IM THE BOSS

Despite Jade had her dinner, even dessert, she still woke up 2 times during the nite. Apalagi lar yg tak kena ni nak.

Hubby was the one to be ready early. Jadi bossy sikit pagi ni and told him:
"This morning you do like I always do. Bring Jade downstairs, heat up the water for her breakfast, clean and prepare the breakfast".

And he did what I say. But of course it was not perfect :p ... so zip it up, lady.

Two girls were ready late, around noon. Then off we had lunch at the halal Japanese resto in Corbeil.

Then off for groceries at Evry. Bagus betul budak bujang dua orang ni. Know exactly what to do. Sungguh ringan tulang. Kat cashier pun diorang yg letak barang ke trolly. Balik rumah diorang tolong angkat. Zup zap zup zap dah clear. Tinggal makcik tembel nak set in order jer .. eh daku lar tu.

Pastu ngan budak budak ni pun diorang pandai layan. More touching bila ngan Jade pun diorang sayang. Walaupun mak diorang gila meroyan kan dan setiap kali bikin daku hangin.

GOOD

Smell of a fresh bread in the morning hmmmm yum yummm.





Despite her back in form, Jade still wakes up 2times during the night. And at 7.30am, she wouldn't want to sleep anymore.

So i assume that she is hungry n i didnt feed her well enough. So today, breakfast, lunch, teatime, dinner..semua complete. Lunch n dinner siap ada dessert lg tu. If bangun byk kali gak x tau lar nak ckp.

Did briyani with roast lamb. Josh's husband, Abel saw the pics in my old album with fb n requested spicy food for him n josh. Dropped by at 6pm to pass it to them. Had a chat with both of them, that was nice.

The two boys are ok at the moment. Adorable with my kids. Eliott even bought a little gift for Jade, Adam and Ida. The thought that count and this is very touching.

They helped me to prepare dinner.

FULL HOUSE

It was kinda calm day. Weather was great, sun was shining, till the veranda is very hot.

Hubby fetched the two kids with Adam. Ida decided to stay with me and Jade. Was busy setting in order the house especialy Ida's toys. Jade slept in the afternoon so valuable time for Ida and me.

Tried to be smart, mixing the two recipes together, resulting my mango cheesecake to fail. Grrrrrrr.

Dropped by to give one to Joshline.

Jade is feeling much better. Woke up like 2times so i had a good sleep.

EVE

Fresh home made bread in the morning.


Headache finally after few days of not enough sleep. 3new tooth coming out making it 4 top n 2 bottom. Sian anak mama semua at one shot, patut lar meragam.


It was a busy day for me, operation baking cakes for tonite and tomorrow. Went to do a quick groceries, parking was full, i was one of that idiot doing groceries on christmas eve. But surprisingy, all the cashiers went really fast so it didnt take me a long time.

Doing my first experiment, took me a long time to do this Red Velvet Cake as i was doing it for two cakes. But it turns out great! Syukur alhamdulillah.

So had dinner with IL, then exchanged gifts. So surprised that hubby got me a Swarovski bracelet when he pretended he couldnt find anything. You actor!

Then back home, the kids started to open the presents that we bought them. Obviously Ida got too many presents that she doesnt even hv time to open and play with some of it.

Slept at midnite,sebok tolong Ida set up her playmobil summer house.

NO RESPECT

Another day of not enough sleep. At 7am, Jade started to be grumpy and just want to hv light. So i keep on playing with my alarm clock, she would be smiling with that cheeky smile but started to cry when the light went off.

My usual routine during school holiday:
9h00 : cleaning the table, kitchen and prepare breakfast. Feed Jade.
10h00 : bath time for the girls. During this time, kemas bilik (semenjak jade lahir, jadi habit kemas bilik in the morning), clean the bathroom, prepare clothes for the kids to wear etc.

Cuma ari ni, tak sebusy mcm days before. Loosing up my schedule for the kids to work. Sbb hari hari berturut, daku nak prepare kerja diorang lagi, nak monitor lagi, nak check lagi...dgn jade lagi, dgn nak concentrate on them lagi. Mmg rasa time's running so fast and yet, they havent finish their homework. So ari ni releks sikit.

