lets get art-sy...

there's an art workshop organised by adlan's school today @ 10am... n i already pledged nite before that we wont be late again this time, n guess what.....we reached the school @ 10.08am,iskkk....not bad huh? heheh,i know...we're still late,but not too late coz the event yet to start,hehehe...

there's a short welcome speech by the ms principal herself...then adlan n his other schoolmate were ushered to a designated room,before they were asked to draw on a big white cloth...hehe,at least its akin to the canvas,but cheaper version...ok whatttt....so,without further ado,my boy took out his crayons n color pencils n started to squiggle n doodle like nobody business,isskkk....we were asked to be with our kids for only 30mins,juz to guide them but not to give instruction,hehhe...well,some parent tend to expect their toddler to draw like picasso or our very own reknown artist,allahyarham ibrahim hussein... no wonder our kids now are more stressful by day,coz some parent sometimes expecting too much,n they dont care if their kids are only 3 or 4,or 5,or 6... they juz want another einsten!!

after a good 30 mins (n adlan still squiggling n ruining some of his colleagues's artwork...) we n all the other parents were leads to another room for a briefing as how art can enhanced n stimulates one's brain,esp children ...my husband get so excited bout this that once the briefing is over,he immediately enrolled adlan in one of the art class offered...now we're talking!! hehehe,actually i tried so many times to coax him to let adlan join an art class before,but let juz say seru x sampai lagi...but im so happy today that he could see the advantage of this class could do to a child...its not that i want him to produce an oil painting,enough for him to know how to xpress himself...thats all im asking for...at least with art,he can reduce the stress level n be more productive...its not too much to ask for,rite? am i rite? ...

sushi king...

my two lil' munchkins,they have a way to stand out from the crowd...well,always the attention getter i must say...


some people they're very judgemental...

when they see a breastfeeding mom in public,they will accused her for being immodest,coz she has the nerves to breastfeed her baby in public...

when they see a running-wild-child,they will accused the parent for not instilled a good manners or how to behave nicely in public...

duhh!! kids being kids ok...they likes to abandoned the rules...they like to explore things...n they likes to make noise, n as for my kids,they're no exceptional... iskkk,dunno y im so emotional today...imbalance hormones,maybe,lol....so,cut the long story short....

today we took the kids to have their first taste of sushi,hehehe,i knoww...actually ive this penchant for sushi,unlike my hubby ;) but,because of his undying love towards his darling wife ,he dont mind having sushi,but not to the extend of loving it....before,we've been avoiding this kinda place coz i personally dont think that my kids could juz glued to their sits watching the colourful plates lined up on the conveyer belt,going round n round....but,out of sudden i crave for sushi n today we absentmindedly took them in...hmmm,should have foresee what would come in our way....as always,our kids automatically switched to their active mode,n they are LOUD too... iskkk...but its a shame that i forgot to bring my trusted camera to capture the crazee moment...

adlan so excited to try the sushi at first,but his first attempt failed as he tried on the corn n mayo sushi ...so the verdict? he ended up eating only the corn,n settled with only snow peas instead...like father like son,aight?...hehehe...


and as for my dear adia,she's happily gulped down all kind of sushi that has been offered to her...well,at least we know where she got the interest from,her interest is akin to her mother i would say...hehhe,my gal...galaway gal...

so,eventhough we received a glare of displeasure from other patrons,but hey,who cares,...we're having our family moment there,n as far as im concern,we're not commit to any offense...we're juz like other diners,but only LOUD...thats all...

till then...

late nite ramblings...

so many things to do....so little time....
n yet,so malasss.....

juz recoverd from a major breakout,cause by none other than my clinique's range...iskkk,i totally regret my foolish decision into switching to this product...so,as of today,i am no longer a clinique user...am switching to olay total effect,pronto...as per advised by some of my galfriends (thanx,ladies,really appreciate it...) luv the product,coz 1)its easy to use,juz cleanse n moisturise,no more toner n such,hehhe...save me lotsa time 2)its cheap,people...! so,more money can be save...n made to shop for other things,yayyy!!...

so,enough bout my yet-to-recover-skin...


anyway,lately,ive been in touched with some of my fellow ASTECH-ian....my feeling? a bit scared,but overwhelming i must say...well,i never talked to most of them after my secondary year,iskkk...i know,i took the blame...actually,im not that good in long distance relationship,heheh,meaning keeping in touch (n thats explain y im marrying my office-mate,heheh,go figure....)...so,thanx to my BFF n FB,found some of them,n goshhh...it feels surreal...coz,by now everybody was like changing,some got married n have kids of they own...its so weird,hehehe,coz i can still remember taking shower together2 berkemban (iskkk,i dont think they still doing this now at boarding school,are they? very unlikely....) but indeed,im so happy i found them,or is it the other around? ;p ....

