CELEBRATION AT SCHOOL AND OUTING (APR 30)

Ida was so excited as this is the day where she's taking a bus for the first time(if im not mistaken). They are going to a park where they have lot of big stones to climb... kiranya activity memanjat gitu ari nih.
The teacher already told us to not make them wear new clothes, fearing of their seluar and baju koyak rabak dek memanjat.




She was the first one to be ready, siap ngan bag sandang Dora and sempat gak tengok cartoon Dora before going.

As for Adam, gave him the cake Ive prepared. He asked me if it's a military cake. I told him military cake will be this Saturday. Meantime, makan ajer ler apa yg mak bagi, nak oiii.

Could settle the urgent documents required by the auditor for year 2008. Keep on asking the same thing every yr grrrrrrrrrrr.

Then we left to Champ Elysees for a shopping at Zara and Gap. Buying new clothes for Adam's birthday party this Saturday. Hubby told me I'm over reacting and that Adam already has lot of clothes. But I dont care, it's me who's paying so??

Could grab a jacket for Ida at Zara. Adam will be so damn good looking with a jacket like this, hubby almost wanting to buy it for him but Adam refused. Didnt want his friends to make fun of him katanya. Oh my dear, your friends only buy clothes at a hypermarket so why must you care about what they say??

View of Paris on today. I just love the blue sky.







Before that, had our lunch at our favourite turc resto next to the secretariat. Mmg lunch time so going there is like going to Turkey miahahahaha. Turkey men ni agaknya tak pernah tengok asian lady kut ... jakunis semacam pun iyer gak.


Adam's presents on today.


Jam tangan utk memudahkan dia ingat waktu sembahyang. I just need to put the alarm each time. Have enough to remind him.


Ida was so happy to see there's something for her.


Thank God she loves her new jacket. My cutie...

As for Adam, he told me he distributed the birthday invitation cards. Anyway jemput 5 orang jer sbb tu jer gang si Adam and this year, sorry yer no girls allowed hehehehe.

He told me there's other girl celebrated her birthday too and his friends prefer his cake, more delicious katanya. Ye lar tu.

Back home, apalagi kan, paksa bapak dia main bolasepak.

Then we left with MIL to have a look at little cats that we are planning to buy. Pretty disappointed sbb bukan kucing yg bulu panjang but half long. Of course it's much cheaper too, like 200Euros for a kitten. Bulu panjang will cost 1kEuros, imagine that!!

Yg kelakarnya, people yg ada kucing jantan yg keturunan bulu panjang nih, siap sewakan kucing diorang utk project ngan kucing betina orang lain. People willing to pay around 200Euros for that! Ni kes nak dapat anak anak kucing comel lar nih. Donia oh donia, memacam.

Suddenly "tinggggg" in my head. I should do a business selling kittens dari keturunan bulu panjang. Money money, come to me hu huuuuuuuuuuu.

FW: Relationship - Very True & Practical!

This is a very good article. Those who are still single may learn something from here...
Those who are already married may take it as a guideline to improve your marriage & relationship ...

DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?

During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, 'How do I know if I married the right person?'
I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, 'It depends. Is that your husband?'
In all seriousness, she answered 'How do you know?'

Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind.

Here's the answer.
EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse/partner. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies (unconventional behavior/habit).

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called 'falling' in love... Because it's happening TO YOU.

People in love sometimes say, 'I was swept off my feet.' Think about the imagery of that __expression.
It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria (excitement) of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, 'Did I marry the right person?' And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.

But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could.

And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVERjust happen to you. You can't 'find' LASTING love. You have to 'make' it day in and day out. That's why we have the __expression 'the labor of love.'
Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes W IS DOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships.
Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship
WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable... you can 'make'
love.

Love in marriage is indeed a 'decision'... Not just a feeling.

Remember this always:

'God determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go.'

SHOES (APR 29)

Backdated post (again).



Tennis lesson on today after 2 weeks of holiday.


Obviously he's enjoying playing tennis, mulut pot pet pot pet cam bertih jagung. Later on masa berkumpul, when the prof. asked questions, paling kuat sekali suara dia yg menjawab. He told me that he got more points than his friends.


Did a hotdog for him and a bottle of juice. He has eaten in the car and off to his klass ugama.


Boss cooked and today and I must say, bloody yummy.


We found one new shopping complex call "Marque Avenue". Ended up at Nike shop for more than one hour. We were all busy choosing our shoes including little Ida. Big smile on each face on today, we have new shoes except hubby hih hih hih.

Kids playing at the spacious park there.


Sampai rumah jer si Adam put on his sarung tangan utk goal keeper and his new football shoes. Apalagi, duk suruh bapak dia main bolasepak lar ngan dia.



After Ive put the kids in bed, went downstairs and started decorating the cake for Adam to celebrate at school tomorrow.


My tomyam bakal difrozen. Ni lar dia kalau makan utk seorang uhuk uhuk.

FWD : Abductors in Taman Desa Old Klang Road - Beware!

Hmmm ... Malaysia is not safe anymore.



Dear Friends

Yesterday night I had a most terrifying experience of my life. This
happened in Taman Desa right in front of my home.

It was around 9.50pm, I was in my bedroom just stepped out from a
shower when I heard a scream (my first thought was my niece (who lives
with me) or my daughter in trouble) and immediately drew my window
curtains to check what was happening. I saw my niece, 2 men (tall and
perhaps around 20+ to 30s years old) grabbling with her right in front
of my house. A dark coloured vehicle was waiting right there. I did
the most natural thing and shouted at them. I saw them jumping into
their vehicle and drove off. We could only thank God they did not
succeed in abducting her. One could only imagine the worst. She
sufferred bruises all over her body.

She had parked her car in front of the house and just alighted from
the car when all of a sudden the vehicle drove up to her (lights not
on), stopped, two men rushed out of the vehicle, pushed her, she fell,
they tried to grab her, one was holding her legs and the other trying
the get to her. There was a 3rd abductor waiting at the wheel.. She
remembered her friend's advice and screamed with all her might and
resisting them. The guy ( she saw a Malay) even punched her nose, I
believe to stop her from screaming. Fortunately the space was small
for them to move in because my car (also parked there) and
particularly there was a steel cable at the scene which obstructed the
2nd guy to get to her. I believe they gave up after hearing my shouts
but they took her handbag which already dropped on the ground earlier
when she fell.

This mail is to warn others ... the vehicle is a dark colour Toyota
Estima. One of the abductor's watch and slipper ( expensive stuff)
were found at the scene which we handed over to the police.

Another comment about the attitude of our Malaysian police, which
everyone already knows.. I called the Police no. which was on my
handphone. A man answered and I asked for his help to call the police
station at Taman Desa so they may perhaps be able to chase the
abductor's vehicle in time, but he told me irritatingly "pergi lah
sana sendiri buat police report". He could at least have helped gave
me the tel. no. of the police depot in Taman Desa.. sigh.

Inspite of all the warnings from the internet my own niece was caught
by this trick. The vehicle parked a distance away watching her As
soon as she came out of her car, they drove to abduct her. All this
need only take a minute and someone dear to you may be gone forever.

All I can say is be more vigilant and pray very very hard for our safety.

STORIES BEHIND THE SURAH(S) - APR 28

Just another ordinary day. Writing this backdatedly coz was pretty busy.

School time for the kids and work time for me. The boring thing working at home is that you have to cook for lunch uhuk uhukkk. Reminds me the old good times ... single time ler nih hih hih hih. How exciting life is. Lunch time keluar shopping (kalau ada fulus lar, otherwise tapau from canteen jer hu huuuuuuuuu).

Balik kerja gi aerobic, otherwise gi jogging kat KLCC sambil cuci mata muahahahahah. Lepas exercise pegi hentam pulun kat kedai mamak ngehehehehehe.

For once, I wanted to look at the tv as there was a report about penipuan among the immigrants mainly from Africa and eastern Europe yg merempat in France. That was the time the kids decided to main lumba motor. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. The noise they were making, kalaulah duduk apartment, mmg dah lama lar kena complain ngan neighbours.

Punyalah suka budak budak ni dpt tido ngan mak pak dia sbb esok tak sekolah. After dinner, I was feeling KO, menguap entah berapa puluh kali. Ni kes exercise dua hari berturut turut lar nih.

Adam slept pretty late so he could do Isyak too.

Ready to sleep, dah tutup lampu dah nih, hubby was still working downstairs, it was already 11pm. Adam asked me boleh tak sembahyang baca cepat cepat. I told him kalau baca cepat², lintang pukang, Allah pun tak paham apa kita cakap.

Frm then on bercerita plak hari kiamat, what will happen basically. Then bertanya plak apa makna surah surah yg dia baca dlm sembahyang. I was so happy that he wanted to know so switched on the light, grabbed the translation of the Al Quran and started to read to him the meaning of each surah. His eyes brighten up hearing the stories.

I remember not long ago when I asked him back what is the story behind surah Al-Masad. He would be telling me something like "it's a story about Abu Lahab who doesnt believe in God, doesnt want to do prayers, only want to watch tv, he and his wife will be burnt in hell".

Oopss. I must have added, actually nak perli si Adam tapi dia plak terima bolat bolat apa mak dia cakap. So I told him time tu mana ada tv nak oiiii ngehehehehehe. From that on, he took off bab tv from the story hehehe.

We slept like a little baby later on hu huuuuuuu.

Geramnya si Adam ni taknak cakap melayu and me on the other hand bila bercerita ngan dia dah terbiasa plak cakap french. This is no good and I have to stop this.

Macro testing.

