New Toys on The Block

The boys are into Lego Hero Factory these days. (after ultraman, hotwheels, transformers - to name a few). Something they'd found out while you-tubing. Kids these days eh?

And despite it's Ramadhan and despite he's fasting, Iman still brings money to school. At times he buys things for himself. Sometimes he buys things for his friends. And at times, he buys things for Kakak or Adam. Of late he refuses to bring his usual dose of pocket money. Saya nak simpan duit Ummi. Nak beli Hero Factory.

:D :D 

In no time the boys collection have grown into a family of five. Surge, Splitface, Evo, Toxic Reapa and Furno. See what they've done to me.. :P We don't really mind buying actually. Every each comes in bits and pieces and they have to assemble according to enclosed instruction leaflet. Motor skill. Jog their mind. And now they have gone a phase further, assemble not according to instruction and do their own versions of hero. Way to go boys, way to go..

Gardening La Pulakk!!

My 9th day of TSAHM. Not really staying home but staying away from the office as a matter of fact. This new thing (of TSAHM) bores me and excites me at the same time.

So, what have I been up to today? Garderning! Among the thing I love doing. Jom tengok gambar..

After fetching up Iman from Ampang Hilir, we made a small u-turn at a T-junction near Cheras Perdana to get to this small nursery. Small but enough. The name's ARTECH Home DECOR. As what is written on the signboard, it sells plants, water feature, garden's ornamental, wood carvings and some other items. Dekat belah-belah depan tu, all you can see is pokok-pokok, too beautiful to refuse. Bila masuk dalam, banyak ornamental for gardens yang sangatttlaaaahh menawan daku and finally wood carvings for wall deco. The one I like fetches RM1.8k in price. So, just forget it lah kan.




I bought 3 hanging pots of pink petunia (rasanyalah, kalo tak silap) color of Iman's choice. Now hanging on the left side of our porch. I used to have these before but they died in no time. Hope these, panjang lah umurnya..



This one is bought from Carrefour. Beautiful isn't she? Sold for RM9.90.



I also hang a new wind chime. In blue porcelain, onto a carved, wooden wall hanger. Jenuh nak menukul ke tiang tu.. At one point, the nail refused to budge at all, I may have hit the steel rod inside kot. Tu ada gap inbetween tu.. such an eyesore kan.



This bird cage has had some carving at the bottom part but was ruined lepas jatuh atas porch during heavy rain. Acik buang semua bahagian bawah and alihkan kat pokok kemboja. We keep the closure open, kononnya nak kasi burung datang... tadok sekor pun berminat heh heh.



This is my small garden. Nothing much has changed since the day we upah orang to do it. Tu kain langsir acik tengah sidai kat pagar, lepas berbulan-bulan tak basuh. The same old curtain since the day we moved in 7 years ago. Wahh... tak sangka acik ni ekonomikal jugak orangnya heh heh.




Yang ini pulak kumbang di taman acik ya. Kumbang kecik yang kuat menyengat. Tengok dahi nun, dah bertampal pasal terhantuk kat meja akibat menbuat lompatan-lompatan terlarang... :P

TERRENGG

Acik tension okay.

Tadi ada meeting pukul 4.30 - 6.30pm. Kena balik sendiri sebab En Tebby kena stay back sampai malam. Keluar dari parking lot hujan, dekat Bangsar nak menghala ke Pantai Dalam jem amat. Sampai kat tol BESRAYA, keta depan guna Touch-N-Go. Dia boleh touch tapi tab bleh go. Acik plak betul-betul belakang dia. Acik undur sikit, pastu ada mamat kurengg dari mana tah menyelitkan keta dia in between keta acik dengan keta depan tadi. Fadan muka okay, nak potong Q, sudahnya sama-sama kena reverse. Acik masuk lane sebelah kanan, dia terpaksa menyelit kat belakang daku nyeh nyeh nyeh.

