#MyKids-Sofea's Way

Today me and my kids were utterly bored. All of us were fighting for the laptop. Sarah wants to play games, me of course my usual habit and now Sofea has joined in with her interest in my Screensaver. So if I get my way, the kids will be bored, if Sofea gets her way, then we would be looking into a 3D fishtank on my screen.If Sarah gets her way, Sofea gets bored.So I decided no laptop for the whole afternoon. Sofea got her way. I put it on Screensaver mode, as if i had a life Aquarium at home. (ps::I am gonna get one.Syed hook me up with a good shop pls).

#My screen save. Cun or not..can feed fish some more okay..heheh

Then they got bored watching the fishes, ni siap can bagi makan lagi tau.Jangan main main. They decided to ransack my cabinet while i was washing clothes. (Cuci tangan okay, sakit pinggang ni ah).

#main masak masak, all girls play this.

#Sofea started first with her bowl of coco crunch.

#Then they brought the masak masak into tents.

This is the tent that Sarah got for her 3rd Birthday. The one Dada Nizam gave her. It was suppose to be filled with balls. Nadiah, you played in this tent with her right?.

So while they were at this, i had time to do my house cleaning, cooking and some slight browsing trough the internet. I went to have my bath,(yes aku mandi lambat). Something happen, Sofea tried to FLY.

#She climb on the chair to the table and sempat lagi pose for me, then she just wanted to walk off the table.Gila aku kejar sambut..

# The cheekiest girl in Selayang.

So geram, i had to bundle her up for a while cause she refuse to sit still. While i mop she was running up and down leaving footprints on my just mopped floor. When i was sweeping she was following my broom and playing with the dustpan. When i had my bath she stood outside shouting to come in and when i open my door to go out she came in and wet herself.

#Cocoon wrapped Sofea..Ini ubat dia.

#Sarah helped and she was happy Sofea is now wrapped like a new born.Big one too.

Then after cleaning all up, having dinner we went down to have Ice Creams. Today did not go swimming cause mommy tired doing laundry.

~The End~

#MyKids-Sarah's Next Birthday

Yaya will be turning 4 soon. I look at her and I cant imagine her as a baby. How could this baby turn into a small beautiful girl so fast..So fast time flies. I miss her baby ways. I have Sofea now, but she is totally different from Sarah.

I am planning to give Sarah a birthday she can remember. Now she is much bigger i am sure she will remember much than when she was 2, 3. She remembers well about other things happen before this so she would remember her birthday. But then again, I dont know where will I be? will the most important people in her life make it if i were to do in KL? I dunno. My husbands birthday is only 6 days before her and i am more anticipated in hers than  his. Sorry Jaan, you and i will have eternity together InsyaALLAH. Our daughter, once she grows up and get married, she is not ours to hold on to anymore. My baby..growing up.

Sarah's temperament is really more on the melancholic sanguine.Or some say Choleric Sanguine,But i dont think she is that Choleric.She likes to complain, like to whine, she is always wanting her ways, she argues. Tiring tau sometimes. But she has a very soft heart, kind, loving and easily moved. How can this be. so contradicting sometimes. Mom says, she has not develope her full character yet. I still have time.

Sofea, she is funny, cheeky and naughty but also always wanting her ways, shouts when she doesnt get her way. She will cry off to sleep if its not in her favour. I let her sleep..sudah penat nak melayan if bagi muka.. Same thing i faced when Sarah was small. So the thing i can confirmed is both of my daughters are headstrong. I am getting a strong headache. Now i am okay with taking care of them is how i have to shape their character. teach them god and bad and acceptance. Alamak..this is no longer the nursing phase but the character building phase. This phase determines how she will grow up. Mann this is scaring the mommy out of me.

#MyWorld-Complaints Complaints!!~

Nothing much has change.I am still in KL. Missing home very much. Then again i think. I am missing my things at home. So materialistic of ME. But what is the use of having them and not using, its a waste.I am not rich. So here I am blogging thinking of being home.

