipping? dipping apa?? ah pelik kan. SO makna dipping in English is to pun something into liquid. Samala definasi kamus dewan tentang celup..but dalam konteks movie di atas..apa celup is..Wat'D' F*k !! Bahasa mat mat rempit ni..hoh..spoil bahasa kan!! Sila refer --->Apa Celup meaning. I like what the blogger said..cause i just tahu wujudnya maksud perkataan ini...

1st time i heard this i thought it maybe like. WHats up? Whats going on? Apa kisah like dat...who the hell knows it meant something else. My 3 year old like to watch this movie..bukan sebab Zizan ke apa okay. She likes citer yang ada elemen elemen hantu la konon. So she ask me-'Apa celup tu apa'..i gave her the defination i thougt it was. X google sebab masa dia tanya tu i was busy cleaning..

Today i had a chat with my close friend. So she said' hey' and i said ' hey..apa celup' meaning for me is Apa cerita? she said ' ey lucahnye'..and i said 'Y?'. So she explain to me and ask me to google. Thank god for close friends, ahaha i laugh but then felt anoyed cause my Yaya was using the word. Hish..so did my sister. You see some of us are not familiar with the mat rempits slanga and style. how the hell should we know that it meant-What'D'F*K. Haish....salah ke menjadi someone yang follow by the book. So kalau by the book maksud dia xdela cam lucah, tapi if i ikut style mat rempit ni maka salah la maksudnya dan sama la aku menyokong merosakkan bahasa. Huh i dun get it. I also told my the other friend. Cause we were' ape celup ape celuping' each other (imagine that...sounds like an orgy..iyekksss)...

well u say,'siapa suruh bagi budak tengok'. You say no, but you have the advertisement on Tv during prime hours, banners, and lots more. Xkan budak kecik x tengok TV. Takkan mak and ayah dia asyik nak tengok channel cartoon network je.Its just not nice. You say merealisasikan citer tu dengan budaya mat rempit sebenar...hoih you should check them than en couraging of letting the whole world know. Apa celup la kan rite (now i mean it)....actually bukan salah cerita tu or TV tu but for me it feels like ia menggallakkan pengunaan bahasa yang salah for kids pada peringkat awal ni.Not kids je..anyone...Cewahh dah cam pakar lak aku kan. And also, it feels like we support the wrong usage of language. It is my fault jugak la x check it out but like i said...who the hell would have guess. So those yang ada kids..we are like an open book of dictionary yang selalu kena update with everything. It feels like school again.

::Family o'Mine:: Sarah-its not always black and white, sometimes its pink!-

.Sometimes its stressful. Sarah is at the age she will menjawab balik semua benda kalau boleh. And she gets hurt if u say the wrong thing. Like yesterday i was so tired and mad. Sofea was making a wreck at home spilling water from a cup my sister left at the table and she pulak x habis complain bout the computer at my moms house slow. She bebel and bebel i cant make out dah apa dia cakap. Husband call pulak ask me to see to something else. Semua benda nak kena buat instantly. So i just said,'ah pening la kepala i macam ni'. She felt hurt. She ask me ' why you cakap macam tu mother. Janganla cakap macam tu'. I hug her..bergenang air mata dia kesian pulak. Salah i, x sabar sangat.

But then how u explain. Playing snake and ladders, she wants to choose her numbers she x nak throw the dice.She ask you why must play like that.just play biasa biasa dah..what is play biasa biasa Sarah??? What do you expect a 3 year old. I teach her how to play the right way,she can only follow the rules for 2 minutes. I gave her to play online toddler games and when she dont like how the games goes she ask me to change it. I was dumbfound..camana nak tukar..yesla Sarah mother kena jadi programmer.When you explain to her something,she ask you WHY it has to be that way? Mind challenging kan..but also bagusla..i have to do research and automatically i learn simple petty things that i took for granted all this while.

I guess Sarah still thinks simple wherelese kita dah grown up ni, we are trapped in the real world..We see things black and white while she sees it colourful. Thats why she ask me, why must play like this, xboleh ke play like biasa biasa je or like something else. Then i remember when i was small, me and my sister use to make up ways of playing snake and ladders. We had fun and my mom will laugh. We also did give mom this headache.Sampai mommy will say, malas la nak play with you, mommy x tahu how to play.Cause the rules were not rules were just make up rules as we go along and me and my sis just agreed to each other..ahahaha.I miss childhood. Thanks Sarah for bringing me back to times when everything is not only black and white, there is always a pink or a blue somewhere.

She always fight with me and go againts what i say. What i say she never agrees tapi if her Papa say the exact same thing, He is right. She hates me, she says it whenever i say No to something she wants to do. But i guess that is part of parenting. She doesnt mean it. She is just angry cause later she will come laugh and play and hug me like usual.But i dont want this attitude to prolong. She complains about everything, nothing ever suits her if i do it for her. Maybe she is rebelling against my attention for Sofea who is a clown. She is funny.It makes me sad, and at nite i kiss her and tell her i love her. I once read a quote from someone famous..quoted back by my friend. ' if you child has not said they hate you once, then you have not been a good parent'. Cause sometimes the reason we are hated is because we dont allow them to do things that prohibited or wrong. Its a process of teaching them what right and wrong. If i let her learn it her way..she wont know if its right or wrong cause she never done it before.....when they are thought well then we let them try and experiment. Aku dah merepek.Emo sarah just said she hated me cause i couldnt change the way the game on the internet goes...Sad  =(...maybe one day she will understand.