Besides, went out at 12noon to Croix Blanche to find some presents. Ida got some toys sbb gigi tumbang. Yesterday she got a present from her grandparents. This morning she asked me
"why the little mouse didnt pass by to give me a present?"
i replied "no little mouse but mother mouse"
"huh? Mother mouse? Where?"
"the fat one talking to you"

Of course Adam got something too, tak sampai ati tak belikan apa apa. Jade got something too, sian dia dah lar satu present for Noel pun takde. Apataknya dah 2beli semuanya dah main dulu. Besides, mainan kakak ngan abg dia berlambak lambak so we dont see why we should buy toys for her.

Went to few shops, had a buffet lunch and off to Joshline's house, hubby dropped me there.
The reason? am not interested to see M who's coming today and leaving at nite for Mauritius island.
Why? Coz he doesnt have any respect either to his father or me. He doesnt even call to ask any news, let alone to let us know that he's coming. Communication only between him and his grandmother. We wouldnt know if MIL didnt tell us. So you dont respect me, i dont respect you either.

At 5pm, hubby already there to fetch me after sending him to the train station.

Had a good chat with Josh and another new friend that Josh know from the language center. Turkish lady but born in france..non muslim.

Baking time tomorrow for Christmas
1. Red velvet cake
2. Mango cheesecake

Gotta buy the ingredients first thing in the morning.

All first test..wish me luck. Otherwise, so sorry for the people who will b eating it ehehe

