Umar now is 1yr & 5mths.

Dia dah berani panjat-panjat. He'll climb on one chair and will try to jump to the other.

He'll climb on everything macam tak takut jatuh. Tapi bila jatuh, tergolek uuuuwekkkkk..! nangis.

He love books. Everytime Abg Moemad read his new book, Umar will peek from the side or from the back tumpang baca sama. Tapi tak berani sentuh Abg's book maybe because of respect.

Umar will bergolek on the floor if he doesn't get what he wants. Most of the time with iced cold air sirap, which is his favorite. he can't drink them because of his wheezing and coughing which he's not fully recovered yet.

Umar knows now when it's time for Kak Aisha & Abg Moe to go to school and Mama & Daddy go to work in the morning. Every time the tv is turned off, he'll rush to the door and try to put on shoes. He'll pass Abg Moe his shoes and he'll pass my shoes to me.

Every time i carry him down to pass to Ne-nek (maid) he'll stretch his body backwards showing his disapproval. And then he'll bergolek on the floor and cry.

Sometimes Abg Moemad's pully bag lies around the house, he'll pull it across the hall and head for the door.. as if he's going to school. And when we put the bag on his back, he'll smile as if dah besar dah nak pergi sekolah.

If Umar sees 2 pacifiers lying around, he'll put one in his mouth and he'll give or basically throw the other one to Abg.

Umar dah pandai switch on and switch off the tv.

If he sees an unidentified object on the floor, mostly small black things, he'll say "eeeeeeee...! eeeeee...!" while pointing at it.

He still put small things in the mouth.. and this time every time Mama ask "Umar makan apa..?" he'll 'kemam' it and look away from me. Few months back when i asked Umar makan apa? he'll open his mouth and show it to me, and he'll let me take it out without any objection.

Umar loves to close doors. All my unclosed cabinet doors Umar lah tukang tutup. Every time we're in the room when the aircond is on, Umar will make sure the door is always closed. But on some days, he'll be locked in the other side. Then he'll cry out for help.

Umar dah pandai panjat atas stool in the kitchen to see whats on the counter. Sometimes he'll help himself to the cookie jar or food containers and sit on the kitchen floor and makan.
So far fridge belum pandai bukak lagi. (don't worry. my house have been child-proofed since 4 yrs ago).

Umar has improved on sound effects. every time he plays with one of Abg's car, he'll go "uuummmm...". Everytime he sees a picture of an airplane, he'll do the action with his hands and say "uuuummm.." kadang2 dengar dia sebut "eh-pain".

Umar, Umar.

If you see him today, he has 2 'benjols'. one on his forehead and one slightly above his eye.

chicken or egg OR issit egg or chicken

sometimes i take for granted of what goes in and what's going on inside my children's head.

Medina- she has sensitive skin. Until now i can't trace what food she's allergic to.
the last time rashes appear on her body was after she had nasi dgn kicap & telur goreng (classic right).. so she insisted that it was the egg!

last night she had one plate full of fried chicken. then after she came out of shower, came out a slight rash. both panicked. she blamed the towel. i quickly threw the towel in the laundry basket and quickly told her to go back in the shower.

after she came out, i quickly put ubat gamat all over her body. while doing that, we discussed what could possibly caused the rash. i told her its the chicken cos that was the last thing she ate. but she insisted it was egg that gives her rash. but since she didn't eat any egg yesterday so it was the chickenlah.

Dina : "No lah Ma.., egg."
Me : "Egg & chicken almost the samelah. Eggs come from where?"
Dina : (silent)
Me : "Eggs come from where?! .. you don't know where eggs come from?!!"
Dina : (shook her head)
Me : MEDINA! YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE EGGS COME FROM???!!!!
Me: (turned to Aisha who was nearby)
Me : AISHA! where do eggs come from?
Aisha : Farm.

Me : stunned.
Me : "What animal?!!!"
Aisha : Chicken.. (with her cheeky smile.)

nasib tahu..

it's a test for me too..

Its the time of the year again.. I'm pressured to do revision with the kids.. mainly for No1 & No2
No 1 is only in Standard One & No2 is in her last year of Kindergarten.