::Family o'Mine:: Sofea's turning to 1 soon::

About my Pippa aka Sofea Hannah. She is going to be 1 year old next Thursday. How time flies.So fast, when Sarah Daania was born i felt time flew fast. Now it seems like fast x4.About Sofea Hannah that you dont know now at this age, 11 months.

She bites when she is bathed.Reason she hates water and baths. She bites to make you stop showering her with water. That wont work with Mummy yayang...try again. Gigi belum tajam sangat. Almost la. She started walking at the age of 11 months and 2 days and since have been giving me extra exercise-chasing her up and down.  She is very 'Manja'. She likes to lie down together and bermalasan in the morning. If she sees you watching TV she will come and kiss you and sit in your lap. Not afraid of anything. Sarah dulu if we say 'Ala got momok' to make her sleep, she will. This girl you tell her that, she look at you as if asking..Where??..Huh..she's cheeky and follows everything her sister do. She loves Yaya and copy cat everything. Now Yaya likes to wail and shout. She will too. 2 high pitch girls in the house makes dad head bald.

Sofea likes to eat chicken. She eats vege to. She eats almost anything. If she does not like what you are feeding her, she will push your hand away when you try to feed her. If she likes what you are eating, She will come running to you Nak Nak Nak!!..Can be lured by food. Pantang nampak oranh with food dia ikut. Bukan apa, she wants to try everything there is to eat. Sebab tu she ask. Bukan sebab dia kuat makan.She is attached to her Father more than Me. Her favourite thingy is to play with her ear lobes and she will be in a trance.

The best thing about Pippa, she is mine!!!...

::World of Mine:: Day II...3 and so...::

Day 2, hehehe...stayed at HOME. ZM had to rush back cause her dad nak pakai kereta and she has some of her own errands. So, I, my Sis and BIL with the help o2 little Helpers yang x helping langsung (Yaya & Pippa) spring cleaned my sisters back room. wanted to turn it into a proper room as it was used as a store room previously.

FYI, Zura stays in this double storey house she rented years ago. Before she got married. It has 4 big rooms and 3 bathrooms. I malas sangat nak naik turun tangga. Before i move to my own place, use to stay at Semabok Perdana double storey. Ya ALLAH i feel like bringing my bed down and put depan TV je. Dah la masa tu preggie. Memang x suka double storey.Biar besar tapi satu floor.SO i coaxed Zura and BIL tu turn the down room to a proper room and store room upstairs. REASON:: Senang lor, bawah dapur dekat, tv dekat semua dekat.

After cleaning the room to its best. Put up curtains, bring down the single bed, bentang carpet, put up lamps..WALLA comfy and nice. Letak satu bean bag and satu recliner..sudah..siap!! senang aku x payah turun naik. Then later went to Giant with Sis. Had Subway. Bayangkan from pagi tu sebab too kusyuk kemas...we did not have lunch. Zura bought things, She was hosting some makan makan with her college friends. MEanwhile my friends were hosting for me..ahahahah..so around 7pm Zura's friends arrive as i and ZM headed to NENEKS house..yeay AYAM MASAK MERAH OSUM!!!....

Before reaching, tersesat sesat cari rumah nenek.I have been there once tapi cam confident sangat kan. Had hell of yelling and snorts from ZM. ahahah sorry eh ko bengang lagi ke. best apa sesat sesat. She was the one driving..ahaha tapi that is my friends..when we go in pairs..always one of us will screw up the other one. Had great food. Thanks Halily & Bali. Ketawa tengok Masterchef Malaysia. Rasa cam Poyo tapi nnti mungkin will get the Hang of it. I bet Nenek could do it better.Then we headed to Ana's house in Cheras...for supper. Love her teh o..wanted to play with her son SQQ but i guess we greeted him wrongly. Alamak si handsome tu menangis. My daughters pun satu, terjah dia cam OOoOoOoO..mana la hero sorang tu x nangis. Syed, ana's husband is a friend of my husband. So we are bonded by both ways. husband and wife..eheheh..well all of our friends are..then around 12pm we headed home. Wished i could stay longer. Wish i could see more of them.

On the way home..both of my princesses dah knock out. They played with Delyssa's toys at neneks. not with Delyssa but her toys only. ceit..and same happen at Ana's...cam monster kot dorang ni...sampai Delyssa and SQQ pun malu. But Delyssa did try to play along.Yaya remembers Delyssa the most and she was so fond of her.

DAY 3

Actually nak pergi Jalan TAR and somewhere town cause lil miss Sanguine ni likes a pair of Lengga. Nak deepavali kan. Last yer i got her one. This year when she saw the parade of baju on the way to Dataran she cam nak. I like them to dress up with any type of traditional wear. So ZM wanted to take her downtown tapi i also dunno how it ended at IKEA...

We had the famous Meatball and Daim Cake (I am so inlove with this cake...just so so so). Then the kids has time looking at plush toys.Then they had time looking at other kiddy things theres which Yaya suddenly announce she needed new bedsheets and curtains for her room. Sedangkan dia xde window dalam her room. Tsk!~~Later playes sekejap kat Ikea and then headed to Curve. They were having the Kolum competition and it was a big '1 Malaysia' Kolum. Cantik Bangat deh!~~ Sofea tried to get near the big one. X heran pandang yang mini mini kolums tepi tu. Dia aim for the big one. How many time i had to chase her and dukung dia. Bila dukung x nak. Imagining myself with 'The baby who destroyed the 1 malaysia kolum at the curve'. Tsk!!! Imagining things again~~~.