TOOTH OUT

~~~~~~~~Memo to kids~~~~~~
Dear kids,

-2 days of not having enough sleep
-Sore throat
-Bitten by Jade
-Lot of housework n office work to settle

It's gonna be a VERY moody day so kids, be nice n don't bother me so much. Thank you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sleepless nite it was for me. Well, should have bring Jade directly to sleep in our bed instead of having to get up at nite. She woke up 3 times and took a long time to sleep. Not that she was crying, she was awake, that's all.

Then at 4am when she was awake, brought her in our bed, slept in the middle. She was awake an hour later on, terkejut gaknya dek bapak dia berdengkur ekekeke. Bf her then she bit me, daku terjerit lar itu jam. She got shocked and cried really badly sampai teresak esak. Masak daku nak memujuknya lepas tu, agaknya hati terluka giteww. Daku yg sakit kena gigit ni tak ingat yer.

Just when I thought it's gonna be a moody day, wasnt at all. I was full of energy to do things that I have planned in my agenda. Kids could do their homework.

Dapur tak berasap, laki takde.

Discovered that Jade tumbuh another gigi but the thing is, bukan the other gigi kapak tapi gigi next to it. Pelik sungguh pelik.

But no wonder lar anak mama bangun byk kali. Sian dia. Indeed a very adorable little baby. Could play alone, looking at bro and sis .. and of course the wonderful mother muahahaha. She can move here and there now. Bahaya bahaya, pintu ke basement kena tutup, kalau idak, mau jadi kes mcm abg dia dulu. Ni pompuan bahaya seh.

As for Ida, finally gigi dia tumbang. Suddenly lain nampak rupanya, alahai anak mama dah besar... tak sanggoppppppp.

Oh yer, since yesterday, dia dah boleh mengeja simple word sesikit, alhamdulillah. If i continue teaching her everyday, soon she will know how to read.

OFF

Not feeling in form today. Semalam speed, ari ni mcm injin buruk. Due to tido tak selesa n tak cukup, thanks to cik adik sayang. She woke up 2times then at 5am, tak letak balik to her bed. Sleeping with her meaning takut terpenyek dia. Bila takut terpenyek maka tido ayam. Bila tido ayam, tido tak cukup, bila tido tak cukup, maka there gone my day.

Rasa nak pitam, nak tido dsb. Betul betul not in form. Such a waste coz ive so many things to do. But still, could do things altho not that much as i wanted.

Betul lar lain negara lain culture dia kan. Kalau negara kita, kita mintak tolong ngan orang, makan masa plak tu then bila time makan, mesti kita isi perut tetamu kita dulu kan. Well...negara diorang culture lain kut. In a way, mcm french people plak. Sian laki ngan anakku kelaparan. Bikin daku berangin gak nih. Mcm ragam kekawan ni kan. Sbb tulah berkawan ni kena ada give and take kan. And accept the defaut of the others. Dan sbb tu jugalah laki ku ni takde kawan muahahah. Konsep dia senang, dia tak pernah mintak tolong orang tapi asyik orang mintak tolong so baik tak payah berkawan. Ada betulnya gak.

Ida was invited to Romane's birthday so off i went with her to buy a present then sent her directly. Jumpa Soen si bdk cemetot yg nakal. Dah bsr sikit kut.

Back home dah x tertahan, angkut jade n took a nap. Sejuk sejuk dan x sedap bdn. Hubby took Ida at 5.30pm. And he was stuck there kena berborak ngan mak bpk si Romane dan bpk si Soen muahaha. Balik, duk complain psl IQ lvl diorang muakaka. Mmg patut lar depa gang (bpk Roman n bpk Soen) sbb lvl sama. Sorg pemaleh kerja, sorg lifeguard goyang kaki.

Homework time for kids. Kena ikut turn sbb sorg kena main ngan jade. Jade went to bed pretty late, around 8.15pm, sbb kakak x abes buat homework.Cik bot ni abes mkn her dinner which is bowl of vegies cereal.suka tgk her appetite is back. Harapnya memontel balik yer nak. She can play a long time alone dlm kerusi bulat dia, looking at bro n sis bikin havoc.

As for ida..sygnya ngan dia. Betul betul lil princess. Tak sah kalau x nampak mak dia.

WHAT A DAY

Jade slept at 8pm and woke up at 5am and continued sleeping in our bed. At 8am bangun duk main sorang sorang. Main sorang sorang ok lagi..ni duk tepuk tepuk tgn mak dia mcm nak ckp "bangun lar, bangun lar"

Adorable little baby she is...she could hv her breakfast before anyone so later on she left me some peaceful time to prepare breakfast, had my breakfast peacefully all of us, cleaned the kitchen, set in order the house, make Adam do his homework. Feeling energetic this morning. Siap sental lantal lagi fuhhh.

My angel Jade, syukur alhamdulillah..thank you to be such a nice baby.

Hubby left to Mgp and came to take us at around 1pm, off to Ikea. Had lunch there, did bit of shopping then off to the DIY shop next to Ikea. Hubby bought me stuff for my jewelry project, yayyy.

