2012 mom's day

so Mother's Day was yesterday... same old, same old. tak leh nak harap the husband to wish, so need to teach the kids lah to wish. LOL. Dayana je pun. Dinara is currently fluent in words like 'mama' and 'shushu' and 'shoe' (Dora's pet monkey Boots pun dia panggil shoe T__T).

friday night when i reached home Dayana told me she wanted to get something from her school bag. she told me her teacher bagi happy mother's day. punye semangat punggah beg, tapi takde pun. the ex-maid would usually keep stuff she brings home and hands them over to me after i get home from work. i didn't manage to get a straight answer from her when i asked what her teacher gave her to bring back, but i'm guessing it's some form of artwork =P.

so in the morning i asked the maid if she brought back anything from school. she did... it ended up among her toys in the toy box downstairs.

(add pic later)

so on the morning of Mother's Day i woke up i told her to wish me Happy Mother's Day.

she said to me, "Happy Birthday Mommy!". T________T

at night while Skypeing with Daddy, she excitedly told Daddy about her day, about how she managed to squeeze a Dora straw bottle from me (chis), the Mother's Day balloon her Wan received from the neighbor, and also showed off the card she brought home from school. then she asked,

"tak nak wish Dayana Happy Mother's Day ke?" she asks me. T________________T

tunggu cik kak jadi Mommy dulu, aci?

i spent my Mother's Day at Fabulous Mom in Cheras, for a babywearing gathering. hosted by Norley, topic that day was about SSCs. great turnout i must say. so many newbies i could barely keep track of who is who (sorry yek! mak dah tua). the kids had fun, i didn't have to pay a single sen for them to stretch their legs, they had the other kids for company, and i didn't have to worry about them wandering off (save for the occasional memunggah barang kedai @_@).

photos courtesy of Elly and her new lens... =P (and the group photo belongs to Farid).

the preggy organizer

the one interested in SSCs - topic of the day

the group photo... anyone got a better one?

and the following are OTs:

the one that left for a new owner

the one that made everyone want one

me and sil brought mil out for dinner at Muhibbah. i got lost going there ever since they upgraded the road traffic flow just past the turning into Ikea @_@. the kids were famished kot, Dayana managed to finish her own plate of rice, lauk ikan je. sil ordered soo much food, i started to wonder how many people did they budget for hahahah.

and i managed to get some sleep last night =)

at times when she's in a good mood, Dayana's the perfect older sister:

- my mom found Dayana one morning in bed, singing Alif Ba Ta to Dinara
- yesterday i found Dayana helping Dinara wear her sandals (didn't matter that she wore them terbalik and the velcro were all lopsided, it's the thought that counts)
- i can rely on her to hand things to Dinara while they're in the backseat and i'm driving (although tak leh nak buat apa la if they decide to berebut barang)
- helping Dinara refill her drinking bottle by telling me 'adik nak summore Ribena' padahal adik dia tak heran pun
- likes to tattle on her sister =P

i noticed ever since she goes to school in the morning, she speaks more Malay than usual. i need to speak more English with her @_@.

i'm sick of Toy Story 1, Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3. Dayana enjoys the "money money money" part. grrrr. i'm gonna force them to watch Despicable Me pulak.

oooh btw, mil just came back from UK, guess what she got me?

nostalgia

image taken from here

the photo above much describes me at the moment... post-friday blues perhaps... *brushing off loose cobwebs in brain*.

it's been awhile since i layan cerita hindustan, cerita korean jepun, or even anime (Love Hina, Furuba, Chobits! etc =P). the last time i did was during Uni days, when time and resource were abundant and books were a bore.

due to the current downpour outside, a friend of mine thought it appropriate to give Love Rain a try. coincidentally just the night before Significant Other suggested that i check it out. i know it's his type of story. i've lost touch with my sensitive side a long time ago. harhar.

Dayana's cam skills

so my one and only action shot with swallows...


looks like Dayana's camera skills have increased just a tiny bit... she managed to get a feasible pic among so many blurred ones... LOL (although compared to my iPhone, her iPod photos come out sort of grainy). i really didn't get it when tbw mamas keeps selling and buying the same wrap all over again... til now =D.

oh and please kill me, but i only realized i never had an action shot with this one until yesterday. because it was all folded up neatly in its original bag, buried under all the pillows and stuffed toys on my bed. oops.


roses ember! another photo taken by Dayana, since my other cameraman is currently out of commission and skills might have possibly gone rusty. so glad i came across the preorder when i did. this is a keeper. i find i prefer wraps with less bounce as of late. it's a size 4, btw if anyone plans to dibs this. only stick thin people like me prefers this size for all carries.

for the first time ever, i reached the officer before 8am. haha. supposedly i had an early training, but for three days straight it got cancelled. next week perhaps. i'm addicted to drinking tea in the office these days too. i guess i finally got sick of choco-chino, a more fancier name than 'milo' (bak kata encik kopi mesin di pantry haha). however, i take all my teas with 2 spoons of sugar, so i don't know if i can call this healthy... i like the smell of coffee but ain't a caffeine drinker (i hate the smell you omit when you go to the loo afterwards hahahahaha).

i've been addicted to Sims ever since joining a gaming community (no thanks to Liz =P) and yeah for some weird reason it's addictive. if only i could earn real money from playing this.

this goes to show i really need a new hobby. i told Significant Other i wanted to buy a sewing machine, he told me to go borrow mil's. uhhhh... ooookay.

oOoOoOoh, my friend Atiqah finally achieved her childhood dream! so happy for her. i wish i was 10 years younger. LOL. congrats babe =D.

mother's Day is coming up this weekend. i bet Significant Other will probably forget about it like last year (last year he got lucky that we happened to be outing at Sunway Pyramid) and my kids are too young to say 'happy mom's day' to me unless someone tells them to.

aih. i miss my grandmother. haven't seen her in three years.

i'm babbling here because i don't know what to blog about. but i just feel like writing it all down here.

wordless... which one are you?

more wraps to leave

good morning! due to temporary insanity, you'll see many more crazy posts from me in the coming days =D. more are on the chopping block... once you start you really can't stop... unless someone babaps you on the head with a serger. HAHA

wishlist that are merely wishes

the one that makes top of the list would be my own house, but i don't think i can afford it right now. lol. so these two would have to do.

my reasoning:
1. i want to take more pretty photos of my kids.
2. i desperately need a new hobby.


ok so if Significant Other don't want to layan my wishlist, i'm definitely gonna put some away for this beauty for my birthday... which is ages away =P.

this one? don't ask.
