:: .. ::

2-3 menjak nih, afiq selalu demam malam. during the day, dia ok, tapi malam masa tgh tido, his temperature can go up to 39++. normally akan subside immediately after kasi pcm. but it didn't happened last 2 nights. kasik pcm + suppository baru turun.

so yesterday morning, we sent him to ER for check up. nak jumpa paedtrician actually, but dr fully book. before pegi hospital, we stopped by dekat levain, a precious gem hidden in jalan delima for a breakfast. boleh tahan sedap. masa sampai tuh, lengang jek, tapi by the time we all balik, penuh gila. food was not bad, and reasonably priced.

hari nih sepatutnya nak pegi pusat sains ngan bff with kids, but since afiq is not in his best condition, i have to pull off. sorry sal! sure best kalau dapat pegi bawak kids for edutainment.

ok la people. see you later!

:: Kids & Progress ::

kids enjoyed their very first school event at school last wednesday. the school hosted a CNY dress up day. kids pergi skolah wearing CNY outfit. ada lion dance at school, and they enjoy it. lucky OH for being able to attend when i was stuck in the office management meeting. dang!

alhamdulillah, i've started the kids on muqaddam already. i know i'm far than late compared to my friends like sheri yang very dedicated with her kids. (i envy your patience sheri, seriously, and i adore adam's achievement so much!) but i don't want to stay late forever, that both me and OH gave a start last 2 weeks on muqaddam.

Masya Allah! how kids act like sponge! sangat true! afiq master the alif ba ta in almost a week. adib belum habis lagi. (we have to teach them separately and learn to treat them individually. they're unique human being after all despite being twin). it takes the two of us to teach both of them, sebab they can't sit to each other. tak focus! there are times (many times in fact) that my patience were tested, and my voice hit the highest desibel. but then, when they started to grab and digest the letters, the feeling susah nak describe!

kay la people. weekend dah nak start. makanya hari memasak pun bermula. apa la aku nak masak esok..

:: A Happy Weekend ::

rabu ni ada CNY dress up day @ the twin's school. parents are encouraged to attend. huwaa. i so want to go, tapi itu hari ada meeting! hoping and crossing my fingers that the meeting will be cancelled. first event diorang tuh! (mak twin yang kedekut berbelanja dengan berhemah dah beli baju CNY kat giant kelana jaya@ RM15 only. thanx to aju!)

last weekend, seperti biasa, spent time with kids. went out to MV on saturday dan telah berjaya memujuk OH untuk makan² di Chili's. weewo! sudah lama gila tak makan kat chili's. kids enjoyed it so much. alhamdulillah.

lepas lunching dekat chili's. head to JJ pulak nak cari gift utk nephew officemate. officemate hosted a birthday party that evening untuk her first nephew.(untungnya dapat mak sedara cenggini!) birthday tepi swimming pool, food were delicious & it was such a windy day that evening that the cupcakes toppled! but all in all, happy sebab mommy tak payah masak! eheheheh.

since dah berhuha on saturday, maka seharusnya ahad berada di rumah & settlekan housework yang menimbun. started the day with making breakfast, aidin's one week porridge supply (phew!) & marinated the fish that i intend to grill for dinner. SIL organized a birthday party for my nephew who turns 1 that noon, sekali lagi, mommy yang malas kepenatan terselamat daripada memasak. ngee!

bila tgk nephew turns 1, teringat la anak sendiri pun akan turn 1 in 5++ weeks time. rasa cam terlebih excited pulak nak plan macam² for aidin's first birthday bash. dok fikir apa la kek yang nak dibuat. nak gambar apa. rasa cam nak buat sesame street theme, with elmo as centerpiece, sekali bila tanya si abang aka afiq, he said, "GROVER!" menarik gak tu. nanti la mommy pikir.

okay la people. i had a wonderful weekend this week. though tiring, but i'm happy i got the chance to spend time with kids. being a working mom, with three kids and no helper, it left me with too little time to spare with the kids at home. hence, that's the reason why, i hate it soooo much when i'm instructed to work during weekends. it's not that i'm being 'tidak profesional' in working, but i believe 5 days for work, is good enough. kids need me too after lending me to the working institution 5 days a week.

da!