however,there're a part where im kinda hate n always dragged the conversation to something else...when some of them are curious having to know that im not working,iskkk...i wonder why it bother some people so much with me being a stay-home mom? well,its not a criminal,indeed,n i know lotsa people out there who would give anything juz to be with their offspring...to care for their kids first hand...

but,hey,dont get me wrong...im not holding any grudge towards anybody,so no offense k,...it juz that i feels like one need not to judge others happiness or success by solely depend on what positions one's can held,or how dasat one's career is...as long as one is happy with one's life,thats fine with me....im totally cool with it...

anyway,still over the moon seeing all the familiar faces,once again...

till then...

lunch at the deck...

its Valentine's y'all...!!

hehe,well,dont get me wrong,im not a believer nor a hardcore-fan of this so called 'hari kekasih' thingy,...not into a romantic-table-for-two- dinner, enough for me to get a decent card for my darling hubby,coz i think they have this fantabulous 'jiwang karat' card during this day,besss...in a way,it help to stimulate the daily nurtured love.... ;)

as always,i rarely cooked during weekend (its my off day,hehehe...) ...n since adlan said that he want to eat pizza,we went to this place but only to find out that they only open at nite,n fully booked as well... so we headed off to the coffee house instead...the place was kinda packed with people coz its lunch hour,so we opted to sit outside,on the deck,besss....its the view of the once famous malacca straits,if im not mistaken...it was breathtaking,i must say....even my gal get herself soaked in a moment,enjoing the view...

but,as usual,adlan with his drama...he's being crancky,given that he's hungry,but it all changed once his meal arrived...can u see the different expression that he's giving,one minute he's whining n dunno what else...a minute later,he's happily eating his sandwich,pretending like nothing happened...hmm,kids being kids i guess...

me,as always,eager to try something new,has let myself into this peranakan dish,called 'ayam pongteh'...never tried anything like this before,n seems like i will never tried it again,hehehe,nuff said...n as for my hubby,he let himself in this mouth watering pasta,such a pasta man....hehhe...

but,overall the foods are marvellous,...the view are fantastic,...n the most important thing is the time that we spend as a family...to see my two lil' munchkins having fun,esp when they tried to scare a few crows that flew near deck,its priceless...n to have my hubby by my side,im blessed...alhamdullillah with all the love n rezeki that has been given...

still looking pale,but,he'll be fine...

n as for my gal,still had running nose n im still giving her syrup to reduce the hingus...she's a bit crancky today,doing more crying than she normally does,hmmm,maybe its the flue...but it drove me nuts!! hehehe,well,for those who knows me well enough would know the facts that i dont literally have this PATIENCE cels in me,maybe juz a pinch,iskk...i can deal with anything except constant crying,esp. the one without reason,so when this thing happened,i tend to shut my ears n trying to ignore......iskkk,what a terrible mother i am, :( mommy so sorry,baby gal...

my gal's crazee hairdo...

the apples of my eyes...

but at least,they're already in their cheerie mood today...n starts clowning around,if u know what i mean...hehehe...

till then..

futsal's attempt...

today,my hubby has this futsal tournament n it was held at one of the futsal centre in krubung,called sports planet...but the games started early so,i decided that me+kids plus my galfriend+her kids could go there a bit late...

early that nite,my boy has complained of chest pain (he always said that whenever he has this difficulty in breathing..) so my hubby rubbed on some vicks on his chest (my boy also has this slight asthma,which with no doubt was passed it down from me,isskkk...) so,this morning,i gave him some medication to ease the weezing n something for the cough before we went to fetch my galfriend n her two gals...

n so,around 11 something we reached the centre...after finding my hubby, my boy waited no more to join some group of boys whose playing inside the court while waiting for the next game...ive asked him to put on his shoe while we're getting ready at home,but he refused to do so...so,there he was kicking n running with his trusty sandal,iskkk...i was terrified that he might slip n fell down,but luckily my hubby managed to talk to him n make him put on his shoe,in a breeze,iskkk...tq,daddy...

he's running around with his sandal

but not for long,when he said he want to lie down,for as i thought he's getting sleepy because of the medicine that i gave him earlier,so,my hubby took him to the car so that he can rest...but on the way there,he vomitted n was left restless...so,i gather all my stuffs n stay in the car while my boy took a nap,followed by my gal (as she also not in her bubbly mood today,due to flue n nose blocked..) until my hubby finished the game...so much of an active outing,but its ok...im more worried about my kids...

