Us, Year 6

Alhamdulillah..

Phuket 2004 / Boston 2008
Despite the obvious body size changes, the pose is still the same.




Aiza's Abode early 2005 / Hafidz's wedding early 2006
Despite the mess we did, the laugh is still hysterical.




Raya 2006 / Raya 2009
Despite color divergence, raya still merry.




Bandung 2005 / Bali 2010
Despite little we have, we cope.





Iman Ghazi 2009
Despite the disappointments (to get me pregnant & be pregnant) we had Iman.


Despite all, I Lap U **blushing**

Untuk Iman

Iman

Terkadang Mummy lupa, penat jerih itu besar balasannya
terdetik dihati letih
Terkadang Mummy leka, rengekan itu bermakna padamu
tersangka mengada yang panjang
Terkadang Mummy alpa, apalah yang anak kecil tahu
terkata pedih
Terkadang Mummy selfish, mengejar hiasan dunia tak berpenghujung
terpinggir sendiri

Iman

3 tahun ini
kalau ada yang berbekas dihatimu nak
Mummy berdoa agar yang berwarna indah

Selamat hari lahir Iman

Mummy mahu jadi yang baik
Mummy akan cuba

A Year Older

yes, I'm a year older 2moro. Iman been singing 'happy birthday untuk mummy...' and i can't help but weep. my baby sing birthday song to me... it still hard to digest. ever grateful.

to chenta, thank you.
to my bapak and mak, thank you.
to you, thank you.

i wish to be a better me.

I am OLD

I'm a year older yesterday. In my head, I'm still 28 and it stops there.

To note this, 3 of us had not so cozy dinner at Pavilion. Iman was behaving unmanageably. He played with the daughter of the restaurant owner, throwing balloons everywhere - disturbing other patrons, stumbled with the waiters and all. We constantly had to apologize to people. Not only we had to take turn eating, the fact that the food wasn’t that tasty and cold really upset me.

I tried hard not to think that Iman spoilt my day. Watching him had fun playing with that little girl somehow touched my heart deeply. It just that I pictured the night differently.

Later that night i can't help but to feel for my mother for that she is the one who brings me to this world. For what she’s been through, I think she deserve the celebration more that me. And I promise myself to care for her even more, support her in every way that I can. Love you Mak!

This picture never failed to bring tears in my eyes.

To my dear friends from near and far, thank you for the thoughtful wishes. For someone who made a special entry for nobody me, thank you, thank you.

4th? gulpp..

Happy 4th Anniversaries to Mummy & Abah Iman(nak juga dia!)

It is only natural now to look back over the past 4 years. hapiness, iman, and yes we do fight, and my anger sometimes as big as that tractor tyre and his respond just like that menuai machine. but at the end of the day we will find each other. and now its time to condsider what the future will be like.

Here's to wonderful years ahead!

June Rendezvous

June 13, 2007

It has been a really long months (may-june) as I had to juggle between works and family. Works was and will be dull and boring as always. Oops, but ya, I kind of hating my job sometimes. No, no!, not hating my family! Oh please, they are the best of me! I had a really sad entry about a family member who were diagnosed with cancer (explains the juggling, frequent visits to hospital/BIL’s house and all) but decided to defer the post after such a great time I had with Chenta. Kami berdating! Our last dating at this very same place Ikano & The Curve was last March! It was supposedly my birthday outing but turned out a bit uncomfortable for me as I just infected with chicken pox! Itchy! Managed to have dim sum at Eden, and had a super duper heavy tea at Paddington Pancake after watching 300!.

Anyway, we started early this time. Infact, it was too early as most of the shops hasn’t opened when we reached there!. Duh! After browsing rows after rows at Cold Storage, we had breakfast at X1 a famous kopitiam from down south. We had our toast and that was it because the waiter told us, ‘Abang, air yang panas semua tak ada, air sejuk sahaja ada. Kami belum siap lagi, the chef is late.’ What is coffee shop with no hot coffee? Duh! duh! Moved downstairs and had our half-boiled egg and soya at another kopitiam X2. While waiting for the eggs, we sneaked to an organic shop entah tak ingat nama apa checking their baby food range. None pass Chenta’s justification of good healthy baby food. Finished our bf and headed to X3 to watch Shrek!. Emm this green creatures and friends failed to make me feel worthy of taking a day break from work!. Ya lorr dating buat apa lagi kalau tak tengok movie n makan2!. The dialogue and main quips are mainly aimed for adults and sophisticated kids. The most kiddy humor is on the burp or fart or yucky dining habits, Shrek’s way!. if not for the guilty of leaving Iman with baby sitter, I would rather wait another hour to watch Captain Jack.

Then the best part of the outing, m.a.k.a.n. at X4. Been reading reviews of this place many times. True enough, the ribs were excellent! Sampai menjilat tulang temulang! Can’t finished the onion loaf, It was good but the portion was too huge for us both. Sambil makan sambil updated each other of juicy office gossips, discussing this and that, Iman, future plan, Iman, holidaying, Iman and Iman lagi.

With filled stomach we headed to mind therapy spot. A book store. Got me a reading material to keep me occupied for emm a month? Singgah pula di Ikea – looking for good bargains at As It Is. worthless. And after browsing here and there for a couple of minutes, balik.

which X goes to which outlet?

Emm..as a normal woman, my day felt deeply satisfying after the great time with Chenta and indulging on movie, foods and books. What else can I say.. things couldn’t be more satisfying and we plan to make it as our monthly agenda. Ye la…over ambitious la pulak kan…dua tiga bulan sekali pon dah baguih!

Time to pick up our little munchkin!

mummy's day!

i always thought i wanted to be a writer…but i hate what i write! then i tried taking pictures…it helps me remember…i need to remember..but chenta’s so good at that, and mine are so dreary. i just don’t know what I’m supposed to be.
but then i got so jealous reading other people’s blog and keep thinking someday i’ll have my very own space to write so that i’ll remember.

so, what’s for today? let’s remember mother’s day.

this was my 2nd year of celebrating mother’s day. the 1st one was just few weeks after iman’s arrival. i still remember vividly…the pain form c-sec was horribly beyond words, the sore of my nipples, the tiny demanding iman, the sadness for not having chenta around. and then my dear aunty came, she said, hey, you’re a mother now, happy mother’s day to you. I was like…emmm thank you! the feeling was all mixed up! I’m a mother! M.O.T.H.E.R!. minus a few attempts of not so successful breastfeeding, I haven’t done anything ‘mother’ yet, and yet all the other mothers around me keep wishing happy mother’s day….how pengelat was that?


this year was a different story. iman already 1. no, not that I’m already a competent mother (am still learning and striving to be competent) but good enough to celebrate mother’s day at least to chenta and iman. no, not that we had grand celebration, just a humble eating out and small present (no 20), that was it. chenta repeatedly reminding iman to behave well as it was kekonon a special day for me, and sang a funny tune of self-invented mother's day song entah lagu apa da.. while iman did the 'abbah' again and again. i was trying hard to correct him, 'mum!'.


the special celebration was for my mother. Pn Hjh. Senah Hj. Abd Majid. adik sayang Mak. later!