This week, sure heboh is only a stone away from Mom's place. I hate to go this places because of the crowded place, carpark hunt and weather. But since its only near my mom's, walking distance i wouldn't mind.Then we have the Le Tour De Langkawi in Dataran itself. How i wish!! I love watching the cyclist passing by and seeing who is the last one!Miss that again. There is always something happening in Melaka and i am always part of it. In KL, no doubt its the city, but nothing exciting seems to arise. KL suppose to have more exciting things, and events right? Am in in the wrong place in KL? well because Melaka, i am in the heart of the state where everything is focused to be. Thats why, i am always in it. This time..KL, everywhere also happening sampai the happening rate is par everywhere. I am not making sense am I doh!~.

So much for complaints. I was suppose to follow my sister back and leave my husband behind.But then it was late, he suddenly change his mind. So i stayed behind. I understand, without the kids around he feels kinda bored. But my arch enemy is here. Driving me really roof top!!!..Sabar je la...

#MyWorld- Learning Capitals.

Today, an aussie customer walk in. He is from Perth, Australia. I always thought that Sydney is the capital of Australia. Teeeettttt!!~ Wrong, its Canberra. Cam x glamour kan nama dia. Not always mention. Selalu capital mesti sibuk at everything is happening there. If Australia semua tahu, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney. Lain tu suam suam kuku. Here are some capitals that we thought we know tapi sometimes x betul.

Brazil-Brasilia (ramai cakap Rio de Janeiro sebab dia masuk weather forecast)

Australia- Canberra

Nothern Ireland-Belfast (selalu orang fikir Dublin jugak)

Ireland-Dublin

Palestine & Israel-
 Jerusalem (they actually have the same ibu negara but since the trouble, Palestine declared Ramallah & Gaza)

Canada-Ottawa

#MyWorld- Rage

"More people would learn from their mistakes if they weren't so busy denying them." - Harold J. Smith

"Maturity is achieved when a person postpones immediate pleasures for long-term values." — Joshua L. Liebman

Therefore I shall hold on to that and Sabar. 

While i still can Sabar..but once i cannot sabar eh..

You memang ask for it la.

#MyKids- Chugginton Malaysia-Cokiten..

You know this cartoon, the theme song...it goes " Chungginton, chugga, chugga, chugga..." something like that.

So, this is Yaya's & Pippa's favourite cartoon. Yesterday was taking the train uptown. Sarah as usual, talking non stop. Then she said,"Mother best train ni. But train ni bukan mcam Cokiten kan?"...Cokiten? Huh?..

so i ask.." Apa tu cokiten, mother x tahu la.."  she started to sing to me.." Coookiten..coki coki coki coookiten"...then it hit me. Cam familiar je lagu ni...ouh..CHUGGINTON...alahai Sarah..Cokiten Sarah!!

*Cokiten-Co(as in Comel not Co as in Company)-key-ten

#MyWorld-Obsession of White Gardenia'S.

While I was in the Lion City, good fren Heed brought me on a warm walk visit to the Botanic Gardens. Yes i am not a fan of this 'Taman Taman', but since have Kids and when my dearest Friend ZM showed me that not all 'Taman Taman cannot blah wan' so i have been frequently visiting a few 'Tamans'. I like the greenery and calmness.

#This is Heed and my daughter Yaya, both adorable.

So..as i was saying, the Botanic Gardens in Singapore is a refreshing place to walk. In my mind, we can have quiet time talking to a best friend, tempat nak lepak and release frust or tension or stress, a place to just let the kids enjoy nature, or just to learn to appreciate mother earth. I would love to have my friends sit with me here and just talk. Well on my walk, i found this flower....i pass by the path and this scent just caught me...