my boy's taking a nap

my gal also not in her usual cheerie mood...

maybe next time my kids can enjoy the fun,but now,all i want was for my kids get well as soon as possible for watching them like this is killing me...

till then...

its her way...

i think my gal has this passion into abandoned my instructions nowadays...dunno y,always caught her in doing something that she's not supposed too...like lately,she's been cycling inside the house,n once bumped to the book shelve n broke one of the pic's frame,isskkk...its my last year's mother's day pics frame,n i luv it to bitss...n its broken... *sighs* no points in scolding her as the damages has been done...let it be...

few days later,after more nagging being done n she's ignoring me still,i turned her bicycle into this rocking chair,so that she'll stucked there in front of the tv,minus the cycling....she did asked me to change it back to bicycle mode,but i juz ignore her,iskkk,but ive left with no choice,before she bumped into other things,...well,its not like we have so many things in this lil' house, ;p

however,few days later she got the message n starting to play with her bicycle outside the house, yeaaaa!!

till then...

mi familia...

few years before my parent are known as a pensioner,they moved back to sg petani,kedah,as they wanna be closed to the other clan,hehehe,they wanted to settle down within the radius of the family members...its kinda nice coz i can visit my tok more frequent than i used to when my parent still at kl...n all of my aunts n uncles juz within reach...

my parent,my lil' sis with my boy n gal...

chilling,kampung style...

my dad insisted on having our foot print in front of the house,like walk of fame...

my dear tok,she hates it very much whenever i took her pics...

at my tok's house,juz before we left for malacca...

Note : well,if u were happens to notice,my lil's sis n i (on my previous entry) are wearing the same tudung, hehehe,actually,its hers...we always do that,n sometimes with our mama too...well,its gal's stuff,btw,sharing is caring rite.... ;p

till then..

my long lost bedmate...

toon n me...

(mind my bareface,i hate putting on make up nowadays...)

i still remember back then,it was my first nite at ASTECH,still teary eyes coz it was my first time sleeping in a dorm with no one that i knew of...

well,since im arriving later than others (last minute shopping for the essentials,what else...as usual le,im trying to delay the time,isskk...sod off!!) so most of the bed has been taken...i was left with an upper bed (its the bunk bed,like any other hostels...that was positioned to 2-2-1 )...not knowing whose my bedmate will be...untill,later...

my bedmate,she's an average gal...a bit skinny,fair n has this short n curly hair...she's from gurun (nah,not the desert,its the name of a place,bout 45mins from alor setar,if im not mistaken.. ;p ) she's a firstborn herself,so,we have something in common..so,as the days go by,we become friend...n later,good friend...n by end of my year's there,she's become my best friend,no doubt bout it...eventhough,we're not in the same class,nor course...her name was saidatun atifah,n i called her TOON (pronounced to'on..)..well,i believe its her fault,coz at first everybody was calling her TUN untill she suddenly, out of nowhere spelled her name in this fancy manner...so,us (the rest of the gang) has absent mindedly ruined her hope of having a cool name,lol...but hey,its unique if u asked me,luv it, ;) ...

she's a brave gal,hehehe,whilst im the chicken one,lol...still remember there's one nite when suddenly i feel the urged to 'go' (if u know what i mean,hehehe...) so,me being the scaredy cat,ive no other choice than to wake her n accompany me to the washroom...without asking question,she juz waited for me at the stairs near the toilet with her trusty bantal busuk n eyes closed,iskkk...

however,during my second year,we're not in the same dorm anymore,how sad...n eversince then,i never slept in my bed ;P .. 1)i dont gel with my dorm mate,hardly talked with them 2)toon has this mosquito net,so bes giler,hehhe... 3)in the morning i juz wake up n back to my dorm without having to made the bed,be it mine or her,heaven, ;o (well,actually pemalas ... ;p )

somehow,after schools end,i went back to kl n while trying to sort out my teenage life i failed to keep in touch with the people thats dear to my heart....till recent CNY holiday...we met at my mom's house since she's now living at sg petani as well...boy,am i glad that she got my number from one of our friend n get the chance to meet again...she's change,phyisically (hehehe...still hard for me to digest that she can be that big,hehe,oppss,sorry toon,but luv u still,hehe...) she's married with one jovial n bubbly lil' gal name dania...but,deep inside,she's still the same gal i knew back in 90's...we had a good laugh,as we go down the memory lane...but,she couldn't stay for long as her husband has something else to attend too...so,we agreed to meet again....

n i told myself after she left,ive to make an effort to keep this ties going...ive too...

till then..