Then we headed to Jalan Ampang, to Menara Great Eastern. Zura picked up her car and we had a brief stop at KLCC. Then we headed home tired but hungry. Thought of cooking tapi sampai rumah dah x larat so we Makan kat Maria Tom Yam dekat rumah Zura. Sedap and reasonable..ahahaha..then home and really sleepy so we shut eyes. Everyone is working tomorrow except for Azwan. He will be sending me early in the morning after Zura goes to work.ZM will be out by 7am.

DE CUATRO DIAS..means Day 4


Bangun pagi, gosok gigi, pergi mandi, kemas baju, kemas rumah terus pergi. Ahaha that simple..(cam makin pendek kan blog ni) ahahah..well Woke up and ready to balik. Mula rasa malas,EN hubby will be back malam ni. he did ask me to wait tapi the next day he will be busy and i did promise my mom i will be back by Monday. So we took the bus back.

Sampai TBS, we bought tickets. Lama x naik Trans sebab sebelum ni Trans service dia -4 and the seats on the bus -7.But since now i see banyak bus dia okay okay, we decided to try.I ask the girl, is this a 3 seater bus. She said, yeah ada 3 seater.I assumer it was..rupanya..it was a mix of 4 seater and 3..the front rows were all 4 seaters and the back rows were all single seaters. how anoying. That was not what i meant when i ask, ' bas ni 3 seater ke kak?'..i did not ask,' Bus ni ade 3 seater ke kak?'. urgh..xpela..dah le pack pulak bus. Ramai pulak nak g Melaka monday Morning. KL was hot...but sampai Melaka je..the weather was heavenly.My mom picked us up at the Terminal and we reached home just in time for TEA...

So..here i blog again. My weekend ended

Date:: 24th October 2011,Monday
Time:: 4.30pm
End Point:: Mums house, Taman Tasik Utama.

::World of Mine::My Longest Weekend..Day 1..::

I had a wonderful start to a weekend of good company.....and here i blog!

Start:: Friday 21st October 2011.

Time:: 12pm.

Starting Point:: Sri Kembangan, Selangor D.E

Sofea with the remote..see Sarah's leg on the chair..haish.

I arrive the day before taking the bus with my 2 kids. The journey-okay la tade banyak orang in the bus. Hassle pun kurang. Sarah was excited, she kept on talking about her previous trips, about visit to Genting Highlands..(aku xde cakap pun nak pergi High Lands). We took the 5pm bus and arrive at the wonderful Terminal Bus Sepadu in Bandar Tasik Selatan at 7pm. Picked up by dear friend Zakiah. My sister was suppose to pick me up but she had some last important job errands to do and she had to pick up my BIL. KL-rain..not fun at all. The whole night. We stop at Equine for KFC. Dah lapar sangat la katakan and then home and chill. Brrr...sejuk outside okay

My kids re-arranging my sisters place.

Miss Diva-I-Dont-like-it-after-i- had- it.

...The Roadtrip...

We headed out mulanya nak pergi Cosmos theme park kat Berjaya Time Square. Bawak Sarah jalan jalan, then fikir, waste sebab dia je nak main. Yang lain x nak main sebab, most grown up rides budak budak xleh naik. vice versa.1st we headed for Brunch. lapar sudah. had bread je morning. So we went to Nasi Ayam Hainan Chee Meng at Bukit Bintang. Yummilicious and superb..kenyang sampai petang! Sarah and Sofea enjoyed. Makan banyak...Sofea biasala..she just wants to walk around.

..the table...ngahah xde kerja nak amik kan..

Host and Hostess for the day..

Then I call Ana thought of meeting her at Imbi but she was not working so we decided to go on a road trip. Some ideas came up-Penang, Ipoh, Cherating, Kuantan...but My BIL (Wan) being the only guy (sensible kot) cam xnak go far cause dia x spontaneous like my sis said. Me and my friends also my sis use to go on spontaneous trips from before.We just get up and hit the road see where it brings us. Sometimes we find unique and awesome places in the nook and corner of nowhere.My hubby then BF would also join in.This time he was elsewhere doing his own roadtrip.How i wish he was with us..it would be awesome. I always see him as our map, the guide that brings us to ntah mana mana. So we decided to head to the Highlands. I did promise Sarah a cold climate place-Bukit Tinggi.

MasyaALLAH so cantikkan the clouds after rain contrast again the lushes of green grass and trees.

..in the tunnel we go..

in the car, ZM driving..

As we headed to the destination pick, sun was still shinning. Suddenly bila sampai Genting Sempah ( almost to Genting Highlands), the car started to gegar and the steering seems to tremble. Alamak!! we thought that prob it had to do with the balancing had lari la..ahahah...so we stop at Janda Baik to find a Car service shop or a tyre shop. Tapi alangkah terkejutnya..we found a lot of seafood restaurant. heran x? mana laut? Here, in the highlands, between valleys..surrounded by dark green lushes trees..ade SEAFOOD RESTAURANT...next to each other lagi. My sister pointed out she thought it was weird. We did not find any help and was told the nearest would be in Bentong. That was like 25km ahead and 10 km further than the destination.