#Present to you the "white Gardenia'-*creditstoheed
Gardenia-The Family of White Gardenias

It looks like a carnation or rose, smells strong like a rose. But the smell it was not rose, something sweet and refreshing.Like waking up early on a Cloudy Afternoon with no school/work and breakfast is on the table.You are feeling all right and hype.That's the feeling.and The flower was hanging in this trees. I thought maybe Jasmine, or some kind of Graveyard Flower but then i look down at the 'tag'-"White Gardenia". I stood there smelling to this wonderful scent. Me and Heed both. I told her, i would love to take this flower and take the essence out of it and make my perfume. She too like it.

That evening, i went down to Body Shop to accompany my aunt to get her supplies and guess what. The little Sales Rep said,' hai why dont you try our new limited edition scent-White Gardenia'. I blurted out. Yes i want that! It was like "wat?? huh??, i was just thinking of the flower" and now it is in Body Shop?!!!...My aunt look at me,' That was fast, you decided?'.. so...i got the mist for 50%. The perfume is so bloody mahal. 

Well i found there is another perfume by ILLIMINUM.(i never heard, now only know).I dunno if it smells the same.

Apparently, Kate Middleton is wearing White Gardenia by ILLIMINUM. Geez i wanna find this. So royal.

I told my husband the whole story. He sniff and said nice but he said, i don't smell like bread. I wondered why? He thought,-White Gardenia is White Bread...like the Gardenia Bread....Doink!~~

*He is always looking for ways to annoy me.

#MyWorld- Mellow Mood has got Me.

Tiring day, asyik mengemas after the 2 kidos. This weekend was simple and mellow. Still tired from the trips in the car..yerp when i got my pillow and bed it was like...yeahhhhh!~~

We had guest at home. Yerp the quiet and mellow Wan from Rastafari Melaka.You see how cool and smooth and relax and laid back he is...ahahha.. He came to cover the outlet in KL and stayed on for a few days. Having him around was simple. He is quiet, funny and easy to entertain. It was like he was not in the house..ahaha..So he went back on Saturday. My sister came to spend the time with the kids on Saturday. They had an afternoon of swimming followd by lunch...It has been ages seen i see her.

Then i decided to lepak at her house instead. Movie marathon the whole day. I watched Twillight Breaking Dawn, Planet of the Apes, something about Metal with Hugh Jackman acting and the kids watch Despicable Me, Puss in Boots, Narnia aand we topped them all up with series of FRIENDS. Stayed over 1 night. Cooked Chicken Rice on Saturday and Sunday cooked Fried Maggi which  both was awesome *ceh puji diri sendiri lak.

My weekend ended with some really firery news. Well i am expecting a very, very, very colourfull week next week..Chao Babe!~

..Come And Sit Beside Me..

Come and sit beside me,

Take me back to yesterday,

Grow old with me under this tree,

When we were young we had much time

We sat and talk from dusk to dawn,

We laugh and cried, 

We plan the future under this tree,

Mindless thinking we thought we'd be the same,

Come grow old with me under this tree,

Time flies, the tree stood still,

We visited when we could, 

No time to sit and chat,

Had kids running around,

Too busy with schedule in life,

To tired to talk and laugh,

To earn a living was a challenge,

Was lost where were we aiming?

Age is catching up,

Look, the wrinkles on your face

Slow down your pace dear friend,

Let me catch up and hold you hand,

Lets walk under this tree,

Lets sit on this wooden bench,

Come and sit beside me then,

#MyWorld- I've been away.

Biasa orang letak "I'm Back" tapi i choose to say, "I've been away". Sebab i am not fully back where i belong. Hah it has been the most wonderfull month. February, they say the month of love. I say, the month of Friendship.Alhamdulillah syukur, the year is going on quite bright. Hope it doesn't rain in the middle.

The last thing i remember before taking of is searching for my family tree. Yerp, i trace back my ancestors back to hundreds of years before and i track down those who are still living. Yes, this is a month of connections and relationships. Many relationship rekindled after a longgggg time..and i mean very long.

