At 5.55 p.m. yesterday, as I was getting ready to go home (I am punctual like that, yes :P – work finish at 6 ), I received  what turned out to probably be one of the most interesting calls ever.

So my phone rang… and the screen showed “Unknown Number”.

I picked it up…

Recorded Female Voice: Ini adalah banci pendapat.

(I’m not too sure now whether she said banci ke… bancian.. Hehe)

Recorded Male Voice (dengan intonasi penuh bersemangat.. ala2 nak nyanyi lagu patriotik): Parti mana kah yang akan anda undi dalam pilihanraya kecil Kerdau?

Tekan SATU untuk PAS!

Tekan DUA untuk Barisan Nasional!

Tekan TIGA sekiranya anda tidak pasti!

 

 

 

OK… I’m not going to be shy here to tell you guys what I ‘tekan’. Wanna take a guess?

Ok.. I ‘tekan’ this: 

hangup

Of course! :P

wondering how really sesak Simpang Empat Kerdau is right now.

Not feeling too well on Saturday, I decided to take a short nap sometime during the day. Afiq came into my room looking concerned that I was lying on the bed.

Afiq: Mama… Mama nak tido ke?

Mama: Ha-ah la sayang.. Mama rasa tak sihat, kepala Mama sakit. Mama nak tido sekejappp je k?

Afiq: Ohh.. Ok..

 

He came to me, held out his hand to salam, kissed my hand, kissed my forehead and said, “Ok, Mama tido la k? Rehat dulu! Abang main ngan Kakak ngan Adik”

I am one lucky Mama!

Afiq taught Mariessa her numbers last night…

IMG00938-20110217-2008

“what is this, Kakak?”

 (yang nampak rambut tu, tak lain tak bukan Adreena lah. Asal Mama nak ambik gambar je dia mesti nak lalu! :P)

IMG00939-20110217-2008

Afiq: Okay.. Abang tulis, Kakak baca apa yg Abang tulis k?”  - writes 4

Mariessa: FOUR!

Afiq: Good job, Kakak. – writes 3

Mariessa: FIVE!

Afiq: Tengok betul betul! Ni kan three, bukan five!

Mariessa: Tapiiiiiiiiii.. lepas four kan kena five? Yang Abang tulis three tu kenapa???

LOL

IMG00940-20110217-2008

“Three! Sebut betul betullll… Three!”

(Adreena doesn’t want to be left out, of course)

IMG00941-20110217-2008

Hands on Adreena ni!

IMG00942-20110217-2009

“Ok lah, Abang kasi Kakak three star hari ni! Kakak kena belajar bersungguh sungguh lagi tau?”

(Whoa! I don’t think I’ve ever said that to any of them… not as baku as that lah at least”

 

IMG00948-20110217-2014

 

Adreena’s currect favourite book. The book is just as noisy as the reader. :P

 

IMG00954-20110218-0729 IMG00955-20110218-0730

Trying out Kakak’s tudung this morning at breakfast.

 

IMG00949-20110218-0659

Made these for breakfast. Thank you soooo much K-lynn for the easy peasy steps of making these.

 

And lastly, as usual every morning.. guess who’s the most excited?

IMG00956-20110218-0747 IMG00960-20110218-0750

Abang & Kakak baru nak keluar pintu, dia dah siap pakai kasut!

After brainstorming on wherrrrrrrrrrrrrrre-lah to go so the kids can run around, we ended up here:

 

IMG00932-20110215-1748

Errr… I think this place is called Seri Empangan.

(Okay, Mr Google confirms that it IS indeed Taman Seri Empangan, Putrajaya)

IMG00925-20110215-1732

Main attraction for the kids. Adreena was probably trying to figure out how to climb up. :)

 

IMG00926-20110215-1733

“Mama ni, asyik2 nak ambik gambar. Cepat laaaa… Kakak nak main ni!” – pose senyum simpul.

(Adreena is STILL awed by the slides. Can you spot her?)

AfiqCyclingPutrajaya

Afiq learned to cycle totally on his own. We took the training wheels off a few weeks ago as they were broken. He was afraid to cycle without them so I knew he stayed away from his bicycle ever since. But one day I got back from work, tiba2 he announced; “Mama.. Abang dah pandai dah naik basikal Abang. Tak payah roda kecik2 dah pun Abang dah boleh!” True enough, memang terus terror je. Deep down in my heart, ada terselit rasa sedih & sayu.. it’s like coming home one day to discover my baby has started walking and I wasn’t there to witness it. :(

Afiq sayang Mama... I am soooooooo proud of you!

(See that pink bicycle kat belakangggggggg Afiq in the most left picture? Mariessa abandoned her bicycle as soon as she saw the playground! :P)

Adreena??

AdreenaPutrajaya

Well, Adreena did what she knows best…. Walk!