BACK TO SCHOOL (APR 27)

Ida keeps on merengek few times closed to midnite. Mengigau apa entah gaknya pastu terperosok kat tepi dinding sbb ada gap tilam ngan dinding, sort of like lubang gitew, tu yg best dia tido kat situ kut hih hih hih.

Adam wanted to do his solats immediately but I told him to take a shower first. Nak berdepan dgn Allah, apasalahnya lawa dan wangi sikit kan. Ini ada yg gi opis or keluar sikit punya lawa. Bila sembahyang, pakai baju lobang lobang pun buley. Ini mcm punya olang pun ada.


Cik adik berat hati nak tinggalkan mak dia pagi nih. Started to cry, saying "mamaaaaannn". Dia nak mak dia anto tapi mak dia pakai baju pun tak siap lagi hih hih hih.

Took her in my arms, kissed her and told her to have a good day at school. Back home, hubby proudly told me about his conversation with Ida's cikgu who is also the gurubesar of her school, who will also be the gurubesar of Adam's school.

She was telling about Ida who is the leader for the girls in her classroom. Creating the mess pun iyer, mengorder orang pun iyer and the others will follow. Bangga giler bapak dia kata anak dara dia clever.

We could work peacefully. Such a peaceful day hih hi hhih.

Julien came around 1pm. Ni kes wanting to be paid right away lar nih. Bosan tul aku orang mcm nih.

Time to take the kids. Ida was so happy to see me. The moment I saw my boy ... my eyes lighten up ... it's like the most good looking boy in his classroom, with his new hair cut, with his coat .. and that boy is mine ...

After Zohor, mengaji for Adam. Sekejap jer actually. Entah bila lar dia ni nak ingat. We left to Super U as Adam wanted to buy his cereal "Lion". Ni kes tengok iklan dlm tv lar nih nak mengaum mcm Lion hih hih hih.

Ida's new teacher told me that they need cakes or biscuits and also tissues for the kids. Tengok kerenah pak itam dan mak itam yg tak pernahnya lar nak bagi apa apa kat klass, mmg jadi tarak mood. When normally we're giving lot of things every month, not anymore. Kaum ni jugak yg kenyang. Tak paham sungguh aku perangai mcm nih. Dah merempat kat negara orang pun tak reti reti lar nak bersyukur. Sedekah biskut pun tak mampu ker.

So that's it, just bagi ala kadar jer.

Homework time for Adam back home.

Dgn mak dia, belajar tegas sikit so barulah serious sikit. Kalau ngan bapak dia, ada plak bapak dia plak yg tolong bagi clue, senang lar idup mcm tu. So told hubby to just let me do the job. Math subject on today. Si Adam ni mmg cukup pemalas kalau tang yg kena baca cerita. Yg panjang meleweh ni mmg dia agak kureng. Dia nak yg calculate directly jer, tak suka yg cerita panjang punya. Geram sungguh.


Dinner orang pemalas.

40min of running tonite (style kura kura lar tapi miehehehe)

BACK TO THEIR ROOM (APR 26)

Last night of sleeping with us. Yup, 2 weeks of holiday's over. So for the pleasure of the kids, I slept in the middle, Adam on my left side, Ida on my right side. Meaning she slept in our bed, next to hubby.

At about 4am I guess, she started to merengek, did a bottle of milk for her. Not long after, she started to cough and muntah in our bed. Grrrr. Thank God hubby was awake and helped me to clear off the muntah, taking off sarung bantal etc. So I just need to clean Ida.

Hard for me to sleep later on.

As promised, hubby vacumed and set in order the living room and the veranda. Rumah tarak mop tarak buat ka deyyyyyyyyy hih hih hih.

Meantime, I was busy changing the bed sheets of the kids, vacumed and mopped their room kasi berseyyy al maklumlah malam ni they will start sleeping in their room hu huuuuuuu. Sungguhlah bersih gitew bilik diorang.

We had lunch with IL. Bloody yummy lamb chopped.

Maknya tengah menggoreng anak anaknya hehehe. Punyalah terpukau diorang dgn gorengan ku itewww.


Budak budak ni kalau buat sepah mmg lar terror. Satu rumah mmg boleh jadi tongkang pecah. Baik atas, baik bawah, baik basement. Kalau tak suruh kemas, mmg mintak maap lar diorang nak kemas.

Already feeling sad knowing that they won't sleep with us tonite. My heart ache thinking of how quiet the house will be when they will be at school the whole day.

I know I keep on complaining when it's school holiday ... but now that it's over, Im already missing them. My kids that I love so much.
Teringat at sis's nasi lemak so dinner tonite, nasi lemak. Version tak pedas for hubby...


Version pedas for me.. mabeles sih.

Hard for Adam to sleep at nite. Was easy for Ida. Adam keeps on pleading that he didnt want to miss his prayer, didnt want to go to hell katanya. He waited till Maghrib which is about 9.15pm. Ida dah lama lalok by then.

He wanted to wait for Isyak which is around 10.30pm but I told him to go to sleep, esok sekolah. Esok jer qada. Mulut pot pet pot pet jugaklah, ni kest takleh tido lar nih sbb during the holidays duk tido lambat but I had no choice. It will be hard for him to wake up otherwise. But before that pesan, if tengah malam terbangun, boleh sembahyang and just wake me up. Yolah tu. Kalau dah tido, takdenya dia terbangun der.

Suddenly our room looked so spacious without the kids.

Did some running for close to 45min that in the end, Adam tepuk tangan kata "bravo, maman". Hu huuuuuuu. Hope I can keep this up.

HAIR CUT (APR 25)

Hair cut day for the kids and hubby. At first wanted to trim my hair but upon reaching the place, changed my mind. It will take longer time to do my hair so next time maybe.

In our town there are at least 10 hair salon. But to find one where there is no people is impossible. Bila yg takde orang, pakcik plak taknak sbb arab punya kedai. His statement jahat goes something like this "they only know how to cut rambut mcm bulu kambing biri biri, personally I dont have that kind of hair". Jahat giler.

Ada one place, pekerja ada 4 ekor cik minah nih. Client ada 1. Buleh plak kata they are busy and ada orang dah reserve tempat in 15min. Ini typically lar pekerja pekerja pemalas. Mentang mentang bukan kedai dia. Buleh plak kata datang weekdays. Do they really think people will go there with that kind of service?

Finally we went to Auchan shopping complex. Hubby and Adam cut their hair there 2 months ago. The boss was there, really adorable. She handled Ida first, cutting remos si Ida yg dah panjang. Bagusnya anak mama, following what the lady told her to do. Sage comme une image !The other workers handled hubby and Adam.

Si Adam ni pemalu and berat mulut ya amat. The girl asked him questions, sepatah jer dia jawab.
Ida got her hair cut for free as we bought a product utk kurangkan kusut rambut si Ida which cost 16Euros. As for the guys, cream rambut which cost 20Euros. Mengalahkan gue plak. Product gue pun tak semahal tu.

Makin handsomenya anak mama rambut pendek. The color of his hair is becoming clearer too. Lagi nampak kemas. Suddenly he looked so white. I just couldnt understand parents yg biarkan anak lelaki rambut panjang mcm pempuan.

Here's Ida in the morning ... like a little princess.





Adam requested "crepe" so after dinner, did crepes for him. Baik bapaknya baik anaknya, makan tambah youuuuuu. Such a pleasure.

BOWLING TIME (APR 24)

A smile on my face when I received this envelope this morning. Every year, she didnt miss sending a birthday card with ole ole for the kids. She's the only one too who sends me Hari Raya card every year.




To Ina Jaya ... tq so much for your thoughts.


The kids were delighted to see what's waiting for them on the table.

We left to Bellepine for lunch. Then to Carrefour, daku bayor uhuk uhukk. Ye lar asyik boss je bayar, mak bapak sendiri pun benci. Tak gitew??

But later on, he payed for my dress at Zara. Damn, why I didnt grab few instead??




We left for a bowling not far away. Feel great and played not too bad I must say. The neighbour didnt bother us so fine with me.


From now on, no more playing with the pagar for Adam. He's playing not too bad I must say.




Miss sweetie posing in the garden.


What she has chosen on today.


Enjoying my new gadget for the camera and here is the result.

NO INTERNET (APR 23)

Outing day for the kids with grandma. Grandma went with them to “Jardin des Plants” in Paris. Both Adam and Ida were so excited to go. Prepared sandwich for them. Adam wanted 3 sandwich with hot dog and carrot in it, not to forget, mayonnaise.


As for my sweetie, nak jadi vegetetarian ke tak tau lar, she only wants sandwich with carrot. No sausage for her.

Siap ngan bag sandang for each of them, punyalah suka.

At first, it was so peaceful without them. We could work peacefully. Then suddenly missing them a lot, wondering what they are doing. They came back around 5pm, both of them knocked out in the car.


Kepenatan tak terhingga sbb berjalan especially Adam hih hih hih. Grandma could take some pics there.







"Flamant rose". Love the color!


Kamcing time.





Basically, there was no internet almost the whole day.

The answer is simple, the modem is dead.

No internet is like patah kaki sebelah uhuk uhukkkk. Am writing this backdatedly so can't really remember what happened.

Lunch for today. Invited Sebastian to eat with us as it's his last day.

New recipe malangnya tak sempat ambik gambo, pakcik dah balun almost all of them and left only 2 for me, cheh. Will do this again some of these days. It's called "Butter and cheesed prawns".


Can't go on a day without taking pics of my tulips before the end of tulip's season.

Fwd : Wake up for Fajr Salaah

A man woke up early in order to Pray the Fajr Prayer in the masjid.

He got dressed, made his ablution and was on his way to the masjid.