Well then i took off. It seems like a blackout from my normal life routine. The whole thing did not fit in my puzzle but it was a piece that i wanted to keep cause its the nicest piece. So i kept it. Though the trip was not officially a holiday, a shopping trip but i had fun, i relaxed and i enjoyed it. Probably cause i had company,i made new friends, trusted friends, my husband was away, its not that i dont love him or dont like him around. But when he is away i misses him more and that makes me eager for him to come home.Ahahah..complicated but simple actually.I know he did enjoy the seperation. It made us feel more connected. I hope their buying trip went well.

It was a shopping spree for my kids and for me the pleasure of seeing my kids happy is enough. I had friends taking us out for visits, they had kids and they kids bonded with my kids and they had fun. Sampai i think none of them wanted to leave and go back and call it a day. I discovered places that i didnt had the time to go to before,but the best part.i left my laptop behind so no work can be done. It was peacefull..now i know, the laptop and technology can cause a threat too..Why? Stress? when it is infornt of you, you just feel u have to open and surf and do work and stuf and get urself all work up. I am going away again soon. And this time..no laptops even if my husband bebel say he has to bring his.

ps:: sad whitney is no longer around..i love her songs...

#MyLife- Searching for ME

Every day I search for the bits and pieces of my missing link,

I search for the puzzle to my background,

Why,they say it doesn't matter the past is the past

Move on,

How can I move on if I don't know i am moving on from what

My past is important to me,

It explains why I am who I am

And it tells me why I have traits that other don't

In search of my Family Tree

#MyWorld-The Imam on TV 9.

Today was the day of celebrating our beloved Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). From am to pm we had talks and islamic programmes on TV. But one show caught my eye, well it made Sarah listen to him as if she understands. From TV9. It was Imam Suhaib Webb. He was giving a talk on Nabi Muhammad (S.A.W) the icon.

A bit on his background, her was born Christian and converted to Islam at the age of 20.He was a Christian by name but did not practise the religion as he found it hard to believe the teaching of the 2 testament Old & New. He was a gang member, a DJ and made many record with various artist. Oh forgot to say la, he is an American . He is now married to a Malaysian Wife. Yes you will be wondering who is his wife. Tried Google for her but none to avail. I realise, as an Imam, a figure in Islam, one of 500 most influential Muslim (by Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Center) sudah tentu Isteri beliau hanya untuk dia dan bukan untuk dipra tonton oleh semua orang.

Apa yang buat me tertarik bukan sebab dia Mat Saleh ( i am use to them anywhere), Bukan sebab dia mast Saleh yang convert (also dah biasa and tahu), tapi what struck me is the way he sampaikan the ceramah to people.He uses the casual voice he have,not a strain voice that sometimes some make me feel so stressed up. Cara dia sebut nama Nabi and para sahabat like how a best friend would always believe in each other and trust whatever the teachings are. Saying it with Kasih & Sayang.Recite the Quran is so soothing to the ears like it comes naturally and part of his speech.


He sents the messages of Islam in the way i can relate. He put jokes in making it not so tense.Makes me feel yes i am bad but you know change your ways, ALLAH loves you and he is always giving you time and chances to repent. Seriously he reminds me so much of my father in law. My father in law, when ever he has something to correct me, or even to share about Islam. He makes it so easy to absorb and sedar.

So i google and followed his website.I started to listen to his teaching.Read trough his writting, how he guides trough life by quoting and telling us trough the sunnah, trough the quran, trough Hadis. He made it so simple and easy. One more thing that made me rasa lain ialah, bila dia menyebut nama sahabat nabi, atau sesiapa saja ulama figure, he never missed out the Karamallahu wajhahu , radiallahu anhu (moga-moga Allah meredhainya), sollallahu alaihi wassalam (moga-moga Allah mencurahkan doa selawat dan salam kesejahteraan ke atasnya),rahimahullah (moga-moga Allah merahmatinya).or what ever it is . Some dont bother to say.


Dia berceramah in English,mungkin sebab tu jugak i feel comfortable. Sebab i am also use to listening and reading English books.No matter what bahasa it is, pick one that makes u easy to understand for ilmu without understanding and practising is no use.

His Website

i hope i get the nur to change for my deen.to live for islam the islam way not to die for my Islam but never fully understand it..

