Busy Bee Day

Yesterday was a looongggg day for me. Mula dari malam lagi I did'nt have quality sleep. Abang Long was having stomach ache. Keep on visiting Mr T (Toilet) through out the night. Each time of his vsisit he will wake me up to report on his "progress". My J Lo plak first time demam selepas nearly a year kat Perth ni. So she keep on merengek. So with the 2 children tak sihat how can a Mom sleep?? Baru rasa nak terlelap since J Lo and Abg Long dah ok sikit.. jam dah bunyi for Subuh (now ni Subuh around 4.40 gitu). End up ..selesai lah waktu tidor seorang ibu.

8.30 in the morning I dah called clinic for an appointment untuk Abg Long and J Lo. Dapat lah appointment at 12.15. Around 10 am pegi hantar Abg Long and Abg Ngah ke swimming class. First day of their swimming class. Abg Long insist nak pegi gak eventhough perut dia still dok meragam. So pegilah semua orang kat Aqua Life Centre tu. Bila the two heroes masuk dalam kolam, J Lo pun menangis bagai nak rak nak masuk kolam gak. Masalahnya untuk umur dia mesti ada parents accompany dalam pool tu all the time. Serabut ngan kerenah J Lo my other half pegi beli Bermuda Short kat kedai dalam centre tu dan tercapai la cita cita J Lo untuk berendam dalam pool ditemani oleh Papa. As expected, lepas dia mandi demam dia pun makin teruk.

Lepas dari AquaLife tu singgah makan kejap b4 pegi clinic. Yang bengang nya bila jumpa Dr langsung dia tak nak bagi ubat. Kononnya biasalah budak demam and batuk. Abg Long pun Dr tak nak bagi ubat. Kononnya naturally akan stop le sakit perut tu. Cuba minta ubat yang selalu pediatrician kat Msia bagi pun tak dapat gak. Yang dipesannya make sure bebudak 2 org ni ambik enough water to avoid dari dehydration. Laaa...kalau script tu je ..Tak payah la jumpa Dr...Memang dah tahu pun.. jumpa Bomoh pun dapat script yang sama gak.. Dalam hati cakap..abih la sure malam ni tak dapat tidor lagi....

Sampai umah around pukul 3 gitu start masak plak coz ada 4 family called nak datang raya (dinner ). "Monster Chef" pun buat la Menu sempoi; Menu utama-Nasi ayam and Spaghetti; dessert plak - agar agar, strawberries ngan cokelat and buah limau. Lepas Maghrib around 7 pm gitu sampai lah tetamu..bermula lah acara makan makan and borak borak.. Pukul 10 malam selesai lah semuanya..Memandangkan "Monster Chef" dah letih and J Lo dah start meragam, alhamdulillah the other half pun terpaksa la tunjuk bakat "mengemas dan membasuh pinggan and periuk".

As predicted..malam semalam pun ..tak dapat tidor gak..J Lo meragam..Lepas Subuh baru lah bole tidor kejap... Pagi ni pun Papa terpaksa tunjuk bakat buat breakfast and pegi hantar the two heroes ke class renang. ...Kalau ari ni selsema and demam J Lo tak berkurang..alamat malam ni pun ..tak dapat le nak tidor nye... ish..Dr oooiii..nak bagi anak sembuh naturally..silap silap mak masuk ICU la plak...

A Tip About Girls

Yesterday my first hero informed me that he would like to have a hair cut. Suddenly the second hero excitedly said " No! Abg Long don't cut your hair" and he keep on saying "Mama I don't want to cut my hair". I asked him " why not? your hair also dah panjang. Potong rambut should be a good idea".

Then came the unexpected explanation from my second hero. Mama tak tahu.."I don't want to cut my hair because I know girls like boys with long hair". Then I said to him "Betul ke?". He confidently said " that's why Abg Long doesn't have any girlfriend and I have many.." Oh!! Romeonya anakku ini.......