Sampai BTHO, ambik Iman terus balik rumah. Tak lama lepas tu, tragedi berlaku. Kakak tinggal sirap bandung satu gelas atas meja. Adam nak ambik. Iman tak bagi. Rebut punya rebut, Adam mandi air sirap. Habis bab sirap, berebut mainan pulak. Dalam acik menenangkan dua budak berebut, si Kakak mengadu cikgu suruh tulis surat kata dia asthma. Pastu kena hafal sirah 7 mukasurat. Pastu dia mintak tengokkan homework Math dan Sains dia. Masa tu, acik ni tudung pon belum buka lagi! Acik naik atas mandi, Iman ikut nak mandi sama. Walhalkan kat taska dah mandi siap.

Dalam peristiwa yang tak berapa berkaitan, Isnin minggu lepas, colleague acik datang dengan kening berkerut. Sebenarnya extra kerut sebab dia ni memang suka mengerutkan keningnya. Jangan marah Zarid he he. Tension katanya. Acik sajeskan dia start a hobby to vent out her tense. Masalahnya sampai hari ni acik rasa dia belum jumpa apa hobi dia nak buat (sekali lagi jangan marah). Maklumlah dia ni busy manjang, kalau ada hobi pun mungkin tak sempat nak execute. Nak fikir hobi dia apa pun mungkin dia takde masa.

Jadi.. saya terfikir eloklah saya execute hobby saya time saya tension ni. Saya suka menjahit! Ini cinta pertama saya (where hobby is concerned). Malangnya it's been ages since I last sew anything significant. In fact baju kurung terakhir saya, dah tak muat nak pakai dah pun! Antara yang saya terfikir...

1. Jahit slipcover extra untuk sofa - amboi.. amboi.. sofa belum sampai, angan-angan dah jauh nampak?

2. Jahit baju kurung - saya ada more than 10 helai kain yang belum menjadi baju. but if I were to start now, raya nanti sepasang pun belum tentu siap lagi... so... kensel

3. Jahit seluar tidur - yang ni appealing. sebab pertama, bahannya dah ada. kain dah beli. seluar tidur untuk Adam dan Iman. who knows, one day I won't have to buy my favourite TERRENZE anymore and flaunt my home-sewn pants instead (berangan takpe kan, free je)

So, I decided to try out no 3. Buka buka PANDUAN MEMBUAT PAKAIAN tulisan Mariam Abu Bakar. Ambik section Slek. Mak oiii... nak buat seluar from scratch punyalah banyak nak kena measure. Kalau kena tenun kain sendiri, mau pitam acik nak nyiapkan seluar selai. Yang nak dimeasure ni pulak semuanya hak tak duduk diam. So? Ambik seluar Adam, tiru je dari situ he he. Solosaii!!

book which I had tried to refer to..
kensel.

when will I ever get to do something from this book?
after 1 1/2 years?

slek = slack = pantalon = pants?

mak aihh.... banyaknya nak kena measure?

Dalam kesibukan saya menengokkan Math si Kakak sambil menepis serangan Iman yang sebok nak menjahit sama (Adam dah tidur masa tu), makanya siaplah... taraaaaaa..... seluar tidur untuk anakanda tercinta, Adam. A far cry from TERRENZE (for now or for ever?), mungkin TERRENGG lebih kena kot. More Terengganuspeak dan kena dengan tema nak balik Kampung Losong minggu depan!

one for Adam.. seluar ala-ala mat kacau

Boys Will Be Boys

Adoilah. Like father like son. Iman refused to sleep last night at the time he was supposed to be in bed. Blame it on Tebby.

Iman, bought himself an Ultraman, a complete set with a little monster. Kira boleh main fire-fire lah. Tebby, bought a set of Gundam. The kind of thing that you need to assemble. From the moment we stepped in back home, Iman has started bugging Tebby to start assembling the thing. Tebby, tho he was complaining about it, I think he was more than willing to start. Adam, of course was interested in checking in all things that we do, get to gomoi the kotak only. They only stopped for prayers, an evening joy, a trip to clinic for Adam's neb session. Otherwise he'd be assembling that thing. Under close supervision of Muhammad Iman. It was finally complete at midnight. Satisfied with the final output, then only Iman went to bed. *sigh*

This morning, we woke up at 6.20! Apa lagi, kelam kabut makcik okay. Kakak pun bawak bekal roti je hari ni hu hu.

Iman brought that thing along to Atfal today. I just hope Gundam will be back home in one piece!
