Tok Baba (my Papa) MMS-ed me this pics this morning with caption "Mohon tambah rezeki untuk Mak Bapak..." Nice!!

Ulfa: "Bila besar nanti (tarik nafas), Ulfa nak belajar masak. (tarik nafas) Jadiiii...(tarik nafas), bila bibik takde nanti (tarik nafas), Ulfa masaklah untuk mummy."
Mummy: "Ulfa nak masak apa?"
Ulfa: "Kek Winx (tarik nafas), takpun kek I Like To Move It (ref: Madagascar). Mummy nak kek apa?"
Mummy: "Nak kek vampire..."
Ulfa: "Eh, tak boley (tarik nafas). Nanti GAMfire gigit tangan Mummy (ref: Twilight)."

* banyak tarik nafas coz her nose was blocked and her voice all sengau.

Disebabkan itu, Mummy kena take charge of the house. I dont actually like it, but cubalah sedaya mungkin. Mind you, my hubby does everything for the kids. Even last year's first day of school for Umaira pun dia yang tolong setelkan. I only went for about half hour and terus pi kerja. So this year, I took EL (tak sempat apply leave sebab Daddy dapat tahu kena pi outstation last minute) on Umaira's first day back in Krista.
Seronoknya Umaira dapat join K2 Dolphin (her favourite sea mammal), and her class is upstairs this time. Mula2 tu dia mengeluh, tapi mummy tahu dia suka sebab it shows that she's the senior in school this year. She got teacher Shelly, dengan remark "teacher tak marah2 ari ni, mummy..." sebabnya the teacher is known to be garang, I've seen her marah budak, scary!! So I told Umaira, kena buat rajin2, tentu teacher sayang. She understands. Good girl!
Yang mencabarnya this week, time Daddy takde lah anak2 nak batuk lah, selsema lah. Even I am sick!! Dah ler takleh tidur malam (I cant sleep without hubby, full stop!) so I am not resting well. Dengan terdengar batukan anak2 lagi. Memang tercabar keimanan...Takpe, lagi dua hari Daddy balik. I can't wait!!!!

Did I mention that Umar has to diet coz he's already 15kg??? Yes, doc adviced that we control his food. I know for a fact that bibik dok feed dia susu non stop. Sebotol penuh boleh habis, and he can ask for another right after and the bibik will make him one. And second botol pun boleh habis. Mana tak bam2? And he doesnt only rely on susu ya, makan nasi tetap makan nasi woooh...He's now heavier than Ulfa, boleh? Aduuuuhhh...
School holiday is almost over. Isnin ni Umaira is going back to Krista. Ulfa belum dihantar ke sekolah, she will only start kindy when Umaira masuk darjah satu. As for Umar, until he is potty trained, then we can talk about school. As for now, kena control makan and terima gomolan mummy daddy dia sampai dia dah besar. Hehehehe...
That's Mummy's new year's resolution for the kids...

tiru ayat orang lain...clear dust in the blog!
updates...It is the school holiday. Umaira is done with her K1 session, will move on with K2 next month/year. And it is her graduating year before she enters primary school. Cepatnya anak mummy membesar. What she's doing at home? Takes care of the little ones. She amuses them with her "classes", have been teaching to draw and colour. And like last night, she was excited to show me how she cleaned up the "work area" after they play. Good girl!

Tok Lang passed away, on 11th December 2009. He is my paklang, and all of us went back to Guar Chempedak to pay respects. We were supposed to go to PD for tok mama's family gathering tapi tak jadi la kan. The good thing out of it, the kids get to see Keisha and Aleyya again and get to bond with Deena. Seronok tengok kenit2 tu main. They treated Umaira macam baby...and Ulfa siap kena dukung. Bebel kenit kecik tu sebab tak puas hati kena dukung. "Ulfa dah besarlah mummy." Given that Keisha and Aleyya are the only child in their family, paham sangatlah kan keinginan nak ada adik tu kan.

And...How do you explain to your child, kenapa her uncle is holding hands with another woman? Yes... Sungguh keliru!

I can't wait to get home today, to listen to Umaira's stories on her day in school. Sebab hari ni, the Walt Disney Malaysia team datang her school untuk promote the Princess and The Frog film. She was excited all week long, and she mentioned about joining their colouring contest. I hope she wins something. Siap cerita, "Umaira tak kaler luar garisan Mummy..." Alahai...
(Darn, baru call rumah. semua pun tidur...)
And we will be maidless next week, and luckily, Daddy can take the whole week off (sebab cuti dia melimpah ruah) to take care of the kids. Meaning, no more maid headache drama for me, for at least a week, yay!! And as such, I got to be the bibik again. I don't mind coz I miss having the house to myself once more.
BTW, Ulfa sudah pandai main gunting untuk "barber" her hair ya. Bertuah sungguh. Patutlah Mummy tengok rambut dia makin layered. It looks good actually sebab she doesn't have that da*n straight hair like Umaira. Hers has soft curls at the end. So she kinda look chic (must take pictures!). What I'm worried is her playing with the gunting ofcourse. Mana dia dapat in the first place coz I always keep sharp things high and unreachable. And what is my maid doing all the while??? Sheeshhh...Selain jadi hairdresses diri sendiri, Ulfa turut mem-barber rambut Umar ya. Ada lah dua tiga "lubang" kat kepala. Aduuuuuhhh....On the bright side, it saves me from hair cut fees (yeah rite!).

Sungguh bertuahnya dapat anak teruna yang rajin nak teman Mummy dia menonton her all-time fav drama series - Gossip Girl. Gitulah Umar malam tadi, teman Mummy tengok GG yang penuh dengan drama Chuck Bass jadi poyo. Sigh...I got abg (ehem adik) Bass depan mata, and mini Bass dalam dakapan. Heheee...
He tried so hard to keep up with me, little Umar I mean. Sampai ke satu tahap (11.20pm rasanya) he just couldnt open his little eyes. Bila dia suh gosok his back, he was standing up. Tak lama kemudian, Mummy yang terlalu asyik dengan abg/adik Bass itu tak sedar anak teruna dah terlentuk kat tangan. And he was still standing up. My poor baby...
So melepaslah little Bass nak tengok gelagat poyo Chak Best kat Quickie. Bagus pun, taknaklah dia terikut2 kepoyoannya itu...Haha!

Ayat power Umaira baru2 ini, when I called her from office just for a chat...
"Mummy, can I say goodbye now? Nak tengok CD..." Sabar je lah..!!
