Umar doing his "move it, move it" routine. Hehe!

Our usual grocery night is on Monday instead of the weekend. The stock is fresher, less people on the que, the kids can enjoy the kids' trolleys, Daddy is usually on leave on Mondays so he can send Mummy to work and later fetch me before going to Tesco (our usual grocerer).

I heart these hairbands, bought it for the girls when we visited Old Blossom Box by Jezmine (jezmineblossom.blogspot.com or oldblossombox.blogspot.com) last Sunday. Love at first sight for just RM18 each. And Mummy pun dapatlah angkut jaket "pengganti" for a much much much cheaper price. I like!

My eldest girl reached a huge milestone during the weekend. Her first gigi dah tercabut (her upper front teeth tak dikira sebab yang tu semua mereput heheheh). It was pretty exciting for all of us especially me and Daddy sebab we were there to witness it. I have been wanting to pull it for her, but she refused to allow me. Fine.
We had lunch at Killiney, near Laman Seri, Shah Alam and tetiba Umaira tunjuk the gigi dah "terpusing" gitu. So I pun amik peluang tarikkanlah. And tadaaaaa....Irmy Umaira is officially rongak! hehehehe....

Elo...we're at Eastin tonight. Saja lepak with mama papa, the kids miss them a lot! To date, we just had two birthday cakes, one is an unofficial RM11 chocolate sponge cake I bought for the kids (umar) to cut (umar cincang, darn i forgot pics!) together. The second is Malyn's. Umaira picked it for her. A pink (duh) and white butter icing butter cake they cut together at Eastin after dinner. Umar (almost) got to cincang it.
And tomorrow, will be the official tok baba's 60th birthday cake cutting. We ordered a Toyota Camry chocolate cake from www.vanillapod.blogspot.com. Kak Irma tolong deliver depan rumah lagik. Thank you! I love the look of the cake, all so clean and smart! It is now being kept by room service of the hotel. I dont want the kids to godek the cake in the room. I hope they will keep it nicely for us. The celebration tomorrow will be at a bowling centre in Shah Alam. Yet to find out where the exact place is. Bukan reti sangat area Shah Alam ni.
Pics will be in here once I get back to work on Monday. Nity nite!

Umar, moments before kepala benjol. Cian baby Mummy...

This happened to Umar masa I was busy helping packing up the Cosmo Pamper Suite kat Genting last Sunday. He was there with Umaira and Ulfa with Daddy to fetch me home. Dalam tengah sibuk tu lah dia berlari2 and terjatuh and kepala sudah terhantuk baik punya kat kaki kerusi. In just a few seconds, sudah naik benjol sebesar bola ping pong kat dahi kiri. Memang luluh jantung tak ingat punya. Daddy ran for ice kat kedai 1Meter Tea which was just nearby. We put it in a small towel (thanks aunty Ida for the quick response) and cuba letak kat dahi Umar. He screamed and screamed. Sakit la kot sebab kena ais. Mummy yang dah tak tahan dengar jeritan dia asked Daddy to stop and buang the ice.
I tried and old "recipe" - tuam dengan hawa mulut. I took the towel, letak kat my mulut and keluarkan hawa mulut bagi dia warm skit, and letak kat kawasan benjol. Kena buat banyak2 kali. Umar terus diam and relaxed a bit. Sambil tengok Umaira and Ulfa dok main2 depan dia. After a few minutes, dah nampak his benjol surut skit. Lega sangat. Uncle Kamil masa tu dah tolong check out clinic kat First World Hotel, but we decided Umar will be fine sebab he stopped crying.
This wasnt the first time Umar jatuh and benjol kepala actually and learning from the other experience, tuam dengan hawa mulut ibu for this kind of cases memang mujarab. Syukur....

Occasion: Umaira's birthday dinner.
Location: Laman Kasih, Kuang (near Bkt Rahman Putra) - check their Facebook out.
Date: 20 March 2010 (day after her birthday).

The yummiest cake ever!

Where was Umar? In his stroller, fast asleep...

Umar and my mak lang. Bukan main lagi lentok. We seldom see mak lang, but she was at Abang Ee's house last weekend so we went to visit her, sekali gus lepak tengok rumah baru my cousin tu. Masa sampai tu, Umar was asleep. Bangun2 jek terus aktif macam biasa then tak semena2 pergi kat mak lang and panjat orang tu nak peluk. Wah! We were all so shocked, it was a good surprise la tapi.
Mama yang saksikan benda tu pun jadi sebak, tak tau napa. My theory: Umar kan tetiap ari ngadap muka Bibik. So he's very used to old ladies, senang manja and he knows he gets what he wants with them. Tu yang bodek my favourite aunty tu. Bukan main lagi buat belaian jiwa.
Anyhowww, this picture will be cherished. :)

He may not be somebody I personally know, but Al-fatihah to Arwah Mohd Ikhwanul Ashraf Datuk Manja. Semoga Allah cucuri rahmat kepada rohnya, dan tempatkannya di kalangan orang yang dikasihi-Nya.
(sangat sentap when ustaz baca talkin tu sebut "Wahai Mohd Ashraf binti Norzita".)
Al-fatihah....

nota kaki untuk anakanda bertiga: Datuk Manja Ismail is Daddy's ketua rombongan meminang masa Mummy and Daddy bertunang dulu ya...He and his wife are the most loving couple I know, and he is known to be very close to his children.

Remuk hati 25 March 2010: Saw picture of the ruined car, it broke my heart. It must've been worse for arwah's parents.

I had a brother once. He passed away in the month of September of 1999. He was 19 then, studying in college, finishing up his final project before graduation. He was the only son in our family. He left home that night after returning my car, insisting he needed to go back to his hostel to finish up his last assignment. I tegur dia "why are you so wangi-wangi? Nak jumpa awek yaa?" That was my last usikan apparently, as his "awek" is Allah SWT, coz he met HIM a few hours later.
His motorcycle berlanggar belakang lori yang kami percaya was parked there tanpa sebarang alatan keselamatan yang sepatutnya. And the lorry "left" him and his friend on the side of the road ya. It was a hit and run yang terbalik.
This happened at kilometer 77.5 of PLUS highway, up North near Gurun exit. My dad was still working in Alor Star then. My brother studied in Sg Petani and he was on his way back. And that's when the tragedy happened, it was almost 1am.
But we only found out almost Subuh, why? Sebab the address on arwah Lan's IC was still our KL house. It took "forever" for the police to get to us, hinggalah they found his driving license which had our AStar home address. (note to all: make sure your IC has your current address ya)
The rest...was too heart wrenching to tell...

Al-Fatihah