On his way to the masjid, the man fell and his clothes got dirty.


He got up, brushed himself off, and headed home. At home,

He changed His Clothes, made his ablution, and was, again,

on his way to the masjid.


On his way to the masjid, He Fell again and at the Same Spot!

He, again, got up, brushed himself off and headed home.

At home he, once again, Changed His Clothes,

made his ablution and was on his way to the masjid.


On his way to the masjid, He Met a Man Holding a Lamp.

He asked the man of his identity and the man replied 'I Saw You Fall Twice

on your way to the masjid,

So I Brought a Lamp so I can Light Your Way.'

The first man thanked him profusively and the

two where on their way to the masjid.



Once at the masjid, the first man asked the man with

the lamp to come in and pray Fajr with him.

The second man refused.

The first man asked him a couple more times and,

again, the answer was the same.

The first man asked him why he did not wish to come in and pray.

He man replied

I am Shetaan(devil/ evil)


The man was shocked at this reply.

Shetan went on to explain,

'I saw you on your way to the masjid

and it was I who made you fall. When you went home,

cleaned yourself and went back on your way to the masjid,

Allah forgave all of your sins.

I made you fall a second time, and even that

did not encourage you to stay home,

but rather, you went back on your way to the masjid.



Because of that, Allah forgave all the sins

of the people of your household .

I was AFRAID if i made you fall one more time,

then Allah will forgive the sins of the people of your village,

so I made sure that you reached the masjid safely..'

So do not let Shetan benefit from his actions.

Do not put off a good that you intended to do as

you never know how much reward

you might receive from the hardships you encounter

while trying to achieve that good.

If forwarding this message will bother you, or take

too much time from you, then don't do it, but you will not

get the reward of it, which is great. Imagine,

that when you forward this, you receive 240 good deeds,

and so will I for sending it to you! Wouldn't it be easy just to

Press Forward ' and receive this Reward?

May Allah (Subhana Ho Wataallah) grant us perfect Muslim Heart n we

all do Prayers with our Heart and Soul...

............ .. ......... ......Ameen


P/S: Kalau daku lar kan bila diperkenalkan diri sebagai setan gondol kan, mau pengsan itu jam jugak

ROTAN (APR 22)

Adam got a present from the bank for his 7th anniversary. A mini Monopoly.


Back home, keep on asking me to play with him so here it goes. Dgn si Ida duk mengacau, nak main sama that few times kena marah ngan mak dia. Actually she wanted to play but we said no. My poor girl. I did let her play in the end. Ada jer benda dia terlanggar grrrrrrrrrrrr.

On today, she wanted to join us for prayers.


With her own sejadah, her own place.


Of course lar kan, byk main jer.


Flying kiss especially 4 her mama.


Adam did some madelaines with grandma. Siap warning mak dia lagi something like "you cant eat anymore, you have eaten too much." Cheh.



Keropok yg adikku cayang beli masa balik Msia the last time. To me, agak leceh nak goreng keropok. Utk hasil yg sedap, rangup dan tak tebal, kena goreng satu satu... kalau masuk sekali byk mmg tebal dan keras. Ni kes tak reti goreng keropok bebanyak lar nih.

Tapi lepas tu krup krap krup krap depan tv perghhhhhhhhh. I thought the kids didnt give a damn sbb I remember long time ago, they didnt like this, katanya busuk. But tonite, semua serbu keropok ku itewwww.

Since he knows how to ride a bike, he keeps on going round and round, tawaf satu taman during his spare time. Such a pleasure to see that, seeing him enjoying riding his bike.

As cik adik, duk ulang alik dari rumah sampai the end of the garden. Mulut menceceh ceceh mcm mak nenek adalah perkara biasa.

Dah lama membara tengok kerenah budak budak nih. So tonite, naik angin. Apa taknya, lepas Isyak, si Adam pun dah selesai dah, mak dia tgh baca Yassin, diorang buat perangai. Sapa lagi kalau bukan si Ida nih. Suruh cari botol in our room dia takut nak masuk sbb gelap.

Si Adam plak suruh temankan adik dia, dia taknak, end up Ida melalak.. you know melalak mengada ngada typically budak pempuan punya melalak. So that's it, I got mad. Dua dua kena belasah 3 das tali pinggang kat punggung, melalak lar tapi bukan sakit mana pun but they were kind of shocked yelah jarang kena pukul kan, selalu kena warning jer. Si Ida sampai tak terkeluar suara sbb tak sangka mak dia akan rotan, padan muka.

My tulips on today.

FW : THE OTHER STALL

This could happen to you!

I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying:
'Hi, how are you?'

I'm not the type to start a conversation in the restroom. I don't know what got into me, but I answered, somewhat embarrassed, 'Doin' just fine!'

And the other person says:
'So what are you up to?'

What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say:
'Uhhh, I'm like you, just sitting here.'

At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question:
'Can I come over?'

Ok, this question is just too weird for me. I figured I could politely end the conversation. I say:
'No........I'm a little busy right now!!!'

Then I hear the person say, nervously:
'Listen, I'll have to call you back. There's an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions!!'

FRANCE MINIATURE (APR 21)

We left to France Miniature park at closed to 1pm. It's like 53km away, took like 50min by car.

Yg peliknya on the way back, masing masing segar bugar lar plak. We dropped by at Carrefour coz hubby wanted to buy 7 balls for Adam's birthday. Ended up beli barang rumah which cost 200Euros plus hu huuuuuuuuuu. Sib baik bukan haku yg bayor muahahaha.

Basically, I like the park. It was MIL who told me bout this place. Everything about France is there. Am surely gonna bring dad or sis or my family to go there, other than Disneyland of course. Coz this park is truly France!


The kids fell asleep on the way back and we let them sleep in the car while I was arranging barang². Ni paling boring sekali, mengemas barang rumah lepas shopping.

BON ANNIVERSAIRE ADAM ! (APR 20)

My boy celebrated his 7th year on earth. Cepatnya dah besar anak mama. Like I couldnt believe I have a 7yr old son. Ni kes perasan muda lar ni muahahahahah.

We celeberated his birthday at Buffalo Grill.
Hubby already reserved the place yesterday. IL were there too.

Lepas the meal, they played the Happy Birthday music. Adam was like surprised and turned red. Suddenly became so shy when the guy working there came with a big plate with cakes. Bloody yummy.

Posing before going back.


Birthday boy...




The kids ... well behaved ... than usual hih hih hih. Both Adam and Ida were seperated but in the end, dah abis makan, adik cari gak abang, duk menyelit kat sebelah.
As it's Adam's birthday, I tried not to be angry with him. Altho dia tertumpahkan orange juice kat carpet during breakfast and ketakutan takut mak dia marah. No homework either for him.

Upacara bukak hadiah.




Grandpa and grandma bought a skateboard for Adam.


Dinner tonite. Nasi goreng biasa for them.



Nasi goreng kampung for me. Tell me how can I live without rice hu huuuuu



Flowers in my little garden.








This morning, time to petik tulips, made a bouquet of it for MIL .




Cik adik dgn tak mandinya mengekor mak dia. Selebet abes muka ngan baju tido.


My bouquet of tulips in the veranda.






Pun begitu gak sebok nak menyelit, main pancit pancit air.

GARDENING (APR 19)

In the mood utk kemas veranda sbb sikit lagi nak jadi tongkang pecah. Changed the cover of the cushion. Flashy green gitewww.

It' Sunday and in the mood for some gardening. After lunch, we left to Delbard not far away. Hmm suddenly couldnt find my handbag hih hih hih so pakcik lar yg bayor ari ni, cerdik sungguh haku.

Shopping for today. Marker for my plants.

Pokok anggur.


Something to plant in the garden. I realised that altho the package is always the same, what's inside are always changing depending on the season. For example last year I bought the same box, but inside, there are tulips and all the plants for spring where else in the box now contains bulbs for the flowers which will grow in summer.


Hubby bought me a new gadget. Something utk membajak tanah.


Back home, berkebun time while the kids playing in the garden. Penatnya berkebun ni actually, sakit belakang sih and it's taking a long time.

Tambah plants in my little garden, then moved on at the middle of the garden behind. During this time, hubby was busy mesin rumput with the kids sbb they wanted to play football tapi rumput panjang so they had no choice but to cut it.

Rajinnya anak bujang mama ni tolong buang rumput dlm tong sampah. Bangga and kesian pun yer gak.

Later on main pancit pancit air sbb baru beli kat kedai tadi tempat pancit air for each of them. Elok daku tengah bersihkan kebun kecik nih, potong tulips and narcisses, dipancitnya air kat kepala gue, mau gue tak hangin. Siapa lagi kalau bukan si Adam. Siap kata "sorry sorry".

Ida ni mmg lar hyper dlm rumah nih. Yg meributkan rumah ni dia jugak. Adam pun boleh jadi stress ngan dia nih. Keep on following him everywhere, menyakat pun yer gak. Abang main nintendo, dia duk tolak tolak kepala lar. Pendek kata, ada jer benda dia buat to bother him.

She didnt have her nap at all so couldnt understand how she can still be energetic like that. Of course there are times dia melalak for nothing sbb kepenatan tak tido. Bagi susu sebotol, tup tup lepas tu bertenaga balik cheh.

As usual, tak sah kalau tak ambik gambo my little garden. With the rest of the tulips yg tunggu masa nak layu.

CEKODOK PENYEK (APR 18)

Lunch time, as usual, susah betul nak suruh diorang ni makan. I dont know why.

Later on, work time. French and science subject for Adam. Ida too did her homework using a new book coz she finished the other book. Now she's started using the book which meant to be for next entry. Alar bak kacang yg dikunyah ajer.