When ZM's tyre pecah we had to change..ni tengah bincang..'Should we play futsal while we wait' ahahha

That Mister la yang tukar the tayar...

this picture before that, masa nak tukar tayar spare..i got the pictures mixed up la

tayar ZM pecah....to Ignacio..this is PECAH..u see..KAbABom!~ PEcah..

So we went to Bentong..nice place.By now the clouds had turn grey and time was running out. We just found out we had to be at the top before 6pm or we will be denied entrance. Clocked time :: 3.25pm :: Nak tak nak kena tukar tayar kan. Takut nanti naik bermasalah or lari licin ke. Hah..so changed tyre and then headed to the High Lands. Skali we salah jalan. Had to follow the Old Karak road which was winding and much longer. It was much near the hillside and rain started to shower down heavily. Means, posibbility of landslides..we were on that road for more than 40 minutes. Ya Allah, hati ni tuhan je tahu. Landslides, Batu jatuh tengah jalan, pokok tumbang, vision kurang, hujan lebat tu...at last we reach genting Sempah.So we U turn and on the highway back to Bukit Tinggi...in..the..rain..

We reach Bukit Tinggi rain had stop pouring up there. the place was nice and cold. We stroll along. Letting Sofea explore this new Place. Sarah was sour cause she just woke up. I had to carry her. Mak ai...we lepak at Colmar Tropicale. Checked out the room and they were fully booked. Tade rezeki la..Frontdesk told me have to book in advance. Walk in ni susah sikit. There was another place. Awesome as ever and much expensive-The French Chateu, itu tengok je la boleh..ahahaha..We roamed around, admiring gods handswork. MasyaALLAH..peace, calm and serenity...with Sarah & Sofea.

After eating at La Flamme,(mahal gila just for Pizza, cokes and Chic Wings)....alas perut ZM said..Waaa...thats too up high..we headed down to Kampung Baru for Sukhumvit (yeay sedap)...makan x ingat nye. So hungry and enjoyed the Kerabu mangga, Tom Yam Sukhmuvit with Daging Goreng. Smurfing malas lepas makan so we headed home. The kids enjoyed though Sarah asyik bebel when she did not get her way. I thought they would sleep at nite but unfortunatley NO. They were not as tired as us the grown ups..WE were coaxed in watching 3 idiots. ZM was the first to hit the bantal, then zura and wan. I was on and off asleep cause tengah tunggu si Pippa and Yaya tido.

::Family o'Mine:: Walking Pippa and Singging Yaya::

.Last weekend,Papa & Mommy both had to be at the Kedai. So we wanted to spend the time with you guys. So mommy brought along your toys and for the 1st time we let you walk freely at the padang with you toy stroller. You had fun Sofea, Sarah was excited having you to play with on the turf and she was bouncing up and down. Sofea pushing her stroller into anyone infront of her. Bukan dia kira siapa depan dia, dia tolak je janji dia bergerak. Bila mommy kejar dia, bukan main laju dia jalan tapi maybe dia rasa benda tu lembab, dia abandoned kan and merangkak. SO papa kena carry you up again.

Besides that satu habbit, bila nampak sampah kat padang sibuk nak stop nak angkat..ceh...

Smile a lilttle smile for me...

Making Friends, x kira bangsa

Pose for mommy yang sibuk panggil i masa nak jalan

Papa bodyguard Pippa and Yaya

Tengah tengok ada a few people at the side of the Padang who knew her name calling her.

Sandal Ipanema Yaya, kena sew sikit belakang sebab Yaya dah longgarkan.

Happy Smurfette

Last but not least. Sejak i started making Video Clips for some families abroad. I attah in my blog. hah dah macam nak jadi director. BUt  abit messy la yang ni.

::Family o'Mine:: A day!!::

.Okay beside all the hassle going on Melaka, my 2 angels were with me.Besides malaikat pencatat amalan ku. Sofea and Sarah was here..malas nak blog dalam tulisan je.SO enjoy the collage below

That is what basically happen trough one tough day with the kids.They wont be put down or left for long. They wont sit quiet...and they like to explore..

::My World:: Around the world by standing in one place::

Nooo not on the map of course, that would be too easy.

Sometimes rasa best dok 'kerja' kat Rastafari. Maybe sebab kedudukan geografinya atau pun sebab range customer yang datang. Kalau datang, mesti akan tanya and berbual. Yeslah mungkin feel a bit weird kot kedai cam ni ada kat tempat yang x terfikir..

When one has to travel around the world to see people and culture, this week the world came to me tapi x sempat la sangat nak tanya pasal culture.Culture ni menarik tau sebab lain tempat lain culture. We define culture, ke culture define us. Tapi dari sesebuah culture tu kita leh tahu asal usul kita kan.

Well, tahu x tahu the World Karate Championship 2011-Junior & Cadet diadakan this week kat Melaka, ha.Tak sangka pulak WORLD class...held at MITC...dekat la rumah Mommy..so banyak la karate kids ni merayap rayap kat mana lagi kalau bukan Dataran. So memang dorang lalu mesti masuk kedai. Semua muda remaja belia lagi. Budak budak. Ada yang okay, ada yang kalau kita tegur dia pandang cam kita alien, ada yang over peramah leh duduk berbual bertukar tukar pendapat. Woo..sometimes xleh layan customer lain x terlayan.

