THE FICKLE MINDED GIRL

I have a daughter who is fickle minded.

Extremely fickle minded.



And her name is Afiqah.

She is so indecisive and inconsistent, that I, her mother, get confused sometimes.

She is almost 4 years old, in embarassment, I have to say that, she still had her milk in bottle. I have tried many ways and tactics to wean her off her milk bottle, but to no avail.

Her answer is very simple - "Fiqah kan masih kecik, kena milk pakai bottle lah!"

Ok, nevermind....

She wants to bathe herself, without my assistane.

Her reason being - "Fiqah dah besar, tahu mandi sendiri lah!"

God knows how long she would take in the shower and how many gallons of water would be wasted!

The Abah loves to tickle and carry her little brother, cause you know, toddlers are adorable and very light to carry at their age. She would be full of envy and would asked the Abah to do the same.

The Abah would answer he could not carry her anymore cause she has grown up.

Her statement - "Fiqah masih kecik lah, abah carry aje lah!"

Every morning, her little brother and I will send her downstairs to wait for her transport to her school. Once we reached the void deck, she would ask us to go back home as she wanted to wait for the bus alone.

She claimed - "Fiqah dah besar, tahu naik bas sendiri. Ummi baliklah, pergi masak!"

Amboi......tak padan kecik kau eh!

But this one conversation that made me realized of the dangerousness of her fickle-mindedness....

Afrina : Ummi, I want one more brother please...
Ummi : Cannot! You have one brother and one sister. Enough already.
Afrina : Kalau gitu, Afiqah kasi orang lain lah, so kakak boleh ada adik baru.

Upon hearing the conversation, Afiqah straightforwardly said...

Afiqah : Yes! Afiqah tak nak jadi daughter Ummi lagi. Nak jadi daughter Mami Indah.

WHAT!!!!!

(Suka ah kau konda!)

Can you believe it??

She can even changed her mind on who's daughter she wanna be!

This cannot happen, man! I am the REAL mother, you know....

But of course, after a while when she wanted her milk in bottle, she said...

"Fiqah busyuk Ummi, nak Ummi sayang! Nak milk pakai bottle, sebab Fiqah masih kecik."

Haizzzzz......Pening aku....

COUSINS' DAY OUT

The four of us are related. We are cousins.

BabyHD and Linda's mums and Lia Neng's father are my mother's siblings.

Though we are very close, it is so difficult to meet up. Even on special events like Hari Raya, we always miss meeting one another.

We make a point the we just HAVE to meet, to catch up with each others' life.

So, we had lunch within my neighbourhood (i liokee!).

Only God knows, how I miss talking to them IN PERSON.....

The food that WE ate.....



The ice-cream that WE shared.....


And the endless fun the WE had.....


Thank you GIRLS for your time. I wish we could spend time together more often, if time permits, INSYAALLAH....

TODAY IS FRIDAY

What!!! It's Friday already....

I could not remember what I've done for the past few days, except listening to THAT CD. Heh..heh... Favourite apeeee....!

Thank you for all the birthday wishes. At this age, birthday was like any ordinary day. Just a simple lunch at Swensen's (where else! maybe because we could get free ice-cream on birthday) with Hubby and the kids.

And thank YOU, for the lovely gift. Errr...You still need to teach me how to use that butterfly thingy *shows innocent face*.

For the record, the mini renovation for my master toilet is yet to be completed. Ayooooo....it seems they take so long to renovate a simple toilet. But I'm ok with it, as long as they do a good job.

How I miss my bedroom and my bed so much....

Due to the renovation of the toilet, no one is allowed to enter the bedroom. Hubby has arranged all the furniture to one side of the room, and covered them with plastic, to minimise the dust on the furniture. As for we, the human beings in the house with very sensitive noses and allergy to dust, are barred to enter the room till the renovation work is over.

Hopefully by Monday, the contractor can finish all the work.

In the meantime....let me enjoy listening to my CD....

IN LOVEEEE WITH HUNTERS...

I could not describe the fun and excitement I had yesterday at Lot 1 Shopping Centre.

Till now, I could not believe it.....

Firstly, I met up with the usual funky ladies, and their hands itchily wanted to get hennaed by the ever famous and talented henna artist Jewel! And I met another talented henna artist too, she's Red - but she's wearing blue....



And....and...and.....

The most exciting part was......

I got to meet my ever all-time favourite local band LOVEHUNTERS!!!!



Aaaauuuuwwwwwwww......Ulala..........

I also got the chance to see them sang LIVE, though without their full set of music instruments, I really enjoyed their show.

I've been their fan since I was in secondary school. And I fell in love with their music the first time I heard them....till now.

And...and...and...

I have their autographed CD album - signed right in front of ME!!!



Haizzzz.....I felt like a teenager falling head over heels with them.

But I still maintain huh....

Heh..heh....

And lastly.....errrr....

Today I am ONE year wiser.....

Oklah....I am ONE year older.

Let me hear the wishes...... :-)

THE 3 RANDOM FACTS

I don't want to talk about the renovation today....

Cause I've been tagged by BQ.

Ok, below are the Three Random Facts about myself you don't know....

1) I put on lipstick EVERYDAY. Even if I just need to fetch my girls from school at the void deck, I still put on lipstick. I never fail to apply lipstick when I leave home. It's a MUST. This is not vain.....I just feel good when I look good. Heh heh....

2) I don't eat TAUGEH!!! Yucks! Don't ask me why. I just can't get myself to bite and swallow them.....