Later on puzzles for alphabets, numbers then finally games puzzles.

Tea time, did cekodok penyek. The kids were so happy to help me in the kitchen. Adam boleh diharap lar tukang kacau mixture. Cik adik pulak, banyak suap dlm mulut. Tolongnya idak, tolong makan ajer buleh lar.


He told me how sedap the cekodok is. Pls ignore that rantai mainan dia. Mmg cukup meluat tengok lelaki pakai rantai. But as it's for playing, it's ok for me.


My yummy kodok penyek hih hi hhih. Minum ngan menthe tea, perghhhh... sendawa kekenyangan lepas tu.



Mcm ni lar kan bila ada anak. Main game pun tak sinang, semua duk kerumun.


Cik minah buleh plak dia tangkap lalok kat atas bahu mak dia. Ni kes tak tido petang lar nih.

BOWLING AGAIN (APR 17)

We left to play bowling. Only 2 games on today.



Ida keeps on following Adam everywhere.





Aduh, ada bola sendiri, kasut sendiri, lagi teruk main especially hubby muahahahahaha. Malu sih. But anyway, bowling is just for fun.


I went to install the new printer for MIL in her office. She wasnt there, went to Paris. Tried cleaning our Canon camera. I guess have to send to its doctor. Already found the address for Canon center. Not easy with Ida. Keep playing with the other camera instead. Duk mengacau and snapping pics of me.


Not to forget, gambo siok sendili hih hih hih....

Dinner, roti telur with ayam masak kurma.






Adam's turn to sleep next to me. We played nintendo ds before sleeping. Resulting the kids to sleep at midnite something hu huuuuuuuuuuuu.

Tulips in the veranda.




Tulips left in my little garden ....



She and her babies ... come to think of it .. it's like me and my kids hih hih hih






Yg bergantung infront of the front gate.

FWD : 3 SURAH + 3 KEKUATAN = INSYA'ALLAH HIDUP TAK AKAN TERPESONG

Sekadar menyampaikan. ........

Pesanan terbaik dari seorang rakan....
Assalamualaikum,
Just wanna share with everyone kisah benar yang saya lalui.

Baru- baru ni ketika saya nak ke Surau berdekatan dgn rumah saya
untuk sembahyang Isyak, seorang pak cik berjanggut putih dan berjubah
putih dari jauh melemparkan senyum kepada saya. Kerana masih ada banyak waktu,
saya tunggu pak cik berjanggut putih tu dan bertongkat yang tidak
saya kenali itu. Timbul di hati saya untuk jalan seiringan ke surau.

Bila beliau hampir pada saya, kami saling memberi salam.
Orangnya sudah berumur. Tiba-tiba, pak cik itu memulakan perbualan.
Beliau cakap dalam bahasa Melayu dan Inggeris yang agak baik.

Beliau cakap semua ayat Quran baik dan penting, tapi ada tiga surah
yang beliau 'pegang' betul-betul, dan beliau nasihatkan saya supaya
pegang betul-betul juga. Beliau juga nasihatkan saya supaya pesan
pada anak-anak supaya pegangnya betul-betul.

Pertama, Surah Al-Fatihah.
Selain penting untuk sah sembahyang, ia juga ada doa minta bantuan Tuhan dan mintak tunjukkan jalan yang betul.
Mudah-mudahan dengan 'menjaga' bersungguh-sungguh surah Al-Fatihah,
akan terbuka pintu jalan yang betul untuk kita, kata pakcik.

Kedua, Surah Al-Ikhlas.
Surah ini, katanya, surah tauhid.
Kita mesti ingat Tuhan itu Esa dan semua amalan mesti untuk-Nya. Tak
guna buat baik tapi tak ikhlas.

Ketiga, surah Al-Kafirun.
Bahagian ini, menarik sikit.
Pak cik tu cakap surah Al-Kafirun ada kena mengena dengan zaman
sekarang, zaman globalisasi. Dalam zaman globalisasi, katanya, anak-anak saya
mesti diajar supaya pegang betul-betul surah itu. Sebab, dalam zaman
globalisasi, anak saya mungkin kena kerja atau belajar sampai ke Amerika atau ke mana-mana.
Kalau dia pegang pada surah Al-Kafirun, insya-Allah, dia akan selamat,
kata pak cik. Dia akan bergaul dengan orang beragama lain, tapi dia
sedar 'untukmu agamamu, untukku agamaku'.


Betul juga, fikir saya. Kemudian, pak cik cakap ada satu lagi perkara
yang saya mesti pegang. Orang Islam, katanya, mesti ada 3 kekuatan.

Pertama, kekuatan minda
Minda, kata pak cik, ialah ilmu. Orang Islam mesti ada ilmu, termasuk
ilmu moden, ilmu teknologi, ilmu teknologi maklumat (IT) dan > sebagainya
kerana ilmu-ilmu itu perlu untuk hidup.

Kedua, kekuatan hati
Hati ialah iman, kata pak cik. Hati orang Islam mesti kuat supaya betapa
banyak sekali pun ilmunya, dia sedar siapa yang lebih berkuasa. Bila
ilmu ada iman, barulah ilmu dan hidup jadi betul... Kala u minda kuat tapi
hati tak kuat, maknanya kekuatan tak seimbang dan ilmu boleh rosakkan
iman, kata pak cik.

Ketiga, kuat fizikal
Pertama-pertama, kalau tubuh badan lemah, susah ilmu nak masuk dalam
minda, kata pak cik.. Kala u pun ada ilmu dan ada iman, jika tubuh badan tak
kuat, susah nak beramal. Maknanya, kekuatan masih tak seimbang, katanya.



Habis saja pak cik cakap pasal tiga surah dan tiga kekuatan, beliau
minta diri dan hilang dari pandangan saya setiba nya di surau tersebut.

Terima kasih kepada pak cik berjanggut tu. Pesanannya memang baik untuk saya
sampaikan.

BYE BYE HALF TULIPS (APR 16)

My lunch. Ayam masak lemak cili api.

Their lunch.

After solat, it's working time for the kids. Math subject on today for Adam and also practicing campur, tolak, darab and bahagi using flashcards. Adam enjoyed so much when it comes to flashcards. Bersemangat giteww.



As for cik adik, flashcards for alphabet and numbers. Then in the end, playing with puzzles.

Adam did his Asar, then main basikal round and round in the garden with Ida. Me on the other hand, potong all the tulips yg dah layu, taking off the wild plants yg tumbuh bagai cendawan lepas hujan.



Anak oh anak. Ada bilik utk main, siap ngan tv, ngan sofa, dia nak menyempit gak main geletek geletek kat opis mak bapak dia. Duk main menyorok nyorok bawah kaki mak pak dia. Dgn Ida keep on yelling, mmg lar very annoying. Sesikit menjerit. Bila excited, menjerit grrrrrrrrrrrrr. There are times that rasa nak cekik cekik je budak nih.

By the way, she was punished before sbb lepas mandi, mak dia panggil suruh hembus ingus, boleh plak dia buat gaya jalan mcm kura kura. Daku dah lar tak sihat nih. Counted till 3, pun tak jalan, dia buat jugak style kura kura. So in the end, kena punished duduk kat tangga nak naik ke loteng and Ive closed the door.

Melalak tak hengat tapi lepas tu tahan nangis and cakap something like "i stop crying now".

Time to take off the tulips yg dah layu dan tumbang. Sedih sih.









But I could save few so that I can put it in the veranda.

NOT WELL (APR 15)

My beautiful tulips in the veranda.



Am not feeling well. That's it. I took a cold. Benci betul. Head feeling heavy, tekak sakit and rasa nak demam. At the moment, I'm feeling so ugly.


Gave something to eat to Sebastian for lunch as we have lot of things to eat. He seems to enjoy it, tambah lagi tu.


Sent Adam to class ugama but turns out takde klass. Ni lar dia bila miss klass on Sunday, any anouncement mmg miss. I should really ask the young cikgu her hp number to know if there's a class or not each time. Losing my time going there is not fun at all.

Adam on the other hand was so happy takde klass, cheh.
Back home, the kids played in the garden while I was snapping some pics. Hubby was still busy. Adam as usual, round satu garden with his bike.


I went for a walk just infront of the house, to snap photos of tulips which is also coming to an end. Of course, cik adik ikut sama kan.




Mak dia nak snap gambo bunga, dia plak interprame buat mcm mcm gaya. Dah ler depan traffic light nih, lot of cars. People didnt stop looking and smiling looking at her.


Adam did yummy madelaines with grandma.



As for me, school holiday means relax from work. I cant work when the kids are around. Lucky them that we are working at home. Otherwise, they might have to stay at the nursery with other kids.

I keep wondering how the kids will look like when they grow up.. Each time I see mix guys/ladies, I would be wondering about my kids.


Bunga bungaan for today.





My little garden.


























The garden. Cant wait for the coquelicots to come out. I love red!!



Takut gak kut kena sengat hihihi...

FWD: akibat terlalu banyak tido?

Mengapa tidur lebih dari lapan jam sehari tidak dianjurkan?

Profesor Daniel F. Kripke, salah seorang peneliti mengatakan bahwa terlalu banyak tidur sama seperti terlalu banyak makan.

Tubuh tidak memerlukan lebih dari yang ia perlukan, terlalu banyak tidur hanya akan membuat organ tubuh melemah.

"Sebaiknya setiap orang mempunyai kebiasaan tidur 6,5 jam sehari, tapi harus tidur yang berkualiti. "Tak ada alasan untuk menambah jam tidur, tubuh akan memberitahu kita berapa banyak jam yang ia perlukan untuk beristirahat, " ujar Prof... Daniel.