So far antara countries yang menjengah masuk..Tunisia, Armenia (family Kardashian kot ZM ahaha), Korea (Park Kin Son adalah AS, Park yg kau minat x free), Australia, Singapore, Indonesia, New Zealand, Rwanda (betul ke eja ni, first time tgk orang Rwanda), Macau, Hong Kong, Luxembourg (Susah nau nak sebut nama country ni tapi orang dia agak friendly), Hungary ( memang budak budak dorg masuk sambil kunyah makanan), Italy, France(sombong x nak cakap), England,Canada,Fiji,Spain,Jepun,Saudi Arabia,Netherland (hah ni negara keturunan Mommy ni) dan ade yang x habis jumpa. So tournament starts this hursday.Ah ade 77 negara...and i wish i can meet at least one of each!! and thats what i call around the world by standing in one place!!!

Peserta dari macau suh kita root for diorang, Aih abih siapa nak root for Malaysia. Of coursla Malaysia jadi yang 1st choice..lepas tu barula i will root for you.Ahahaha Ajak ZM ke mari sebab dulu dia kan masuk taekwando. KArate-Takewando ni lebey kurang la. Mana tahu minat.ngahahahah tapi dia busy.

::Family o'Mine:: Sarah and the potato people::

.Hahaha what is 'Potatoe People' marila kita lihat Video cara cara melukis Potato People.

She got imagination. From that day onwards, any books, blank papers, and even on plain surface were inhabit  by  potato people. I found potato people in my planner, on her bedframe, on plain papers at the shop, on some receipt, in Sofea's baby book. Hmmm nampaknye 'chief' potato people ni nak kena complain. Penduduk dia merata rata sangat!!...

::World of Mine:: Its My Fb and i Add if i want to::

'Kalau x nak friends or berkenalan, x payah la bukak FB, pakai je la Phone cukup'-dari orang yand bengang sbb x approved.

FB, Facebook. Some people use FB as away to make friends, new connection, fraud apa saja la kan. FB ni can be any platform for you. Tapi tuk aku its a platform for only friend and family of mine to gather. People who matter to me. Not trying to make me sound so berlagak or bagus bagus tapi itulah hakikat. I use FB for aquintance and people i know. I dont make friends virtually that often. Sebab lihat saja la, berapa banyak kes tipu.Even i can lie on the net. I MAKE FRIENDS with a shake of hand, hello hye and smile.Okay!! Aku bukan budak budak lagi nak melayan nonsense ni.

Jadi, kalau u add me, xde introduction. Sorry Rejected. Kalau u add me with intro nak berkenalan apa. Sorry Rejected.Normally i reply, am married with 2 kids not interested nak berkenalan (mostly lelaki ntah mana mana la). Maybe jugak dia tu paedophile kan sebab i always put my childrens picture. So kena berhati hati. Reason is aku x suka nak berkenalan sangat on net. U can be not who you really are. Camana aku nak percaya? adela kes kes jujur.1/100 kot. Cam aku, pun jujur kadang kala.SO i am not someone you add tuk make sure you list cecah ribu riban juta!!

I never befriends people on my list. Sebab its not in my nature. SO kalau u think i am not suitable you can kick me out, suka, you can leave, tapi lepas tu you nak add balik. I akan think balik la. Some people too status concius or some bila sentap sikit nak buang, then bila salah faham tu ok nak add balik. Kalau u deactivae account lain cerita cause i am still on your list.

I dont block either except a few anoying people who like to pry on my facebook cause dulu i set- only friend, and friend of friends can view. Jadi kau bukan kawan pun leh tengok. so now no. only friends. Sorry ya, no hard feelings.

Kalau use FB as medan tuk business yess aku welcome them. Aku support. Aku x add tapi aku akan LIKE page.

My friend said to me once: Quote: Some part in life you akan realise x semua kawan will stick with you. Some people you just have to get rid to advance, some people use you and some people just dont matter in your life but their clutter up your mind.She told me this while she was cleaning up her FB. I thought, apa la dia ni orang nak kawan pun dia x nak. Tapi sometimes betul. My BFF also once said to me,' Satu masa ade kawan kawan kita akan drift apart, yang kekal tu je la kau simpan yang jauh tu cukup la kau hye hye bye xnak get too personal nanti susah diri. Dan yang xde kepentingan atau urusan dalam hidup kau x payah la kau nak sesak sesak fikir.Now i understand apa dorang mean.

So kalau setakat orang yang x berapa penting nak friend pastu marah aku x add, aku malas nak layan. Kalau orang yang x penting tapi perasan penting pastu nak marah marah pun aku abaikan. Only people yang matters je la yang i will take trouble for. Yang lain tu sometimes are clutter and pebbles that weight me down. What you say doesnt not matter or effect me. I dont even know who the hell you are. Cause if you know me, you sure ade introduction lagi bagus or senang citer, you will be on my list.

I dun mind if i am rejected as friends, i dont mind if i am ignored. Maybe i am just clutter to you. Its a fair world. So you also should understand where you stand. Jangan la perasan like everyone thinks you are that important part in life and what you say i have to consider. Maybe you will just get a laugh and bullshit from me.So i am not gonna reply you cause you are just clutter and orang tiada kepentingan buat masa ni Buang masa kalau reply.