#MyKids-Raising A Malaysian Kid.

My sweetheart, the one who always calms me down.

The other day when my friend came for visit Sarah was excited. She wanted to show them around especially where to eat. So she ask my friend.

Sarah:: U nak makan apa, got macam macam here. ada kedai mamak, ada kedai buah.
My Friend:: I x nak semua tu, i lapar nak makan nasi.
Sarah:: Kedai mamak tu pun okay tapi x sedap sangat. Roti canai boleh la.kita makan je la kat
           kedai..Mel..mel..apa kedai Mel You ni.
ME:: Mel You? apa tu?
Sarah:: This Kedaila mother yang always papa buy makan ni.
ME:: *After laughing out loud. What she means is Melayu la Heed.
My Friend:: OoOO Mel You..kita orang Mel You eh...*She started laughing sampai nangis.

Then again the ethnic and race issue came up again.

Sarah:: Mother, we Meley ke?*Speaking with slang.
ME:: Malay la, say properly.
Sarah:: Meley la... cannot say like that ke. I suka.
ME:: Melayu la senang....
Sarah:: Melayu eh...Mother kita ni Melayu ke? *She had to repeat the question.
ME:: We Malaysian.
Sarah:: Yesla tapi apa? Macam yang orang selebah tu Chinesse kan.
ME:: X dia pun Malaysian.
Sarah:: EH !!! Why dia putih i Gelap.
ME:: Malaysian is us... can be whatever colour.Your ethnic is Malay.Tapi dalam surat beranak u Indian.
Sarah:: I indian? why?

*Sad face on.I laugh a mistake by the Jabatan but they said it wont matter.

ME:: Xpela you Malaysian la.Yes la you Malay.
Sarah:: Eh xpela xpela I Indian, Sofea Malay mother you become Chinesse.

*ME yang gelap ni. Sofea tu logik la jugak.

Me:: Papa?
Sarah :: Papa?......*Long paused*.. Papa Orang gelap la.

what ever la Sarah. We are malaysian..lets put the ethnic behind us. Some of us maybe Indian but fairer than any Chinesse. Some of us maybe Malay but look dark. Some of us maybe Chinesse but likes sambal belacan more than any malays eat. I cant say exactly what we are, we are so mixed up. Most of my friends are, we are just one big bowl of Pasembur. So we should call ourself

Race-Malaysian, Ethnic-Malay.

*Orang gelap she is reffering here is the African People cause where we live there is a large amount of African Community. She was thought not to be judging people by colour and be polite, therefore she use the word Dark People instead of Black People. Dark People=Orang Gelap.

#MyMusix-The Soup Song

"Soup Song" the song of rejection. Soup Boy are boy who got rejected, or dumped by a girl. This is a common lingo in India i guess? I dunno but its cool, so if i say i had soup for the night. I got rejected for the night?? Kesian me. Anywayyyyy, my friend got me hook on this song. I got my daughter hooked on it and we got hooked on to many versions.

WHY THIS KOLAVERI D 

( was one of the most watched video in 2011 on youtube.) May your saga continue Dhanush and team.

The guy who is playing the keyboard comel kan, so is the one singging. 

Now watch this one, ahah he is hilarrious. He makes the song more funny than it is. And i always have a thing for Arabic pronunciation and slang.

Kolaveri D- means murderous rage girl. But in this song its like why did that girl dumped me. So says my friend.Thanks so much for hooking us up on this song.

#MyWorld- Driving in KL.

Today, lalalala...is a public holiday in the state of Kuala Lumpur. Is it a state? Yes la kan. Well, Happy Wilayah day to you all hard working citizen...hehey that means to me also cause I am living just around the corner from KL and I am "working" in the heart of KL.

Well i have a lot too blog about today but one particular thing i would like to share. The reason i think WHY KL ALWAYS JAMMED. Yes, this is what I want to share, from my observation.

WHY KL ALWAYS JAMMED OVER NOTHING.