Orang pegi kanan, dia pegi kiri…

Once in a while, depending on their request, I’d print out colouring pictures for Afiq and Mariessa. So last night:

Mariessa: Mama.. malam ni boleh kaler tak?

Mama: Hmmm… OK… boleh.

Mariessa: Yey!

Mama: Kakak nak colour cartoon apa?

Mariessa: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…..Hmmmmmmmmm…. (sambil senyum simpul)… Hmmmmmmmmm… Haaaaaa.. Kakak nak daibalidai!

Mama: Hah? Apa tu? Cuba kakak cakap lagi sekali?

Mariessa: Daibalidai! Mama tak tau ke?

Mama: Daibalidai? Tak pernah dgr pun? Cuba Kakak cakap lagi sekali, cakap slow slow.

Mariessa: Daiiiiii-baaaaaaa-liiiiiiiii-dai!

Mama: Errrr… Abang, Kakak cakap kartun apa ni?

Afiq: DaiDALIDai lah Mama. Yang dalam air tu!

Mama: Eh? Kartun baru ke? Mama tak pernah dengar pun?

Shahril (who’s lying on the bed prentending he was asleep): Dive Dolly Dive! Kartun kapal selam!

(Guess who’s been watching cartoons lately? :P)

Mama: Ohhh… OK… Nanti Mama tengok dulu kalau ada ke tak ok? Abang Afiq… Abang nak colour cartoon apa?

Afiq: Hmmm….. Abang…..

Mariessa: Haaaaa… Abang! Abang! Kakak tau! Abang colour lah.. IGER-TOWN-IRO.

Shahril: Hah? Kakak… cerita apa tu?

Afiq: Iggytown iro la ayah!

Mama: Haaaaaa…. yang tu Mama tau… bukan igertowniro la Abang, Kakak….. Higglytown Heroes!

(Mama = 1, Ayah = 1)

(Arwah Ummi once said that’s the meaning of my name)

I’ve been slacking in updating, I know. So many things I WANT to do, so many things NEEDED to be done.. just so many things. But all’s good, fret not.

Stayed home the whole last week and had fun playing the part of a stay at home mom. Gave Bibik the week off to visit her daughter hence giving me the chance to enjoy the kids. Just me. It was tiring ( I still think being a SAHM is the toughest job on Earth) but it was definitely a week to remember – sending kids to school, spending quality time with Adreena, having Shahril coming home for lunch, all in all, it was heavenly.

Went for my eye checkup again on Friday. To recap, this was my 4th visit to the ophthalmologist. In my first visit, the doctor gave a new prescription for my a new specs as he said the ‘power’ has changed and that might be the cause of my problem. During my 2nd visit, I told him that felt my vision was OK, but the Doctor told me there was a minor infection in my eyes. In my 3rd visit, no more infection, but I complained that my right eye’s vision is not as good and I have difficulty in focusing with my right eye. When he checked, guess what he found out? The estig (silau?) for the right eye has gone right down to ZERO!

Doctor was puzzled as how it can decreased so drastically… but gave me another eye drop to use for 2 weeks.

Nothing changed until my 4th visit. Told him so.. and he said..

“You know… sometimes… it may just be in your mind…”

Huiiiiiii…. Berderau darah rasanya! Dari masuk bilik dia tu penuh sopan santun senyum manis sikit punya, terus rasa nak tersembur api kluar dari mulut! (Tengah menulis ni pun emo lagi, elok2 tulis in English.. terus tukar BM… Kahkahkah!)

Nak je saya sound Doctor tu..”Do you think I’m like FIVE… pretending that I’m sick so I don’t have to go to school?”

Maybe I should have said that since he said this BEFORE checking anything that day, while going through my file.

Tapi, biasalah… saya ni, bila dalam keadaan siaran langsung macam tu… bukannya keluar ayat2 marah… tapi terkedu, sebab marah! So I just kept quiet, knowing the truth will prevail. Chewah!

Selingan – Some 10 years ago, a doctor at my Uni’s Clinic said something to the same effect – that I was pretending I was sick (at 5 am in the morning) so I can escape class. He scolded me for coming to the clinic so early, told me it just a normal stomach ache and told me to go back to my hostel. 12 hours after that I was in an ambulance going to HKL for an appendix operation.

Ok.. flashback tamat..

So, offended as I was by the Doctor’s remark, I just kept to myself lah after that. He checked my new specs… checked my eyes.. checked the specs again.. opened my file again…  and finally said…”the reading is totally different now, for BOTH eyes!”

Masa tuuuuuuuu… nak je saya tanya..”So, it’s JUST in my mind, huh?”

Dipendekkan cerita… as it turned out, the ‘power’ for both eyes have decreased so drastically over the 3 months, and I had no choice but to buy yet another pair of glasses. Will be meeting the doctor again in March, and let’s hope everything will be OK then. (physically and emotionally..:P).