Whats the use of having 1000 friends when only 300 are you true acquaintanceship and from that amount probably 200 are ones you knew for a long time and from that maybe only 50 are your true friends??So my way now is. if you are not in the list please check again later.Bukan nak sombong or berlagak tapi sometimes some people hanya menyemakkan hidup.

Its My Fb and i add if i want To, add if i want To, add if i Want to you would do that too if it happen to you!! Sorry if i offended any one of you, but this is generally from my point of view. Your point maybe different. Oppinions are welcome but i beg to differ.

::Family O'Mine:: Sarah, Yellow Clown??::

You know how budak kecik at certain age they can see things and they can tell you. Its a transaction. Dia kecik dia leh nampak and cakap tapi tiada siapa akan percaya. Then they loose the sight when we start to believe in them.Well, some also say budak kecik ni 'ada orang' kadang suka and dia akan kacau. Ntahla..i dunno but this is what i wanna blogg down.

Sometimes its only their imagination.

Sarah has been sleeping in her room on her own. remember i cakap she is independent and very kakak kakak. So she always sleep alone in her room only  a door away from me. Semalam she bangun at nite with fever and she mengigau. Then she started screaming for me to sleep with her in the room. Akhirnya, i carried her to mine. Penat woo malam kena bangun sampai 4, 5 kali. Tu baru Sarah, lom masuk Sofea ngan susu dia lagi. I was also hoping her fever would go down. Sebab tiba tiba je dia demam.

The next day, mom datang and took her.It was saturday and they wanted to spend time with Sarah. Just nice as i had to be at the shop this weekend. Weird part, Sarah told mom she saw a yellow clown in her room.My mom ask if dia macam patung ke macam orang, she said it was maca orang, The clown baring next to her and tepuk dia tido. Sayang sayang dia tido. Meremang okay bulu roma...sometimes its only kids imagination. ON her bed ada satu garfield bolster besar, someone gave her for her birthday. Itu je. Or maybe it was me coming to see to her and she saw me as a big yellow clown. Tsk!!!

So the next night i put her in my room, again dia bangun mengadap tingkap and cakap ade clown dalam room. Aish..so i got mad and i said,' CLown for heaven sake please dont disturb'. I baca surah al fatihah, ayat kursi and alhamdulillah, she slept sound the whole night

Is this the yellow man or clown Sarah imgane

OR

This all time favourite Yellow Clown-Ron McDon.

::Family o'Mine:: Sofea Starts To Walk::

My lil one has got her legs..well not literally la. She started walking. Before this she holds and move. Now dah berani nak let go and walk short distance. But when she is in a hurry she will crawl. Tsk!~~ My babies are growing. Wonder if Harry Porter can teach me spells to slow down time.

It was an hour before the store closes and we were playing outside the premises. Sofea suddenly refuse to hold both hands. She hold me with one hand and the other waving to orang lalu lalang. Ceh dia ingat dia Queen Sophia ke apa? Hoh after that i tried to let go of her and she walk. Baru lagi so short distance je dia berani. Sarah jerit panggil Papa dia keluar. So papa dia took this video but short sangat sebab Papa dia takut dia x larat. Now she dont want to be carried and expect you to pegang her and walk. Mak ai patah pinggang oi!!

You see...tet tet tet...she goes wearing Sarah's Ipanema sandals. ZM, her airwalk sandals is in your car la!!..

::Family O'mine:: Speechless::

Had to wake up really early and off to bed late for 2 days in a row. So biasala a bit malas malas and over kepenatan. Sarah wanted to go to toilet. She just came back from E133 with Idris and she did not mention she needed to go for number 1. Haish..so i ask Idris to bring her and Idris push her back to me. I just came back from toilet cleaning up Sofea so terasa macam Macik Tandas la ulang alik 2 kali. Things got heated and i said,' Yela you ni x boleh ke bring Sarah, senang je dia dah besar' as i walk out to toilet again.

Sarah:: Mother x baik tau u macam tu, tu kan Wife you?
Me:: Siapa wife i?
Sarah:: you and papa la, can papa eh salah husband you, Jangan la gaduh gaduh, jangan la carik pasal. Bwak je la i pergi toilet. (in a very calm and macik macik way)

Terkedu.My daughter dah besar, she understands. though no hard feelings and tadela gaduh cuma biasala husband and wife one mesti suka menyakat and the other surely get irritated. So i said. Okay okay sorry i x gaduh lagi.

In the toilet, i ask her to wash her hand and she was playing with water and splashing everywhere and my baju pun basah.

Me:: Sarah just basuh tangan, DONT play with water, YOu see mommies baju basah now.
Sarah:: Haish...asyik nak marah anak dia je. (while geleng her head and walk out of the toilet).
Me:: eh i x boleh marah my anak ke kalau dia naughty.
Sarah:: x boleh kesian dia, kecik lagi apa dia tahu.

Aha...ni mesti dengar my mom tegur me when we marah her or sometimes after Idris marah her and sofea i will talk to him later. normally that is what i will say. But this kira she understands la kan. Tut!~ Eavesdropping-Anyway i was really grumpy that day. Sleep deprivation.

She knew she was in trouble and she laughed and said "okay marah marah can can".