3) I can wake up from sleep easily. The first alarm sound from my handphone could wake me already. In fact, any sound that I heard during my sleep, could make me wide awake. And it's so difficult to sleep back after that....

OK, that's all about me....

Now, these people's turn to reveal about themselves...

1) Salina
2) MummyNZ
3) Rozlyn
4) Madamde
5) MummyTo3

DAY TWO - THE CEMENT AND THE DUST

The contractor did the plastering and laying the wall tiles - only three quarter of the tiles were completed. Tomorrow they will continue the laying and they will do some cutting of the tiles.

This mean, more dusts will be accumulated.

More dusts mean more vacuum, more mopping and more wiping.

Today is the second day of the renovation, and I already feel trapped in my own house.

I am not free to do anything.

Morning, I was trapped in the kitchen.

Noon, I was trapped in the living room - watching tv and viewing whatever channels deem right to Affandy. Haizzzz......

When Hubby came back from work in the afternoon, I was trapped in Affandy's room. At least I can breathe there cause I got the chance to take off my tudung. I also managed to do some ironing.

Hubby also complained about the dust. He also mentioned that.....no more renovation works for this house.

WHAT????

Does that mean that the common toilet will remain unchanged? So no chance for me to change the kitchen cabinets' table top, is it?

Our initial plan was to renovate both the toilets and change the table top. But I suggested that we do the master bedroom toilet first, as its in need of major renovation. Hopefully, we can start savings again and we can proceed to renovate the common toilet.

But since Hubby already said that no more renovation, there goes my plan.....

I really hope that Hubby said it because he was pissed off with the contractor on the way he handled the cement. I really hope that he did not mean it....

DAY ONE - THE DUST AND THE YUCKS!

The renovation for the master bedroom toilet starts today.

The hacking, the drilling, the dust, the noise, the worker...yucks!!

I had to put on my tudung and wore long sleeve t-shirt all day in the comfort of my own house and I was sweating real bad....double yucks!!!

And today Aunt Flow decided to come....triple yucks!!!!!!

Thank goodness Hubby was around the whole day. He did all the vacumming and mopping and wiping.

But tomorrow I will be ON MY OWN!!! With the kids, of course....

Hubby got to work and I have to face strangers in my OWN ABODE. I'm scared....

Makcik, seksa awak dah habis, sekarang kita pulak!!! ARRGGGGHHHHH......!!!!

CRAZY

Add to Edit :

My previous comment box gave me some problems too, so I have to create a new one. For those who left comments in all my previous entries, I'm sorry I could not retrieve it. Please feel free to comment again. Thank you.

**************

I wanted to update since Thursday, but my Internet Explore got sick of me.

I met up for lunch with some crazy ladies on last Thursday. They were my MSN kakis, and they were really really crazy that they drove me crazy.

As these ladies are career women, they were crazy enough to take half day leave just to have fun with me. Ain't that sweet? But how crazy they are, I still love them cause they made my day. They made me laugh, they handled my kids and....I got free lunch!!

The day got even better when another crazy and most funny lady, joined us too. So you can imagine when five already-crazy ladies plus another crazy, witty and funny lady met up, we could rock the restaurant down!

It seems like I have known them all my life, well... one of them I have known for life cause we are related. We can talk about any topics that bother us and I can feel that there are no pretense between us.

After lunch, two of them left while the rest did not want the fun to end, so we set out to have bowling game. We managed to get another friendly lady to join us for a game, and she broke her nail right after she rolled the first ball!! *wink at her*

The most best part was, our Hubbies joined us for the game too!! When crazy wives and their hubbies met, it was another total madness!

Thank you ladies for the fun that we had. We really should spent another crazy day together again.....

BOWLING MOMS

Just imagine, when seven mommies and thirteen kids met up!

Chaos? Lots of commotion? Disorder?

NO.

It was purely fun, enjoyable, entertaining, full of laughter and lots of yak and yak and yak. What else is new?

And it's gonna be much more fun if the rest of the mommies who could not join us today, were there with us. Then we would need much BIGGER makan place to accommodate ALL of us.

This time round, we went to bowl at Safra Yishun, ate at Safra Yishun and SHOPPING at Northpoint. Some of the mommies DID shop, right? Well, at least I DID!

I bought myself a pair of black shoes. Nothing fancy, nothing swanky, just a simple black shoes.

Enough of the shoes, click here to view the photos.

OUR SHORT HOLIDAY

We were supposed to have a short holiday from Saturday till today, as Hubby has taken leave for Monday and Tuesday.

We were supposed to sleep in a hotel, swim in the hotel's pool and have hotel's breakfast.

But no, we did not have all that.

Saturday and Sunday and Monday was spent at my Parent-In-Laws' house at JB.

And today, we brought the kids to swim.

I am not complaining, not even a bit. Errr..just a bit lah, but still I'm contented.

I was given a lump sum of RM$, for me to spent on whatever I want. :-)

But wait! I'm not greedy....I used that $$$ to buy clothes for my kids and some household items.
I only got myself a blouse. And it only costs me RM$29. It was really cheap. It was so cheap, I regretted that I only bought ONE. I should buy more of different colours. But I only thought about that after Hubby drived out of the shopping centre. I'm not sure how he would react if I were to tell him to turn back.

Some pictures of my PIL's house.....


The landscape in front of the house....

With some fishes in the pond....

They even have time to rear chickens....and the chickens lay egg....

Errr...since they stay in JB, so they have to act like them, so patriotic...and belot?. Heh heh...

SEPTEMBER IS HERE

September is a very busy month for me.......

So......

Wake Me Up When September Ends....

*zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*