Then decided to do groceries so off to a shopping centre not far away. Beli barang sikit jadi banyak, there goes spending too much again.

Later on decided to have teatime at new cafe bar which looking so fancy and modern. Turns out that picture perfect didnt seem as perfect as it seems.
Slow service tahap gaban.
Pekerja unprofessional. Punyalah tunggu lama nak order. Tukang serve sorang. Ada mak itam plak potong cheese saja jer potong ala ala kura kura.

Then sorang senior worker say in his 40s i guess served me. Gigi itam itam and byk tumbang satu, then lepas prepare coffee a customer before me, putting on the chantilly cream, boleh dia bersihkan the rest kat botol tu dgn care sedut with his mouth and put it back in the refrigerator! Daku time tu dah shock abis dah. Hubby saw it too but just geleng kepala. Jenis malas nak bukak mulut. Daku dah meluap luap nih.

So went to see another old man seems to be the boss, "will there be some cream on what i have ordered?
He replied "yes"
"can you pls at least clean it coz i saw that man cleaning it with his mouth and put it back without washing it".

He went talking to the guy and came back to me "oh that bottle has finished, we have second bottle"
Not convincing enough for me, terus loya tekak. That man plak served my ice blended drink mcm agak agak angin dgn gue. Geli aku takdenya nak minum kat situ lagi yukssssss!

Then off to the car, only to find out that our car kena langgar with another car! Time tu dah menyumpah nyumpah dah nih. Dah suspected ni either orang tua nyanyuk or mamat mabuk yg tak reti parking, terus langgar keta orang, tinggalkan anjing dia dm keta and off shopping.

Allah saved us, syukur alhamdulillah Ya Allah...kebetulan ada keta polis passed by so reported to them, three of them went to the shopping complex to make announcement. The other once checked the detail of the owner from hsi plate number, turns out to be a Vietnamese. One hour later on, still tak datang. The police suspected that owner tu kecut telur/apam and decided to hide.

So the police helped us to take off the car, keta tu mmg tindih abis kat our car. Discovered that owner dia lupa handbreak so keta dia berjalan sampai ke keta orang. So the damage was not that bad, calar jer..takde kemek. Anyhow, 300euros of summon for that car and the police gave us the details of the owner, hubby's turn to make a police report tomorrow and to contact the insurance for reparation.

Told the kids "kita dpt bala tapi Allah tolong kita in another way, sbb tu tak boleh lupa Allah"

There goes Ida singing on and on "Dieu, je t'aime, mon Dieu je t'aime, je t'aime"(God i love you, my God i love you, i love you"

The police had to push the car otherwise abis keta lain dilanggarnya.

Back home, time to mengemas barang yg dibeli, machine plak dah abis using, kena clearkan pinggan etc from it, bersihkan itu ini, prepare dinner. In the end, rasa nak pitam. 9pm baru leh relax.

Good thing is, Jade was asleep since we were on the way back. So i wasnt that stress to settle everything. Could even run the bread machine. So will have fresh bread when we woke up the next day for breakfast.

Adam helped a lot on today. While hubby was talking to the policemen, he was the one clearing off the trolly. Back home, he helped hubby to clear it off from the car. What an adorable boy. Altho suka menyakat adik dia kan.

As for Ida...sayangnya dgn Ida ni. Mmg close ngan mak dia. Apa apa hal cari mak dia. Tak boleh mak takde depan mata, mesti cari. Sayang sgt ngan Ida ni. Suka temankan mak dia. Lgilah sayang. Jarang kena pukul kan so baru jentik sikit dia punya hati terluka perghh. Maka kenalah pujuk, selagi tak pujuk, selagi tulah hati terluka hokay!

Now that's what I call what a day!

IDA, MY ADORABLE LITTLE GIRL

Today's entry is mainly about Ida.

Oh Ida..how special you are. The first girl in Moulin's family.

She touched my heart in so many ways. She makes me feel appreciated. She is always there to see me even for 5min to know what im doing. If im bf ing Jade in the room, not long after she will come and lay down next to me. Like tonite, she came upstairs while I was bf ing Jade, squeezed in, put her arms around me and three of us fell asleep.

Middle child and she needs my attention. We spent our afternoon sitting together making jeweleries. She got a necklace and a bracelet. Ive ordered lot of stuff from the internet for jewellery making, hopefully will receive it in few weeks time.

Adam went for his class ugama. Thought he will receive his result but no. Hubby sent him and i took him back. Susahnya nak parking, berapa byk kereta, parking reserved for the masjid pun penuh sepenuhnya. Rasanya sbb ada klass ugama for adults oar. Berapa kali round sampai terlambat.