Later that petang, Idris brought her down for a walk.She came up with ice cream and a smilling and  laughing dad. I ask why.

Sarah ask him for Ice cream and he told her to ask me. So sarah said to him, " Papa ni x baik, itukan wife you, dia pun penat, you je la buy for me". Pernah dengar x ayat tu...ahaha pandai budak ni putar ayat. She amik kesempatan when we squibble infront of her. Ouh so we checked her and she ask us. 'X boleh ke cakap macam tu?" Pandai kau eh nak get away!.

Well salah parenting ni. Dah lari sikit. SOmetimes we forget that she is grown now, she understands well and she has a wide range of vocab she likes to use. For instance:-

"Mother that day mimma buat for me kuih tu something like that la"
" Ma i think about time la Sofea mandi she so busuk"
" Is nonsense je Papa ni, mana boleh drive masuk dalam ni"

You see how she use those words. Ask her to give you the meaning. She will explain and kadang betul juga apa dia explain tu. Haish...tapi ABC lom pandai lagi. Ish..x boleh nak ajar dia x nak dengar. Orang lain dia okay.So kena pergi sekolah la.

::My World:: Just saying..thats all::

How Malaysian Could I be.

Today felt like having Banana Leaf so we went to Jalan Bendahara and had Banana leaf-the full course. It was yummylicious and kept me full till night. Seriously, was extremely full- Alhamdulillah. Jalan bendahara is also dubbed as Little India of Melaka. Since Deepavali is next month, they were having Saree's,Lengga and punjabi' suits on sales. Sarah had one last year it couldnt fit her any longer and when she saw those clothes lined up, She turn her angelic smile and ask if i would get her one this year (PS:BTW she is a big fan of hindustani movies,so you could guess why she like this clothes). I thought of getting Sofea a Lengga and Sarah a Punjabi suit. I try to show my kids the best part of being Malaysian. You have all this festival and you can wear all this traditional suits. on CNY i got them cheongsams, Christmas they were clad up in Green and Red santa's helper-like clothes and of course i made sure they know all about Hari Raya. Thats the fun part of being Malaysian. I made sure they know and learn they roots,about their culture and religion and then others,so when they grow big they will learn to respect other peoples culture and religion as the others should respect theirs. Later evening i had pau and mooncake from bakers cottage. Then at night, i vowed i did not want to eat rice but ended up having Asam Pedas-full set. Halamak!! What a day. and my kids had the same meal as i did. Sofea eats spicy, she can take chilli a lil bit but Sarah kari she can take. But not that spicy. I have to admit, our diet are more on to Indian-Malay food diet. But once in a while we will go hunting for Halal Chinesse Dishes.

Waiting for that Call from Yemen


Yesterday, my FIL tried to VC us from Yaman. The connection seem to get interupted and error. SO today before time, me and BIL had everything prepared. We call each other and tested our applications so that it will run smoothly. But again when the time came, still not able to call. So we chatted only. I was on SKype, Windows Live, Facebook, Yahoo M.Even on phone trying to get things organised and run smoothly. Well at the end of the day, we call quits and will try again tomorrow. Hoping to speak to them there. The kids were waiting anxiously.

Sofea being Naughty

Was at home watching TV. realise sofea being quiet and very focus. She was near my laptop and i saw one cup on the floor. The cup WAS filled with MILO. Oh no not again. MILO and my Lappies have been enemies ever. last time Sarah drop Milo on my lappy and that endedmy lappy's life. Now again, i peep and saw Sofea pouring milo on the table and the smudging it all over the table. I shouted OMIGOSH..and she notice my change of voice and she KNEW i was angry, She quickly turn, called out for PAPA and came running towards me. When she reach me she touch my face and say..Ma..there there...I look at her blur. My husband came and pick her up and wash her. Back from the toilet she gave me a devilish grin. This budak betul la. she is so manja with her dad, she feels she can get away with anything!!!

::My World:: Wekeendz::

My Weekend. That is suppose to be the tittle of my blog. But it was not only my weekend, it was also ZM, IA, and NA's weekend.Why i use acronyms? i just love it.no questions ask.Upon ZM's request..here i blog.

The weekend started at 11pm when ZM arrived from KL. Hallo, Sofea was wailing at the moment and when she came in Sofea just stop crying and started to stare at ZM. We were to tired to start any 'gosip girls' or any baking or any movies.(Baru balik kedai and she just got back from a days work at the court of Justice). We called it a day after a brief chat.

Saturday


Ahah the next morning, Sarah tuntut janji ZM to the ZOO. Since my sister ZR and brother in law were down, they were dragged to the zoo. Okayla the day started out not that hot but as we entered the zoo it was like the sun suddenly got up from a slumber. Terus panas max. But you know dalam zoo mesti a lot of trees so not bad.

::Walking in the entrace. See that lil diva she made my sis buy her that hat.Purple pulak tu Eiyerkkks...::

::ZM and Sis posing by the Zebra cage. Sofea was excited seeing small animals jump and Sarah was looking for her cow.::

::Its pure Sanguine, macam lady D x? ahaks..it was hot but i was glad she wore the hat all the way.::

::After we played with the small horse then we read this sign. Tsk!! Lucky no one was bitten::

::yeah i mean this black mare or what black kuda padila::

::you know why i snap this picture. This Capybara (however it is spelled) was waiting anxiously for their food. It was feeding time and the zookeepers were taking time to feed all the animals turn by turn. I find it amusing. So smart.They know the entrace. BTW Capy's are the bigest spesis of Rodent. There some fun facts for you.