:: Weekend Datang Lagi. Selamat Gosok Baju! ::

i've been busy with work (ayat coverline) but manage to contain the stress at minimum level (dengan bantuan gajet² canggih juga peranan para sahabat dalam ilmu² mencari makan. ngee!) lebih bersikap take one thing at a time compared to before. chill. harus jaga kesihatan.

weekend is coming up, means, sudah mula perlu fikir menu berderet² untuk weekend. oleh kerana otak sudah hang dek kerana terlalu selalu memikir apa yang nak dimasak pada hari wiken (sangat la kan?), mak decide mak nak masak japanese food saje. simple and healthy. (dasar pemalas lagi la kan? tu kira baik la mak plan nak masak tempura & grilled saba & salmon, kalau buatnya mak kata buat sashimi saje, cemana? konfem aku punya ration beli kat kedai tomyam. haha)

tapinya, mak cuma berjaya fikir untuk one dish saje. dish lain guane? makan telur goreng kicap sudeh la. kalau tak pun, kelip² mata pada cik suami untuk bawa makan di luar. (lagi senang, tak yah kemas dapur. hehe)

tapi tadi bila nengokkan gambo ciskek si puan mastura, alamak...... gebu gitu. tapi rasanya tak mampu nak buat tho pernah buat sebelum nih sebabnya i think i have to start checking and tracking what i ate. of late, food intake is menakutkan. and physical activity tarak langsung. harus berhati² di situ sebab nak naiknya teramatlah senang, but nak turun.... AZAB!

paling hebat pun mak buat jelly saje. sebab ada budak kecik kat rumah mintak. KALAU RAJIN.

kay la people. have a nice weekend (mengemas rumah, mengemop lantai, memvacuum karpet, menggosok baju yang setimbun, membasuh baju, memasak, memberus lantai toilet... gosh.. the list is never ending!) with your love ones!

:: Kuih Melayu ::

korang suka tak makan kuih melayu tradisional? sedap kan? tapi nak membuatnya, alahai leceh yang amat.

my kids love kuih seri muka. tapi knowing myself, aduhhhhh malas tahap gaban nak buat. pernah satu hari, the kids dok merengek mintak kuih seri muka. i told them, "tak pela, nanti mommy buat." guess what's the kids' answer,"beli saje la mommy"

syukur duduk kat malaysia. tambah bersyukur sebab dekat kawasan perumahan nih ada gerai yang jual kuih serimuka yang teramat sedap. hihi. selamat mommy.

tapinya, sampai bila la kan aku nak harap beli kat gerai. harus kena belajar buat nih. tapi first thing first kena la beli pengukus dulu. ai cuma ada electric steamer saje. hehe. (alasan)

tekak teringin betul nak makan sagu gula melaka. barang semua dah beli, time jek tarak nak buat. ada sesapa nak tolong buat free delivery ke teratak hamba?

:: Cerita Aidin Lagi ::

aidin is now 10.5 months. 1.5 month to go, and he'll hit his year 1 mark.

aidin muncul sebagai ganti, lepas hilangnya seorang anak beberapa jam sebelum kelahiran pada 2008 yang lalu.

he's one happy chap. easy to please. dan sangat suka makan (berkat turun dari mak dia yang kuat ma.kan masa mengandung kot? sampai habis member² naik berat meneman mak buyung makan. haha. sorry friends)

at this point of age, aidin dah ada 8 batang gigi. ye. sangat laju. sudah pandai panjat tangga sampai first floor. sorry morry tak suka duduk dalam baby chair mahupun walker especially when mommy is present. alahai.

he loves his brothers so much. sudah pandai peekaboo dengan afiq and adib. dah pandai nak lari bila orang nak geletek dia. kalau lampu on, nanti dia tunjuk kat lampu while saying 'pu' sampai tersembur² air liur. hehe. cute. suka bebel ma. ma. ma. de.da. achak. what does it mean? i pun tak tau. tapi rasanya ma.ma stands for mommy kot?

syok jaga baby nih. yang tak syok tuh cuma bab jaga malam je. but aidin skang dah makin ok. kalau tak salah 1-2 kali jek bangun semalam. since aidin still bf, so sangat senang la bab malam. tak yah bangun buat susu. :)

tadi terbaca entry on someone's experience on hajj. rindu rasa pada tanah suci. harapnya, sampai lagi ke sana.

kay la peeps. jangan boring ye baca pasal aidin jek, sebab nak cerita pasal menda lain, mak kurang idea dua tiga menjak nih. kurang idea tapi kuat makan. cemano wehhhhh??