Jadi, merujuk pada penelitian di atas maka dapat diambil kesimpulan bahwa tidur tujuh jam sehari adalah yang terbaik.

Penelitian tersebut menunjukkan bahwa tubuh paling merasa nyaman jika hanya tidur selama tujuh jam. Tak masalah juga jika tidur kurang dari tujuh jam sehari. Misalnya, enam atau lima jam sehari.

"Tapi ingat, tidak baik bagi kesehatan apabila Anda terus menerus tidur kurang dari lima jam sehari dalam waktu yang cukup lama," ujar Prof. Daniel mengingatkan.


"Kalau selama ini Anda tidur lebih dari yang diperlukan oleh tubuh, maka mulai sekarang hilangkan kebiasaan tersebut. Tidurlah yang berkualiti dan yakinlah bahwa tidur selama tujuh jam sehari telah mencukupi dan membawa impak yang positif bagi kesehatan Anda," ujarnya.

HEY IT'S BOWLING TIME AGAIN! (APR 14)

The kids were downstairs when he came home. Adam requested for omelette for breakfast so did for hubby too. Bila dah nak abis, cik adik pulak nak padahal tau dia tak makan, saja jer nak sama ngan orang lain. Bila merengek rengek maka terpaksalah mak dia buat, sebiji je lar. Aikk makan plak dia ari nih.

Hubby was damn busy. The part time guy came to work on today. So far, not too bad and no complain from hubby. Kepala berkerak kerak byk kelimumur tu lantak ko lar kan hih hih hih.

Lunch for today.

The kids kekadang mmg rasa nak kena rotan jer. I cant even work peacefully in the office, mesti semua datang then main kejar kejar, buat bising in the office while hubby was doing his editing or when he was on the phone with his client.

So that's it, I had to go outside in the garden with them. Ida kena punished on today. Berdiri at one corner for awhile sbb dia pukul kepala abang dia ngan racket badminton. Adam keep on complaining that I didnt do anything when Ida's doing mistakes so on today serta merta punishment dikuat kuasakan.(after watching the Super Nanny).

Punyalah menangis teruk and refused to listen but I was firm enough with her that she had no choice. Bila time dah abis, asked her what she did wrong and she told me. Katanya tak buat lagi. Hmm yelah tu.

So funny. Dad's ringing tone is the song "duit duit duit". So on today, the kids didnt stop singing that while playing in the garden. Yg paling kelakar si Ida hih hih hih. Gonna film this tomorrow and post it here.

Budak² ni kalau tak ketuk mmg tak jalan. Tak suruh sembahyang mmg tak sembahyang. I do hope and pray that when he grow up, he will do it himself. Everyday, he will be asking me, "in how many days you can pray?". Ni kes dengki lar ni mak dia tak sembahyang.

He loves so much reading science books. Hubby bought him a book about the formation of a volcano so during his free time, he would be reading it.

He could work on today, basically some tests from his books. For french, history, geography and science. Ida wanted to work but I told her later on. Later on became nothing at all as I didnt have time.

We went for a bowling at our usual place. Directly hubby went to by his bowling set. Ukur tangan dsb, took about 30min. So both of us have our own bowling set. No more paying for the rent of the shoes, no more sharing ball with other people.

I love this place, tak ramai orang, main pun aman you. Susahnya nak strike ari ni tak tau napa. I remember the guy asked me to take at least number 10 ball but I refused. Too heavy for me. Hubby was wondering maybe my ball (number 8) is too light for me, that's why hard for me to strike. Ye lar tu, main pun lintang pukang apa taknya.

As for hubby, teruknya score dia ari nih. Tu lar dia bola berat sgt, size 14tuuuu where usually it's 12 or 13. Tu lar ikut lagi lar advise orang jual bola itewww. Just like me, he advised me to take 10 sbb agaknya tengok badanku yg gagah perkasa ni kut but I said no way that I can play with that ball. Keras kepala mcm bola bowling gak gue hih hi hhih.

Yg boringnya this place, they dont have the automatic pagar yet so kitorang pun kena main naik pagar. Adam played much better now, ada lar improvement dari segi baling.

Duk lari sana lari sini budak budak nih. Si Ida suka tul letak kepala kat tempat keluar angin tu so gerbang ala ala pontianak gitew rambut dia.


Tumbuhan in the veranda. Daun kesum ni leh tahan gak gemuk dia walaupun ada 3 batang jer and surrounded by coriandre.


Another pasu with coriandre. Senang nak masak, petik jer. Tak payah nak terhegeh hegeh gi beli kat kedai.


Durian ku ... rasa mcm terbantut je tumbasaran dia. Terlebih air kut.


Serai yg semakin merimbun.


Tulips yg dah jadi arwah.

Taking the the pics as much as I can before the end of tulips season uhuk uhuk.

SAINTE IDA (APR 13)

It's Sainte Ida day.

Immediately after breakfast, called up hubby, we almost forgotten about it. She was happy to receive her presents and immediately played with it.

Didnt even want abang Adam to play with it. Mmg kodokut.

I remember looking at the kid's channel when they announced about Sainte Ida day. Satu screen tulis "Fete Sainte Ida" and Ida was like so surprised, mata terbeliak, kesukaan. Me on the hand lagi cucuk lar kata "wowwwwwww nama Ida masuk tv hu huuuuuuuu, bonne fete, Ida".. lagi lah dia punya senyum malu malu and suka suka.

We could film the announcement on the other channel, less gempak than the kids channel.

Looking at Adam at one corner, I felt bad altho he didnt say anything. So gave him the present that hubby bought yesterday and he was so happy (altho he already knew about that present hih hih hih).

Later on we celebrated with IL.



Flowers from the garden for Ida's day.


For the pleasure of snapping pics.


Really Ida's day. Center of attention. And funny, Adam was like cari pasal with Ida and our conclusion is simple, jealousy for all the attention that Ida received.

Ida received a new bike from grandpa and grandma. Immediately hugged her grandma and grandpa, saying merci. She was so damn happy. Didnt stop going from the house till the end of the garden. She went really fast and she was just cycling half round, not one round as normal people. Both her and Adam went round and round in the garden with their bike.

Such a good weather. After lunch, we had a coffee in the garden while the kids were busy playing. Quite hot actually that in the end MIL couldnt stand it.

Little flowers tumbuh bagai cendawan in the garden as it was a good weather for the past few days. Masaklah nanti nak mesin rumput.




Mesyuarat tingkap.




Just for fun ....


Berbunganya hati tengok what ive planted in the garden, started to grow. Yg obvious is this "coquelicots"(poppy). Cant wait for them to grow and that will be soon!!

Watched the Super Nanny show. Bagus rancangan ni, guiding me on how to discipline the kids. In fact, my kids are not too bad at all compared to the kids in the show.

What Ive learned again and again, there is no use yelling at your kids when they did mistakes. It's making things worse. When they did mistakes, you have to punish them like berdiri kat tepi penjuru for awhile or to stay in their room. But before executing the punishment, you must explain to them why they are punished.

Never leave the table when they have not finish their meal. If they refused to eat their meal, warn them that there will be nothing at all to eat for them later on. When telling them something, you must perform what you have said, jgn angat angat taik ayam and changed your mind later on coz honestly, kids they learn fast and they can twist your mind easily.

Well, that's the lesson from Super Mama on today hih hih hih.

Simple dinner today, nasi goreng ayam.


Some of my tulips yg dah jadi arwah.













Sad to say that tulips season will be over soon.














Sebok jer suruh orang ambik gambar dia so I purposely jadikan dia blur kat belakang, padan muka. Ni kes balas dendam lar ni taking ugly pics of me. Revenge is so sweet bebeh hih hih hih

PAQUES (EASTER)

It's "Paques" on today or Easter they call it in english. It's more to the kids, hunting for the eggs and presents in the garden. Lucky them.

Basically, everything is in chocolate form. Lucky to those chocolate lover.




Jacqueline came and we had lunch at IL's. Look at this cheese. But sorry, I dont like this one.


I prefer the one in orange. Makan ngan salad mmg sedap. Very light.


Dessert time.



Favourite drink.. Adam pun suka. But not Ida. Too gazy for her.


Center of attention.

Ive got a present from Jacqueline. Something for gardening.

From MIL. Spices.

There's one, from Malaysia. Sarawak gitewwww... and MIL was so happy to have found that for me.



This morning while playing in the bathtub, Adam practiced the surah Al-Masad with me and now he can say it out loud alone, alhamdulillah. He was so excited to show to his young ustazah.

Nice weather on today. The kids played in the garden most of the time, with Adam, riding his bike from the house, till the end of the garden.

Beautiful flowers on today. Another type of tulip. Tajam tajam gitu.




Dont know what they were talking about.







Baru keluar... my new red hot tulips. Love 'em!!!






Tulips on the other side that Ive planted.

The proud gardener ...

BOWLING : I SUCK (APR 11)

We reached much early that the bowling place pun tak bukak lagi. Maka went to have lunch first and took an appointment to buy a bowling set for me.

Didnt ask for it but hubby just didnt want me to have my temper when people are using my ball. So on today, got my very first bowling set which cost him 150Euros. Merci, mon amour.

No excuse for me to be moody as he bought me something on today. At first, he wanted to buy for my birthday. But hey, it's too cheap for my birthday, hokayyyyyyy hih hih hih.

Dapat bola baru, kasut baru .... and I played like shit. Really like shit!! The worse ever. Ni kes masa first baling, tergolek sbb licin, sikit lagi nak tergolek ikut bola tu. Coz they just opened and just cleaned the place, can even see berminyak minyak kat that piste.