::The Tapir to Sarah's observation was too tired to stand or walk so it sat there quietly while some zoo patrons scratching its back. Mesti dia suka kan tapir ni. Remind me of my hubby who likes anyone scratching his back.::

::This bird is extremely mean. Really mean...sly, i hate you. you tried to bite my hand::

::Wild monkeys. Not caged and will pose for you a snap or two::

::Pinkish girls. Sofea seems to take in to ZM's company very well::

::This Monkey sat on the tree and no matter how close i got to it, it did not move and inch::

::By the Tigers cage. tired and thirsty::

::Sarah was not crying but something got in her eyes while Sofea looks on devilishly. look how naughty that look is. She look so comfy when Zura is holding her.::

::No words can explain..walking back to the starting point.At this point Sarah was screaming, Nak Berak!! Tapi sempat singgah crocodiles den::

::walking up hill, ZM teaching Sarah to take small steps at a time so that it would not be that tiring::

Okay so the zoo trip was not that fun. It was okay. Not fun sebab banyak orang. KIDS especially. Kids from Tadika, Taska, Primary. And you know how kids get when the come in flocks. Madness...Sofea like the whole trip and did not complain.Excited at every thing she saw. Sarah' was as usual looking for cows and elephants. We reach at one point when Sarah wanted to go for number 1 and we had to run here and there to find a toilet. Hah zoo ni kekurangan toilet or the toilet gaps are too far.Then she saw elephants and noted that SHE COULD NOT RARE ONE AT HOME.Doh!! Kids now, they want exotic animals as pets.She ask me if a lion was okay? Sarah those animals eat kids like you.

While all this chaos. My husband was at home with NA doing his wood work.He is in a happy place when he does his manly woodwork or electrical or any other manly stuff. I have lucky to have such a hands on husband. They are preparing the furniture for RASTAFARI KL.

::Mr NA working hard on making sure everything is accurate and as planned. Cant believe he is wearing glasses now. yeah age is catching up ey::

So, later after Zoo, we sent my sis and her hubby back and we bought in lunch. Had lunch and rested for the afternoon. We decided to do some fun baking later at night. So around 5pm we headed out to find those ingridents. All we needed was extra colouring,piping bag, filling,eggs and cupcakes mould. Aha we went to the cakes shops available but we were late. Closed. So we headed to Mydin. Bought our stuff headed to my mom's to get the cake mixer just to find out mom had everything. tskk..forgot mom makes cakes most of the time. We stayed there. Mom made chicken rice, Nt Pat was there. We mingled and chatted while watching TV.We went home just before Idris came back.

That night we started our baking and playing. Sarah enjoyed as much.She likes colours and she ask us to write her name on. at first i wanted to wait for Sofea to sleep cause its hard to handle her and bake at the same time. She wanted to be carried. So ZM took over the task. I was just her helper. YEAH BETUL KALI NI SEMUA ZM BUAT. ahaha. the first batch we did with nutella filling and it finish in a blink of an eye.Nuts over Nuttela but so expensive here, i ordered a few tubs from Mamu Nizam when he goes down to SG, Mustafa. The rest of the day spend lepak and just chit chat.

Sunday


We got up late. Speak for yourself Maria, okay ZM got up early with Sarah. They were talking when i got up. Watching TV. Had our bath and headed for lunch and hunting for more baking things as the previous batch was not to ZM satisfaction. So we had lunch around the corner near my house, headed to Batu Berendam and we found a cake shop heaven. bought some things and was eager to start.

::okay this is not coloured cupcakes but APAM KALER KALER- by ZM.Taste like normal APAM but when you get to the Nutella part thats my favourite::

The second batch came out okay but the colour was not to ZM's satisfaction. Dia can jadi judge in Masterchef Malaysia. Picky! tasted Yummy. leh pakai la recipe kau ni. Then it was evening, we took turns bathing and followed Husband and en Nizam to Dataran. We jalan jalan and lepak. Checking out phones and also Daiso (its like ZM favourite store).Later after that, we had dinner at Pasar Borong. Asam pedas was awesome. Ate and chat (not much talking this time). Went home!!.

Actually we bought some DVDs at DP but i left them in the store. It was all Sarah;s movie.So sebab terlupa we tried to pull her attention away. Last last skali Dada Nizam dapat tengok cerita dia. While we watch Johnny Depp acting silly, ZM was on-line and the girls were falling off to sleep. Went to lepak with ZM in the room and berbual sampai tertido. Got up, Sarah who sleeps in the room with ZM was outside, so i pull her in, put Sofea into bed and to bed myself.

Monday

Zm woke me up at 5am. She was already ready to go to work. Yerp when she visit, i always tend to drag her stay to Monday morning. It all started out one time she came and she was so lazy to return back to KL. It was the week when she stayed the longest. Well thank you for being a sport ZM, thank you for sharing the weekend. And i heard you said, ' See you this weekend'. Ngahahaha..sure come on, lets make Soan Papdi this time!!..

Sofea seem so attach to ZM. infact she is attach to anyone besides family that she meets 2 days in a row. She took in ZM company well and was very fond of her. Sarah on the other hand, greeted ZM as her friend not mine. Ceh..