I am a simple citizen from Melaka,(okay i dont know how to drive but my husband does and i am always his wingman). Okay Melaka, the town where only jammed on weekends or long holidays. Cause its the historical city. People come and visit Melaka.People in Melaka take driving seriously. They drive when they need too. They avoid places that has a lot of crowd.Thats why during weekends, you dont see Mallaccans out parading. But KL, its like everyday pun ramai orang. 

I have been in KL for 3 months now, and i came  across many situation where the jammed is like ' can eat with bread and butter', but then nothing. No accident, no stalled car, no work going on at the side of the road, no flasher by the roadside. So why people drive slow??...

1. People on phone.- Oh KL people like to drive with their latest android,i phone, blackberry, you name it phone. You see one car in the fast lane suddenly going slow.though he is maintaining the speed but he is definitely slow. Try over taking him. Hmmm on the phone TEXTING lagi. Gila la..i even saw one police car going slow. I thought probably he is on patrol.NOPE TEXTING lagi on phone. I stared at him and if he saw me, i would sure as him to stop at the side. Doh..itu x kira yang bercakap kat phone..lagi la. With facial expression. Kalau tengah gaduh tu, lagi tangan semua naik. You think he is lost but actually he is emotionally on the phone.My sister has that habbit. I get nervous with her!!!

2. I am cool drivers!!- on a busy day, office hours, people rushing to get home you will find one car with lots of cik kak cik kak carpooling in the fast lane but drive slowly sambil melayan lagu Anuar Zain and laughing laughing lagi. You dont believe me, after them the road is clear as the sky!!. I think they are paid to cause slow traffic. Baru la KL nampak cam busy gila and  JAMMED.

3. EH Turn, eh not here, eh eh- Ah ni selalu, tapi i think not their fault cause they were busy on the gadgets when they reach their exit, they forgot so they just swerve in suka-hati-dia-macam-jalan-tu-kosong.Tapi then x jadi turn in that exit and they go out again just like that. After that they drive slow again as they are doing the number 1 thingy..on the phone!! Yes this people causes the people behind them to drive slow cause, you never know when they gonna change their mind. This people had their signal stick kept in a box.

4. I am Strolling.-This one same as the cik kak kes, Yes but only a single driver or maybe a couple so in love. Driving slowly enjoying the polluted air while others around them are rushing home or just wanna get home after a tiring day at work or maybe need to get to their second job!!.

Sometimes its just an old person driving.That i can't say more...just smile,say HI and say. "Macik, to the left to the left. The slow lane is on your left on your left". Hiihihih..

There also different types of drivers on the road. Let me show you how my family would be

#This would be my sister,yes she will tell you off-Courtesy of google.image.

#This would be my husband, frustrated but keep it to himself-Courtesy by Google.image

#This would be my girlfriends, they will curse and swear in the car-Courtesy of google.image

#This is my brother in law.He's always cool-Courtesy of google.image.

And the grand finale.

#MyMusix- Smart in a Stupid Way

#Smart in a stupid Way#

She had eyes like crazy diamonds

Inuit feet of clay

they rolled the windows tight as they would go

It was a smoggy day

She looked up and asked me if I ever had a lover that I did not betray

And I turned on the radio and I looked the other way

She said you're smart, but in a stupid way

Chorus:

And this is the price that you pay

For being smart in a stupid way

You stand there staring while your lover walks away

Being smart, in a stupid way

The doors they close like eyelids

The train just pulled away

Sometimes I smell the perfume that she was wearing that day

And i wonder if there's anyone that i'll ever love in any way

Maybe I'll grow up and be good someday

Maybe this pain I feel will go away

Chorus

And this is the price that you pay

For being smart in a stupid way

You stand there staring while your lover walks away

Being smart, in a stupid way

So why is my heart so hollow

Why are my dreams so shallow

And why don't I ever have anything else to say

And why is my love so far away

Chorus Chorus:

And this is the price that you pay

For being smart in a stupid way

You stand there staring while your lover walks away

Being smart, in a stupid way.