From that on, each time baling bola jadi lintang pukang sbb takut jatuh. Dan betapa berlagaknya pakcik nih sbb for the first time he beat me. Eksen nak mampus. Highest score ever, 165 where else the highest was by me and was only 145.
Sabar jer lar he keeps on repeating, talking about his scores, cheh.

As for Adam, first time for him to play without the pagar. Puas nak mengajar baling mcm mana. Finally he could do it altho selang seli baling tak tentu arah. Kena cari orang ajar dia ni main bowling nih.

Dan agak boring gak lar minah debab kat counter tu terover friendly lar plak pot pet pot pet and keep coming to us then telling me what went wrong when Ive thrown the ball. She asked me to go really to the right coz Im left handed. Since that on, lagi lintang pukang aku main knowing that someone is watching me.

Ada itu budak sudah kena rotan ari nih, suruh sembahyang dia terhegeh hegeh. Daku plak first day of period, bak kata orang, pempuan kalau period, angin satu badan.
I love to see this type of tree. Geram tengok the flowers. Mcm kapas pink ketul ketul kat dahan.







Pencuci mulut at nite.

SYMPTOMS (APR 10)

I am having the symptoms.

It's unusual that I dont have my period where else it's suppose to be last week of March and now we are in April.


I feel like I want to vomit.

I can be quite moody easily.

These are the symptoms ....




























... that I will have my period any time now...keh keh keh.

Sis is pregnant around 3 months ... same goes to Mimi, also 3 months ... the other friend also 3 months.

Agaknya musim mengawan kut kat Msia keh keh keh, jgn mare yer pada anda anda yg pregnant tu.

Lunch for today.


Left over satay gajah .. makan with the "banjir" style.

After Asar, Adam and Ida did their homework. Math on today. Byk mistakes si Adam buat. Buat exercise angat angat taik ayam, dia main hentam kromo nak cepat punya pasal. Geram betul. Sikit lagi nak kena piat telinga.



Ida did her TPS book, then flashcards for alphabet. Duk mengajar alphabet A to E. Wanting her to remember. Mcm mcm exercise buat nak bagi dia ingat. Adam on the other hand, duk ketawa terbahak bahak kat sebelah bila salah.

SATAY GAJAH (APR 9)

My little garden on today. Semalam tak ambik gambo sbb mendung the whole day, munga munga pun kuncup sih.

Time for Adam to qada yesterday's prayer that he missed. Then only he was allowed to go downstairs. Relaxing time with the kids, them watching tv, me, playing nintendo ds .. garfield game, watched by Ida. Mengalahkan budak² gue hih hih hih. Yg tak tahan tu when I could go to the next level, Ida would say something like "that's good mama, you did it" and kissed me on my cheek. Cewahhh.

6.30pm, time to work for the kids. Ida, doing her "Toute Petite Section" book and Adam, english subject.

Trying to make him pronounce words in english properly. Dont want him to speak english with that french accent ... very annoying, really.

Pening jugak, nak explain kat si Adam, si Ida terpanggil panggil. Mcm competition lar plak. But it didnt last a long time, less than one hour. This is the good thing of doing only one subject a day. He must be tired after a long day at school and didnt want to make him lose his interest in studying back home.

Marinate time. 1 jam ajerk gue marinate sbb tak sempat sih.


Satay size bapak gajah hih hih hih.





Yg missing, timun. Dan sungguh lah malas nak keluar beli timun kat seberang jalan nun jauh disana.

As for Adam, duk ulang alik berbasikal outside the house, till the end of the garden. So sweet when he tried teaching Ida how to ride her bike yg ada dua extra roda kecik kat belakang. I was looking from far, syahdunya tengok how responsible he is, my little boy that I love so much. Rasa nak nangis plak while writing this.

As for Adam, punyalah suka nampak mak dia bakar satay. Siap berdiri kat tepi then nganga mulut and kembangkan idung, so that asap satay masuk keh keh keh. Then he told me something like "im going to eat all this satay".

He tried another way to persuade Ida to give back his toys. Their conversation goes something like this:

Adam : Ida, dah besar nanti taknak masuk neraka kan.

Ida : Huh?

Adam : Dlm neraka ada api, kena bakar tau.

Ida : Taknak.

Adam : Kalau mcm tu, bagi abang mainan abang

Ida : No.

Tak jalan gak hih hi hhih. Few times abang kena beralah, kesian gak. Mcm manalah dia tak sakit hati ngan si Ida.

After Maghrib, Adam waited for me to finish Yassin, baring on my pangku, playing with his Oggy, almost tertidur but I could wake him up. We did our Isyak together and he got a licence to sleep with us coz he was such a nice boy on today.

Punyalah suka. Ive learned the fadhilat of Surah Al-Taha on today and explained to Adam about this. He knows now about Al-Kursi, he would be tellng me "it's to protect us". Altho he doesnt know how to say it yet.

My kids that I love so much. What will I do without you?

HAMPEH PUNYA ARAB (APR 8)

No wonder lar why Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. was chosen from this people. Dia punya bebal, tak makan saman, kurang ajar mmg takde tandingannya lagi. Dah lar bebal, bodoh sombong plak tu. Menambahkan lagi kemeluatan daku pada kaum peghak nih.

Want to know the story? Check it out here. My conclusion now is very simple for this tak bertamadun kaum dari Africa....mangkuk ayun punya orang.

Hubby left out early in the morning again so my day was fully occupied with the kids. Had lunch at Mc Donald which is quite far away, located at the highway coz they have something to play for the kids inside and the kids have to be outside for awhile to change the air.

Then had to rush to send Adam to his tennis class.


Left to Joueclub(kedai toys) and bought presents for Ida for her Sainte Ida day on the 13th and for Adam for his birthday. This is my part, hubby will buy for his part later on. Bought 2 big Oggy's soft toy for them so that they won't berebut. Oggy oh oggy, tak comel pun, mahalnya ko, satu jer dah 27Euros. Dua dah berapa.

Adam was so happy to see Oggy that Ida was carrying. Ida said "non, c'est a moi"(it's mine). Adam was upset but I showed him the other Oggy and he was so happy. So funny, the kids saw and all saying "ohhh Oggy". Even there was a little baby like 13months old, saw Ida's Oggy and wanting to grab it from Ida. The father said "ohh Oggy, any kid would know Oggy". Hih hih hih very very true.


Received the cleaning kit for my camera on today.

A guy who did the veranda, came to mesure the windows of our room and the bathroom. Time to change everything sbb dah tua dan tak cantik. One of these days, another people who did the renovation of this house will come to paint the house (outside).

Ida left with grandma to Mennecy to see Jacqueline. Ida was so damn happy to go. It was me suggested MIL to bring Ida as I wanted to be alone with Adam and she agreed. Already packed her with her Dora's bag. She left without saying goodbye to me grrrrrr coz I was upstairs, doing my Zohor. Hubby was back home by then.

Went home straight away and Adam did his Zohor, then only we left for a cinema at the shopping complex in Evry. Dragonball film.

Nak beli tiket, queue panjang, nak beli popcorn pun queue panjang, nak enter pun queue panjang. Sekali kat dalam hall utk film Dragon ball ada 6 orang jer muahahahaha. Mmg lar filem tahap cipan, shesuai lar utk budak², utk orang² tua alahai, imaginasi melampau, tak tahan lar gue. Tapi layan jer lar as Adam was so happy to be alone with me.

Siap pegang tangan mak dia lagi jalan, tak pernah pernah mcm ni bila ada Ida. Siap lentok kepala kat bahu mak dia lagi dlm wayang, perghhh manja abis.

So I am half chinese (mom's chinese) and Im gonna say this anyway.

Cina bukit manalah yg jadi awek si Son Goku nih wehhh. Takde yg cantik ke nak pilih. Hero sikit punya kiut cheh, buang karen sungguh. Terus jadi mcm low class, cokia film or whatever you can call.

Chow Yuen Fat aiyaaakkk sutah tua, look so dirty ooooo. Goli den menengok eh. Sib baik dah lepas makan time tu.

Demanding nya si Adam ni, kes nak bermanja manjaan lar tu. Nak itulah, nak inilah.

He ended up sleeping in the car, on the way back till the next morning ... meaning he missed his Asar till Isyak. Masaklah nak meng-qada esok.

As for Ida, she came back 1 hour after we reached home. Puji pujian dari nenek dia, kata punyalah baik si Ida, keluar pun pimpin tangan. Pendek kata, just like an angel lar. Kan udah ku bilang dia ni kalau sorang and takde mak pak or abang dia, mmg baik abes.


Grandma bought her ole ole that I couldnt even snap a pic sbb dia dah rabakkan kotak dia to take the things inside. So this one is from Jacqueline.

FWD: ADAKAH ANDA PENGGEMAR KANGKUNG?

Jika anda penggemar kangkung, tidak kira apa jenis kangkung, petis kangkung,
kangkung cos, dll yang berkaitan dengan kangkung, mungkin cerita ini dapat
menjadi pertimbangan bagi anda when you want to eat kangkung

Saya mendapat cerita ini dari seorang teman.

Pada suatu hari di klinik yang terkenal, semua doktor kebingungan kerana ada
seorang anak kecil yang menderita sakit perut. Anak itu dibawa ke klinik
oleh orang tuanya setelah 2 hari menderita diarhea . Sudah bermacam ubat
sakit perut yang diberikan kepada anak itu, namun diarhea nya tidak sembuh.

Di klinik, kedua orang tua anak tersebut ditanya oleh doktor, makanan apa
yang dimakan oleh anak tersebut selama 2 hari ini.

