Big B

Eventho kami baru dapat bonus last week, this entry tidak lah berkaitan dengan bonus sempena pencapaian tahun 2008.

Empat Big B kali ni jauh lebih bermakna dari bonus yang diterima. Mungkin sebab ia tak boleh dinilai dengan wang ringgit.

Big B yang pertama berkaitan dengan Kakak. Alhamdulillah, peperiksaan Fasa 1 2009 keputusannya menunjukkan peningkatan. Saya tidak membandingkan dia dengan orang lain, dia mungkin bukan pelajar no 1 kelasnya. It's more like she's competing with herself and not with others. Not yet. Matematiknya, yang mana sebelum ini agak lemah, telah meningkat lebih 70%. Bahasa Melayu dan Saince scorenya 80% ke atas. Bahasa Inggeris salah satu saja! Langsung dapat 98%. Alhamdulillah. Dapat saja keputusannya, cepat saja saya SMS abahnya di London. Cepat juga abahnya SMS semula, dengan penuh kesyukuran!

Big B yang kedua pula berkenaan Iman. Iman mula 'sedar' wujudnya dunia lain selain his own little world sebelum ini. Dia sudah mula berminat untuk bercakap. Sudah pandai mengadu!

'Ummi, kakak cubit'

'Ummi, kakak tipu'

Tapi awas kalau dia over-excited, abis keluar semula bahasa jerman dia tu!

Dia dah kenal 3 shapes -> circle, triangle dan square.

Dia sudah boleh bandingkan yang mana besar dan mana yang kecil.

Warna masih belum.

Pelan-pelan... itu nasihat psychiatrist.

Dia juga sudah pandai melukis 'orang lidi'.

Pertama kali dia tunjukkan saya, menitis air mata saya!

Big B yang ketiga pula berkaitan Adam. Giginya sudah 6. Makin galak ketawa-ketawa. Pandai mengajak orang bergurau dengannya. Awas kalau dia kenyit-kenyitkan matanya. Itu tanda dia nak mula bergurau. Once he starts, habis digigitnya kita nanti! Kalau dihalang atau dikatakan 'jangan', dia turut sama geleng kepala sambil kata 'nanak'. Comelkan. Kalau orang bercakap, paling suka masuk campur. 'Nasi tambah', kata abahnya.

Big B yang keempat pula ialah, En Tebby has landed in Malaysia dan sudahpun berada di rumah. Kami masih belum bertemu selepas 10 hari berpisah. Tak sabar tunggu 5.30pm.. nak balik...

Yang, For U

Aku ingin menjadi mimpi indah dalam tidurmu
Aku ingin menjadi sesuatu yg mungkin bisa kau rindu
Karena langkah merapuh tanpa dirimu
Oh karena hati tlah letih

Aku ingin menjadi sesuatu yg selalu bisa kau sentuh
Aku ingin kau tahu bahwa ku selalu memujamu
Tanpamu sepinya waktu merantai hati
Oh bayangmu seakan-akan

Kau seperti nyanyian dalam hatiku
Yang memanggil rinduku padamu
Seperti udara yg kuhela kau selalu ada

Hanya dirimu yg bisa membuatku tenang
Tanpa dirimu aku merasa hilang
Dan sepi, dan sepi

Selalu ada, kau selalu ada
Selalu ada, kau selalu ada

Notes To En Tebby

Salam.

We're missing you. Kakak has been asking when you're coming back. Iman kept on saying 'Abah? Abah?'. Adam is his usual-self, smiling and all.

Iman drew! Orang katun with head, legs and hands. With big smile too. I thought Kakak did that (well.. knowing Iman kan..) until I saw him drew that himself. Way to go Iman. Too bad you missed that. Too bad I did not have the camera with me. And too bad you did not take any photos yesterday! Since his return from kampung, he's been driving me up to the wall. He's just getting smarter I guess.

Kakak was all good girl, the way she is. She kept on insisting to know if she's special and if we love her. You knowlah how melodramatic she can be at times kan. She's been eating well (like always), helps around with the chores and always, always keeps Adam away from the kitchen. Much to Adam's irritation. Do you know that Adam screams nowadays? Well, he does. He shrills, to be exact. And oh, that big girl of yours, she's 28kg already.

The last of the clan, Adam is one good boy. Masalahnya he loves exploring the kitchen. Semalam, I do not know how many bawang he took. Wan said, Adam knows how to carry himself. He doesn't disturb others and knows how to play by himself. Unlike his brother last time.

Enough about us here.

So how's things there in London? Kakak told me, you told her, it was windy yesterday and it was cold. I don't know what to pesan you to get for me, still. Maybe a few silk scarves from Tie Rack would be fine. I don't know. Don't forget Elmo and Kikkor, if you see them there, please get one for Adam and Iman.

Need to sign off now.

Have a good trip.

Menjawab Soalan Mama Arif

menjawab soalan mama arif..

Iman hadir sesi OT dan ST di Gleaneagles Intan, Ampang.
OT - RM 108 satu sesi. About 1 jam.
ST - RM102 satu sesi. About 1 jam.
Seeloknya buat weekly tp sbb saya bekerja, saya kena sesuaikan jadual dia dgn jadual ofis saya juga.

Dulu tanya juga Prince Court.. jauh lagi mahal.
OT - RM 180 satu sesi.
ST - RM 150 satu sesi.
Mgkn info dah obsolete. Untuk kepastian, contact Prince Court, minta sambung ke Rehab Department.

email me for further info, I'd be happy to help where I can. ti10982[at]yahoo[dot]com.

It turned out that when I was about to place my order, only COOL and FLAMINGO were available so, COOL it is then. Betullah Smah, imagine kalau beg kaler oren or pink gitu, kalau En Tebby bawak?? Tak sesswaaiiii...

Kalau yang ini, konfem tak sessswaaiii kalau daku yang drive nya..

pst: baru peringkat angan-angan ye, kawan-kawan

Happy 10 Months Old Adam

Here's Adam. Today is he is 10 months old. He just started crawling few days back but back to menyulur when he gets a bit over excited. He has been climbing and standing (with support) long time ago. He can also stand while waving one little hand at you.

Offered him something he doesn't want and he'd shake his head side to side. Take something he likes, away from him, he'd lie down and roll over like nobody business.

He has 4 teeth, with another 2 making their way. He babbles, he cooes, he makes that raspberry until you are wet from his saliva.

He has good appetite and has started on food with more texture with variety of taste. Papers, pencils, included. And oh, he bites too.

He refused to lie down in his infant seat anymore. Obviously he's not an infant anymore. We've just upgraded his infant seat to proper toddler car-seat. The seat is a little too roomy at the moment. Even his cookie can sit comfortably with him in there!

Hard to believe, but in just 2 months time, my baby is going to hit his one-year mark.

Allerhand Family Backpack

tolong...
saya mengidam..
walaupun tak mengandung..

my choice would be either sunflower, cool or urban. a monotone, dull person like me rasanya would end up with 'cool'. itupun sebab 'black' and 'pure brown' tu not available. (well, they do actually, in Mothercare but was selling for RM380++ with only 5% discount)

nevertheless, opinion?