Is it good or bad for me to have these feelings of wanting her kids to score and get No 1 in class..?

because I'll get very upset if they don't.

..and i will feel that i failed to educate my kids

..and i will feel my kids are not smart

..and i will other kids are better

..and i will feel like a loser..

so that's why i'm pressured when it comes to exams! cause it's testing me too!!

Cerita Raya Saya

maybe it's because of age.. i don't really fancy Raya anymore. I'm more sadden by the passing of Ramadhan. Now that i have kids, Raya is mostly about them.

To The Fantasctis Four, Medina as the eldest appreciated Raya cos she fasted 27 days. The other 3 just love the school holidays, and baju baru, and all the air sirap they can drink, especially the youngest one. Brought his sippy cup everywhere we go Raya and he's happy with it. Thank God he didn't get any wheezing from the cold drinks.

After 5 years tak balik kampung (Kelantan) for Raya, this year we decided to go back. Pushed off on the 1st day after beraya with Parents, PakNgah & Nenek di Gombak. Left at 2.30pm arrived at 10.00pm.

How do you fit 6 people in Gen2 for an 8 hr journey? 3 in front & 3 at the back.
Fights? oh yes.. cramps? oh yes. Restless? oh yes.. after a 4++ hr drive, we stopped at Masjid Gua Musang for Asar prayers. Umar ran & ran & ran round & round & round the Masjid.

Had dinner at KFC Gua Musang at about 7.30pm. Never seen so many people in KFC before, its like all Gua Musang folks go to KFC for Raya. And all its staff wore their baju Raya and not their everyday uniform.

Everybody on hubby's side balik kg this year. So can imagine the amount of ppl in To'Ma & To'Ba's house? 24!! and 1 toilet.

But the kids had the most fun!! semua sebaya. Umar had fun exploring the house. Moehammad had fun playing with the boys.. and Medina(7) & Aisha(6) had fun with Nasha(8) & Oya(6). They even negotiated balik on Sunday instead on saturday.



We left on Saturday. Convoyed with Bro/Sis in law who lives in Bangi. Guess how long it took us to reach PJ? Depart KB 5.30pm. Arrived Pj 5.30 am!!----> 12 freaking hours!!!!!!

So my overall Raya experience was horrible. Penat from the trip masih lagi rasa sampai hari ini. Banyak duit habis. But the children really had fun. Since my life is for my children.. can't really complain. Its part of a mother's life!! and wife too..

6 hari lagi Hari Raya..!!

To be honest, i don't really look forward to Hari Raya.
I love Ramadhan. I could feel the extra closeness with God. Sebab ibadah puasa ini adalah semata-mata untuk Dia.

Tinggal 6 hari je lagi... sedih.

The only thing that i'll be celebrating this Raya is the eldest of the Fantastic Four:

First time berpuasa and as at today, she only missed 3 days.

And as at today, 24th day of Ramadhan, she's able to solat 5 times a day all by herself. At first, dengan Imam (either me or daddy). But now she offers to pray on her own. Perfect recital. Even the Doa's after Solat pun dah pandai. Now she calls me up at work just to ask me whether i've done my Zohor prayers and Asar.

Last night she told her parents that "only 1 surah left dalam Muqaddam nak sampai Al-Quran". It was a proud moment for both parents. Ayatul Kursi & Surah Al Asri is one of her favorites.

At this stage, whatever we teach she absorbs like a sponge & thank God one of The Painters of this once a white cloth, has taken kursus Batik before in Kelantan. I think we are on the right track in producing a beautiful top quality silk cloth. The rest of the Fantastic Four will be a different challenge for both of us.

I'm gratefull to all my family members for their support, help and advice. Also to Kak Noris & Pn Nabilah for introducing the Iqra' to them. And to Mum for taking over where they left off.

To all parents out there, say "Robbil habli minosollihin" after every Solat & every Doa. Insya'allah..

p/s: on the right hand side of this post i'd like to share a Zikir/ Selawat by Munif Ahmad. Our loyal companion during sahur. It's played on Ch 106 Astor Oasis before and after azan Subuh. A favorite among Medina and Umar who never fails to bersahur di bulan yang mulia ini.

Selamat Menyambut Aidil Fitr. Semoga ibadah kita semua diterima Allah swt.