Orang tua anak itu kebingungan, kerana sejak anaknya diarrhea , anak
tersebut tak lalu nak mahu makan, dia hanya minum susu, itu pun akan muntah
semula.

Setelah dikaji, ternyata sebelum menderita diarhea , malam tersebut anak itu
makan kangkung cos di restoran oleh orang tuanya. Doktor segera melakukan
xray, ternyata dalami usus anak tersebut telah berkembang biak lintah dengan
anaknya yang kecil-kecil.

Doktor surrender dan menyatakan tidak sanggup mengambil tindakan medical
apapun.

Akhirnya anak kecil malang itupun meninggal dunia. setelah dikaji, ternyata
lintah itu sebelumnya berada di dalam batang kangkung yang besar. Memang,
untuk penggemar kangkung cos yang paling enak adalah batangnya. Lintah yang
berada di dalam batang kangkung itu tidak akan mati walau dimasak selama
manapun, apa lagi untuk kangkung cos proses memasak tidak terlalu lama untuk
menghasilkan rasa kangkung yang sedap. Lintah hanya akan mati jika dibakar.

Di dalam usus anak tadi, lintah yang hanya dalam 1 ke 2 hari berkembang biak
dengan cepatnya kerana menghuni didalam tubuh dan terus menghisap darah yang
ada, doktor juga menjadi bingung, bagaimana mematikan/membersih kan lintah
yang telah sangat banyak tersebut dari dalam usus anak malang itu.

Jujur, sejak mendengar cerita itu, kesukaan saya terhadap kangkung menjadi
berkurang, boleh dibilang sudah 1 bulan ini saya sama sekali tidak makan
kangkung dalam bentuk apa pun, bukan kerana menjadi paranoid, tapi bagi Saya
lebih baik menjaga segala kemungkinan yang ada, masih banyak sayur lain yang
dapat kita makan dengan meminimumkan segala kemungkinan 'lintah' yang
terselip di dalamnya. Semoga cerita ini dapat menjadi pertimbangan untuk
kita semua sebelum masak/makan kangkung. .

BACKDATED (APR 7)

So just another quiet day for me. Banyaknya benda nak buat tapi penyakit M ada. Hubby came back around 2pm, bought some pizzas(halal of course) for lunch. I warned him no more eating with us for the guy coz he's getting used, 2 hari kerja, 2 hari gak makan tanggung. Manyak cantek.

The guy is ok ... quite friendly. Tapi sorrylah, daku tak faham sgt accent dia as he's from south of France. Alar, lebih kurang mcm cakap melayu from Malaysia timur ngan Malaysia barat lar ... mesti ada beza cakap. Daku kalau tak concentrate mmg tak paham. Dia punya dengung tu mak ai.

Anyway ... could iron a basket of clothes and Adam could study before dinner. French, geography and science on today.

Lemah lutut bila cik adik pun start duduk atas kerusi, kata "je veux travailler"(I want to work). Actually it's good, just that to make her work, I have to be next to her all the time and she's quite demanding.




Before that, he was in the garden riding his bike after watching cartoon. It's like a habit for him to ride his bike and play football in the garden every evening.


Cik adik pun of course lar kan join sama. Bercakap sorang sorang lar dia, menyanyi lar dia.

Oh well, writing this backdated so can't remember exactly what happened on this day.

LES PORTES OUVERTES (APR 6)

There's a new temporary guy working for hubby for a month. A student doing his practical.

Nasi briyani kambing goreng hih hih hih ...



My last kopek laksa...

Went to take the kids with MIL. She waited for me at Adam's school. Kiranya mcm sessi report card lar nih. Mcm gempak bebeno.

Alhamdulillah, he's still doing great at school, everything is 1. There is nothing to worry according to his teacher. Yg daku tak puas hati with her statement:

1. He knows more than his friends so I let him do some drawings while his other classmates studying.
2. I want him to participate more in the class.

Tadi kata biarkan si Adam melukis sbb dia dah tau semua sementara his other friends catching up, lepas tu kata nak Adam participate plak.

But now, there are others yg catching up with Adam and almost as good as him. I wish they have a numbering system like in Malaysia to know who's the good one in the class...damn, they dont have. Coz it's like a discrimination to those doing not good at school.

They have not decided yet which class the kids will go. Every parent will be wondering and Im one of them. Why cant I just calm down and just monitor his studies?

MIL said that if Adam is doing well, is becoz of my hard work. Ooooo yeahhh.. tau takper hih hih hih.

Childish of me. Dapat mengendap result kekawan si Adam, Yanis and Elyes. And I must say that it was such a relief after seeing that hih hi hhih.

Cik minah during this time, sebok cari buku in Adam's classroom.


Memalukan jer mak budak terjerit jerit mcm orang gila to their kids, wanting to give the indirect message to each other. Buruk tul perangai mak si Marvin nih. Dah lar pendek, gemuk, not to mention ugly(tu dia daku dah melaser), perangai plak mcm tu.

Come on lar, your kids dah buat mistake kan, baling batu kat kepala budak lain, how can you still stand by your kids? You should correct them saying that it's bad to do that. But instead, terjerit jerit mcm orang gila, ngan muka mcm pempuan meroyan cakap something like "marvin, stop playing with Rayyan, each time you're playing with him, always have problem, always!!" sambil muka kurang ajar kat mak si Rayyan.

Mak si Rayyan started to raise her voice to Marvin tanya kenapa baling batu and Marvin keep on saying Rayyan started it. I mean come on lar, kalau anak buat salah, mak tolong back up, alamatnya besar kepala lar anak ko tu.

I saw this Adam and Marvin hiding so daku dah naik angin, sikit lagi nak meroyan mcm si gemuk pendek tu. Tanya ni menyorok ni mesti buat salah kan?? Rasa nak piat telinga jam tu gak. Dia tak jawab, muka dah takut kata tak. "Abis tu yg menyorok ngan Marvin tu kenapa??".

So I went to see Rayyan's mother. Si Adam dah ketakutan dah, saying "no, maman, noo".
"Excuse me, was it Adam who did that to Rayyan?"
She told me "no, according to Rayyan, it was Marvin. Very nice of you for asking".

Selamat ko Dam, kalau tak, nahas. Back home lepas dinner, homework time after more than a week goyang kaki sbb mak dia busy. French subject on today. Soon he will finish his CP books and am going to start on the CE1 book even if he's not in CE1 yet hih hi hhih. Over you.

He went to sleep after completing Isyak....sleeping late. As for Ida, she wasnt feeling that good, even her teacher said that. She fell asleep on the sofa without taking her dinner.

My flowers for today.



Kembang sekembang kembangnya bila matahari right on top.









Lepas kena siram.

SHOPPING DAY (APR 5)

We left to Paris 18eme around 11am I guess. Went to drop by something to a friend there. This area is like how can I say .... is like going to africa, if you know what I mean hih hih hih.

And how the tourists will have bad image on France if they are staying in this area. Really well known to be a bad area. You can see drug dealers everywhere. As for me, quite scary gak kalau jejalan sesorang kat tempat nih, sbb well known ramai pencopet. Mmg teramatlah dirty this area.

So to all of you Malaysian yg plan nak datang cuti in Paris, try to avoid staying at Paris 18eme area.

Cik adik dan cik abang, ice cream time.



So we left not long after and went for a shopping. My first leather jacket which cost 300Euros, a present from hubby and also 3 blouses hu huuuuuuu. Made my day that he told me "I hope you stop to be shitty now". Hih hihhih ... yup, sudah kena warning of course lar kan terpaksa tahan angin kus kus hih hih hih.



Dad received the box that Ive sent. In fact sis to received it as well as my other two friends. Alhamdulillah semua sampai. Antar barang kat Msia nih takleh nak declare gempak gempak ... takleh nak declare more than 40Euros, kalau tak, kastam sure tahan and charge tax...lahabau punya olang. Since I know the trick, no more declaring the exact items in the box and the exact amount. And ..... tawakal that it will receive safely. So far, alhamdulillah sampai when Im doing this.

Ida fever teruk when we reached home, so gave her some medicine and her temperature went down a bit.

Pop corn masak sendiri for tea time for the kids.



In the garden with the lil flowers...



His favourite activity other than main bola ...


"Mama seyum"(mama senyum) she asked me.


Fresh daun ketumbar from veranda ...


Nasi kambing .... errr buruknya bunyi ... ok lar tukar ... nasi briyani kambing ...


Menghabiskan sisa sisa laksa ....

My flowers on today ..... now only i know tulips ni bila malam jer dia kuncup ... bila tengahari time ada matahari, dia kembang sekembang kembangnya ala ala tuan dia ...

Lepas kena mandi ...


Sorrylah semua kuncup sbb dah nak malam....

Cherry tree ...




Putik pokok peach.


Magnolia.




I like this one, bau wangi ... siap ko akan ku potong ko masuk dlm jambangan ku esok ...


Again ... sakura

AFTERNOON WITHOUT THE KIDS (APR 4)

Kelam kabut prepared Adam for his karate class.

So Adam went with Yanis and his father after the karate. Hubby told me how embarassing when the prof. of the karate told the father of Yanis infront of other parents "Yanis come here. I have enough of you putting the mess and never listen to me. If you do that again, I will exclude you from this class".

Then she turned to hubby "As for Adam". Hubby was like "gulppp"... wondering what mistake he did and that he's ready to kick Adam infront of anyone if it's the same complain.

She continued "Adam is really good in kicking, he's the only one who can make fall down the target. Im proud of you, Adam". Perghhhhhhhhh betapa kembangnya lobang idung bapak dia.