Patutnya...Realitinya

Patutnya hari ni dah back to normal timetable le..
Patutnya subuh tadi dah spend masa baca apa yang patut..
Patutnya tadi dah sambung buat writing yang tertinggal..
Patutnya hari ni dah kembali focus ngan my PhD work..

Realitinya hari ni masih tak betul jadualnya..
Realitinya subuh tadi dok sibuk gosok baju ..
Realitinya tadi dok sibuk masak and layan J Lo tengok cd..
Realitinya hari ni dok "merapu dana" lagi...

Raya@Perth

Alhamdulilah, 1 Syawal 2009 dirayakan dengan gembira dan serba sederhana oleh kami sekeluarga. Cuma the Second Hero frust sikit sebab this year tak dapat buat collection duit raya except duit raya from "Dana Hari Raya Aruah MamaTok and Tok Ayah".

Ucapan terima kasih kepada Mok Wa selaku Pengurus Dana.

Terima kasih juga kami sekeluarga ucapkan pada our beloved Mak and Mummy diatas tajaan baju raya untuk the two heroes and J Lo. They love the colour especially baju kurung J Lo (dia perasan dia cantik macam "Melor" dalam cerita Wayang Kulit).

Salam Eidil Fitri

To All,

" Selamat Hari Raya and Maaf Zahir Batin"

Free Show

Yesterday we went to Fremantle and on the way back my other half stopped at Toys World. Actually we stopped there by mistake. We thought Toys World is like Toy Museum . The actual fact is Toys World is a shop selling thousands toys ranging from the simple play dough to the big play house.

J Lo was indeed happy with the mistake we made! She happily explored the shop and

after spending about 30 minutes playing and trying all the displayed toys she then made her decision; the magic microphone ( it has music function on it).

She then (dengan selambanya)performed her free show at the car park.Worried she would get carried away in her performance (showing off her dancing skill too), I then persuaded her to continue her singing show indoor (in the car). Fuuhhh!! lega... since ada gak la 2,3 family kat car park tu yang dok tengok free show J Lo..

For the two heroes we bought monopoly and scrabble. They were relieved when they got to know about J Lo's Free Show.. Abang Ngah cakap "nasib baik tak pegi..kalau tak malu kita"...

p/s: kitchen cabinet yang dalam gambar tu harga dia from $ 299 - $ 399. ada ngan peti ais lagi... ish ish ish...ada juga la manusia yang buang duit beli benda benda mahal cam ni ye...

Ketandusan idea

Akibat tak ada idea nak masak apa..yesterday saya buat nasi lemak untuk berbuka. Ada sambal tumis ikan bilis, telur rebus and ayam goreng. At first, suspen gak ..takut diaorang tak minat nak makan nasi lemak masa berbuka. Luckily, the two heroes and the other half tak banyak songe..clear je. J-Lo pun tumpang nyibuk waktu berbuka..

emmmm..ari ni ..persoalan yang sama gak..nak masak apa ek? Second hero dah suggest suruh buat Pizza untuk session lepas sembahyang terawih.. menu berbuka , belum decide lagi..mohon Allah bagi ilham le before 5pm nanti (waktu chef nak masuk dapur le..)

Gear 1

Aduss... lately my PhD work is not moving as it is supposed to be. Just like driving using the first gear and before I can change to the next gear dah jumpa plak ngan trafic light. Stop le plak.

Trying to find excuses for the unreachable target, I put the whole blame on Nescafe..emmmm..of course the culprit is not the humble and innocent ME..kah kah kah...

Want to know why? I think I am addicted to Nescafe..without Nescafe to start my day..my brain cannot function well and my body system get haywire!!
Again, I am stressing here, the problem is not ME but Nescafe...
"...kelazatan istimewa..citarasa masa kini...."

Harap harap esok lebih baik le dari ari ni.....bergerak le sikit benda yang tengah dok buat nih...ish..geram betul!

Zakat Fitrah

Last friday the Imam announced the rate for the zakatfitrah . The rate is $10.00 per person. The funniest things was that immediatey after the announcement, most of the postgrads students especially those without any extra income(not working) and have many children casually said may be they need to "wakilkan bayar zakat kat msia la". heee..
