The Ups dan Downs of Life

Today is one of my down days. I feel like going home and never come back so I don't have to face the harsh reality. I even googled Rezeki, in search of something to keep my spirit up, and I found this.

"Sesuatu yang telah dijamin oleh Allah kepada seorang hamba adalah rezeki. Sesuatu yang dimintakan pertanggungjawaban oleh Allah adalah rezeki juga"

I guess it's not my time, yet.

Downtime aside, I'm sooo looking forward to this weekend! With 2 birthdays; Uzey's and Yantie's.. (happy birthday in advance darlings!), Ilham's first Petr0sains trip, an advance M0m's day feast (there goes my penat-penat daily run on the treadmill), shopping and more shopping!! Won't be in until 7th. Too bad I've gotta give my weekly yoga a miss next week.

Life is not so bad, after all. Penatlah nak pikir benda-benda yang takde faedah ni.. draining my energy..

Selamat Hari Buruh, buruh-buruh sekalian!!!

The 100 Whys..

That is Ilham. I guess he has reached his Inquiring Phase, "mama, kenapa ....(insert soalan)" followed by "kenapa.. (insert my answer)..." then "kenapa..(insert my next anwer)"... and then.. "kenapa..(insert my next, next answer)" and the conversation goes on and on and on until his attention is diverted to something else.

Oh, the joy of talking.

And Ihsan, he is such an eater! Bagi nasi + pumpkin, okay. Nasi + sweet potato, okay. Nasi + carrot, okay, nasi + brocolli, pun okay. My oh my, give him another month and I'm sure he will be heavier than Ilham!

Oh, the joy of eating.

Work-wise, things have not been slowing down. Even after the big event. Nak tengok gambar artis? Go here. If Siti Nurhaliza can ambik gambar with Celine Dion, Ilham pun bleh amik gambar ngan artis gak :-p

But I survived emceeing in front of 1500 ppl! Tak kisahla orang cakap suara cam guru besar pun. What de heck. As long as I got my job done.

I'm off to the Spa now.
Bliss!!!

Our New Baby

Congrats Enn & Kord for their newborn Akif.

Playing Maid

Weekend felt like a vacation! Went to the beach 2 days in a row to play kite with Ilham and took him swimming at Awan@ on Saturday.

Had my first taste of being a maid last Sunday.
Maybe with some exceptions; the maid didn’t finish Shopaholic and Baby in one sitting, and maid does dirty dishes and laundry , I did not.

But I’m now able to understand my kids better ; Ilham is a full-time clown, providing free entertainment to Ihsan. He jumps, he dances and sings and Ihsan looks so amazed with Am’s skills (or lack of it) and his round eyes were fixed on Am, in a way macam nak cakap “nyanyilah lagi Am”. And with 4 soiled nappies, well, I never knew siblings poo one after another. They take turn, they really do.

The last time I had my hands full with both of them was during my end of 3 month break, and at that time Chan was still an immobile baby, able only to wave his hands. Now he’s everywhere! I can’t put him in the playpen coz the space is too limited and he will protest. When put him on the ‘toto’ in front of the TV , he keeps licking the seam of the toto. If I put him on the tilam he will try to reach for the floor. If I put him in his chair he will squeeze himself out of it. If I put him on my lap while net surfing he will wrestle with me. Last nite he pulled out my Page Down key and benda tu tercabut.

When Uzey finally reached home, I looked like a desperate starving housewife. Kebulur coz I only managed to gulp down a mug of cold Milo and 1 piece of bread cicah sup. Luckily I had some left over soup from the weekend.

Kepada semua bibik2 di luar sana (fazie, in case bibik kau layan blog haha), teruskan kerja anda yang mulia itu (provided you are really into it) dan jagalah anak-anak majikan anda dengan sepenuh hati. Me? Given any day I will never be a stay at home mom (kalau anak satu, maybe… kalau 2… I’ll think about it) tee..hee…

Updates on Ichan:

Started solid last week. Blended rice porridge works fine with him and tak trigger his eczema. Rice + brocolli is his fav, though he had rashes first time trying the new menu a.k.a. nasik ijau as Am calls it.

Have a good weekend people!!!!!