Dah berapa minggu bapak si Yanis insisted to bring Adam for a bicycle ride, bila tiba masanya, bapak si Yanis plak cakap "errr ari ni ker?". Maunya tak angin, hubby almost give up and wanting to go back but Yanis was almost crying asking Adam to come.

I told hubby no more of Adam doing bicycle with other people other than his own family.

As for Ida, she left with grandma to a big chateau(castle) call Chateau de Saint-Jean de Beauregard coz there's plant exhibition there.
They call this something like Menara Pigeon, kiranya rumah utk pigeons ler.




Burung hantu ... in french is call "Hibou"...
Nenek dia semalaman duk risau mcm mana kalau Ida merengek.






Ida was so excited, was ready with her Dora bag bought by pakteh. Then waited outside and said something like "im ready, are you ready?" to her grandma who was looking from the window.

Put her chair in MIL's car, dgn gumbiranya si Ida duduk, tunggu nenek dia dalam kereta.
So happy to go, keep on smiling and waving at me. My heart melt .... oh my girl, this is the first time you're going out with your grandma and I already miss her.



Suddenly the house seems so quiet without the kids. Hubby and me left at 12noon to Belle Epine. It's bowling time, oooo yeahhhh.

So MIL was happy for the outing with Ida, saying that Ida was as nice as an angel hih hih hih. Ini mcm kalu mmg akan keluar lagi lar Ida ngan nenek dia.

Roast lamb for dinner.


Laksa for me.


Inilah dia kerja diorang bila mak dia busy kat atas. Bapak dia plak biarkan ajer anak dia buat sesuka hati, duk main "salotape".



Senang tak payah beli mainan si Adam nih, bagi kotak besar, dah cukup suka, dia buat rumah kecik utk dia sembunyi from Ida hehehe.


My plants for today. You might find the same flowers again and again but me on the other hand, will never have enough of taking some shots of my beautiful flowers.





Cherry tree.

CARNAVAL (APR 3)

Magnific tulips and tabik spring kat the gardeners who planted all these flowers. Mmg great job! Suddenly, bila balik tengok my tulips rasa sedih plak sbb jarak mcm padang jarak padang tekukur. Teramatlah jauh from each other uhuk uhuk.







But there must be hundreds of tulips planted there sedangkan daku punya yg seciput tu pun dah seratus kut (esok gue kira) so diorang punya yg maha merimbun tu hmmm must be more than one thousand of it hu huuuuuuuuuuu. Kopak makcik kopak wehhhh.





Sukanya tengok pokok ni, mcm kapas jer bunga bunga tu sbb segumpal.

My tulips on today....






It was the day ... the carnaval day at school for sekolah Adam (small section) and Ida's school.

Waited for this day... to see my little girl berarak for the first time.

I remember the same carnaval 4yrs ago when Adam was in the same class as Ida. He was almost 3yrs during that time. Ya rabbi muka cembeng dia, kalau boleh nak masuk bawah ketiak mak dia.

Not even a smile, lagi sadis bila nampak mak dia.

Unlike my sweet little angel. Keep on smiling and waving, ala ala lambai kat peminat gitewww. We were so proud of our little girl.

Her smile which melt my heart each time she sees me. I called her "ma minette"(my little girl) each time and people would be smiling.


Hubby went with his big camera for shooting. Mata mata terbeliak gak lar memandang then keep asking what kind of job he's doing. The teachers would be pointing to him, telling the kids "hey that's the father of Ida" or "hey, that's the father of Adam".

Dan betapa besarnya lobang idung si Adam, bangga depan kekawan dia, bapak dia datang bawak camera besar.

Suddenly I see him as a really big boy. He was behind, didnt stop talking to his teacher. Later on he told us something like "i'm the protector of my class, that's why I was behind". Ceh, perasan tak abes.


Later in the evening, berkebun time while the kids playing in the garden with hubby. Bolasepak lar apa lagi. Ida stopped to help me a bit.



Pokok sakura pojaan hati. It used to be so big, located outside our house. But since the renovation, they're obliged to cut the tree and plant part of it in the garden. Nasib baik tumbuh jugak.



Our big cherry tree. The small one baru nak berputik.




Adam helped me to siram tempat berkebun. Here, we used air takungan utk siram pokok. Sbb air hujan lagi bagus dari air paip utk the plants. Yelah natural gitew kan. Kalau air paip tu dah campur ngan mcm mcm.


Due to the size, hubby had to do it in another format to be able to upload it at Daily Motion. But the result is not good, video becoming blur. Perhaps will upload the original version later on.

LUCKY (APR 2)

Ni tulips size xxs, height around 10cm. Really small and cute.



Narcisses for today.


I am just one of the ungrateful creature in this world. Think of it, how lucky I am to work from home, not having to rush every morning to go to work ... to have all my time for my kids. Altho I dont have time for myself, in the end, it doesnt matter.

All that count is my children. Altho I would be meroyan dikala bulan mengambang, abaikan ajer. Meroyan dikala bulan mengambang adalah sgt normal hihihi..

While sleeping, tabung Spiderman si Adam in the dining room started making sounds where else dah berapa lama tak berbunyi. Non stop, really non stop. Dah penakut mind datang, duk imagine ada anak jin kut duk main tabung dia main jolok jolok lubang kasi bunyi. Pakcik dah membebel why I didnt go, ewah ewah, ingat diri sendiri jer komer yer so I pretended to sleep muahahahahaha so he had no choice but to turun bawah and put the tabung in the basement.

My oh my, mengembang ala ala tuan dia, wa punya tulips in the afternoon sbb dapat enough light.


I regret to not have planted more sbb lar nih, jarak mcm sebatu from each other. Takper takper, next year will be better. I learn from experience. First time for me to plant tulips so now I know the trick.




I love this one ... 2 color tulips.






My favourite ... the light was perfect!


Sian dia dianak tirikan semenjak tulips menjelma.


Cherry tree.


Laughing with grandma's joke
Apple tarte by MIL.




So, the gardener came again to clear off tempat utk berkebun. He did a great job, really! Well, pls dont imagine the hot, good looking gardener like in the Desperate Housewives hokayyyyyy. He is young but the simple one, rambut panjang giteww. Harus aku curi² snap gambo dia nanti muahahaha.



Maka dgn itu hamba dapatlah bercucuk tanam hu huuu. So that was my activity in the evening, berkebun while the kids main in the garden with hubby. Later on Ida main kejar kejar kat tempat I was berkebun. Al maklumlah dah ada jalan kecik kat tengah tengah kebun, bukan main suka lagi dia.


Collection of red flowers here.


Coquelicots(poppy) and dahlias


Adik beradik bunga matahari, menda ntah nama dia.


Finished closed to 8pm. Kena masak plak, thought that pakcik will cook cheh. Daku pot pet pot pet barulah dia prepare something for the kids hih hi hhih. Bini zaman millenium, ooooo yeahhhh muahahahaha.

For the pleasure of photographing.

JUST ANOTHER WEDNESDAY (APR 1)

Veranda on today.


Might have to throw these roses soon.


Cut off from the garden .. not from my little garden aaa, manyak sayang ooo hih hih hih. Yg ni taken at the end of the garden, depan hubby's office. Alar, tatak olang lalu sana ma, baik wa kasi potong ooo hih hih hih.

Adam did his Isyak yesterday nite and slept pretty late around 10.30pm I guess. Lying next to me while I was updating my blog so I could carress him and he fell asleep. My boy that I love so much. So before sembahyang Subuh, dia request dulu kat mak dia something like "but you will do half boil egg for breakfast, ok". What a pleasure. Baik Adam, baik Ida, baik papanya, licin abis makan.

Lunch at home, sudah kena warn abiskan makanan kat rumah dulu. Paella for hubby and me. Few hours later on, both of us sakit perut muahahaha. I was in advance to take him from his tennis class, watching him. Mulut mcm bertih jagung rupanya budak ni pot pet pot pet. Then turn dia pukul bola, dia gi pukul bola kena kat perut cikgu dia, cikgu dia plak pura pura meraung kesakitan and tergolek kat lantai, the kids laughed and so was I.




Could talk to the boss there about Ida. Ida will try a session there in June and if she likes it, will register her for September. Bila tanya dia of course lar dia taknak, katanya "suis encore petite" (i am still small).

Time for me to siram my plants sbb semalam tak buat.
(Jangan ditanya ni gaya apa, gaya Power Rangers kut)

Ida fell asleep on the way back after taking Adam. I paid yuran for this month. Talked for awhile to that young teacher. Conclusion: Don't expect that you can talk in that foreign language that you have just learn if the language of your surrounding is not the same. Unless if you are a genius of course. But learning something without practicing it is like masuk telinga kiri, keluar telinga kanan.

Back home, experiment volcano with Adam while Ida was sleeping. Punyalah excited si Adam. Wa ingat ada lar meletup ke hapa but actually just berbuih hih hi hhih. Berzanggut acik tunggu and Adam was so excited but disappointed sbb tak meletop hih hi hhih.

My new experiment plak in the kitchen. Will write down the recipe soon on the other blog. Ida helped me in the kitchen. Sambil tolong sambil makan cheese but she was so happy to help me. Well, Im gonna call this "batonnet de poulet"(chicken stick).

My little garden on today. Tulips byk dah menunjukkan diri.


Allah's beautiful creation.



2 color tulip.




Bakal mengembang esok.




Beautiful Narcisse.




When I look at them, automatically I would say "the lovers".


Big cherry tree in the garden.



Narcisse again in the garden. Yg ni tak sampai hati nak potong sbb cantik, serimbun giteww.


Of course, with the model.


Magnolia. Pokoknya kecik lagi. Tunggu bila besar, it will be so good looking.


Sakura.