Adam ni agak adorable lar ari ni, agaknya lepas I told him how cute and sweet he was when he was a little boy. So today, few times jugak dtg jumpa mak dia and ciup pipi mak dia. No klass ugama till January bukak sekolah. Punyalah suka dia. Tp holiday kena buat homework yer sayang...termasuklah Ida dan Jade juga.

As for Jade, gembiranya tgk dia back in form. Main sendiri lelama dlm keta roda dia. Dah boleh gerak sana gerak sini dah. Selera mkn pun dah ada. Skarang ni when we r at the table to eat, bawak dia sekali, letak dia kat high chair dia. Tak adil dan tak sampai hati biarkan dia main sorang sorang bila kitorang sebok isi perut.

Harapnya badan embam balik yer nak. Baby, badan embam lar sedap, kalau tak embam, tak guna ler jadi baby kan ihih hih hih.

HAPPY HOLIDAY

Otherwise, my little Jade is back in form since yesterday, alhamdulillah. Found back her smile and her good humor. She started to eat too. I did mashed carrot with chicken and my BM. It came to my mind today to change the puting of the bottle. Coz i remember when we were in Malaysia, she refused her bottle too but not till i changed the puting to the brownish one.

And so today she drank her bottle altho it took sometime to finish it. There gone beli botol Avent memahal, takleh nak pakai sebab takde puting size besar utk botol Avent. Maka kena cari botol kecik lar lepas ni.

Ida oh Ida. Mmg lar berkepit jer kerja ngan mak dia.

In a way dia mmg sayang mak dia. I just call her once and she will come. The thing is, dia ni kuat shopping. Kalau keluar mesti nak beli something. Pastu merengek. Very annoyng dgr dia merengek.

 

Kesian bang Adam jugak terpinggir ... dia selalu dgn papa dia jer in the office. More to guys talk gitew. Cari mak dia bila nak tido sahaja ok. Itu jam barulah perangai manja ala ala baby dia keluar.

The plan was to go to Marne La Vallee as they have big shopping complex there. But the thing is, too far, close to Disneyland, like min. 45minutes to go. We were all ready early but on the way, decided not to go that far. We had breakfast at McDonald, eaten it in the car then off to Creteil shopping complex. Bought things for IL.

Had lunch there then off to the boat,time to really take of the boat from the water. Hujan lebat for the past few weeks, air sungai naik. Bahaya bila angin kuat mcm yg selalu lately.

NOT COMPLETELY

Taraaa ... my unbaked cheesecake. Agak lembut lar sbb tak letak gelatin.

Manusia ni memcm ragam kan. Betapa ramainya manusia yg ingat diiorang ni pandai, tahu lebih dari orang lain, bercakap bagai nak rak tapi semua yg dia cakap, kita dah tahu. So ikutkan jelah. Bila diikutkan, dia ingat kita ni betul tak tahu dan mulalah ingat dia lagi superior. Penat sgt melayan orang mcm ni.

Ada jugak orang yg suka nak bitau what you should do. Pls respect the peope live their life, shall we?

Anyway, hubby left early in the morning so ive sent the kids to school. Cake for Ida's teatime at school. Gave bag of goodies to her teacher, Anne and Fadila for Noel. Also for Madame Tichit.

Jade is feeling a bit better altho no completely. Suffer betul dia bila gigi kapak nak keluar. She slept at her usual hour for the past few days, 12noon till 2pm. Then off with her to a supermarket not far away. Skang ni nak drive bawak dia jejauh mmg malas sgt. Melalak tak hengat kat belakang walaupun dah breastfeed sebelum tu.

Ni kes tak nampak mak dia lar ni. Susah tul kat sini tak boleh nak letak baby kat passager's seat.

 Operation baking lagi utk kek bawak ke sekolah for both kids.

BAKING

Jade bangun about 2 times I guess .. merengek jer during the nite hmmm. Kapak oh kapak, cepat lah keluar kapak oii. Dah keluar actually, leh rasa gerigi dia.

Fuh punyalah semangat bersiap pagi ni nak gi swimming pool ngan bebudak. Breakfast siap, kemas pun siap, bag swimming pun siap. Sekali bila sampai kat tempat tu, tetengok tutup sampai 25Dec. Lahabau tul. Daku dah bersemangat nih!!

So dari nak berexercise ngan bebebudak, replaced gi hantam kebab for lunch. Elok bebeno lar tu kan ekekek.

After lunch, out for presents hunting. Bought something for IL and Jacqueline but still not enough. Hubby keep on asking me again and again of what I want for Noel. Again and again I will tell him "dont want anything, just want you to be nice with me and appreciate me as your wife". Besides, Eid Mubarak ari tu baru dapat ipad2. Perghhh mithali sungguh dirikeww. Iphone 4s plak takde lar teruja sgt. Iphone 4 ni pun takde masalah pun.

Back home, zass zuss zasss... solat, pastu operation baking cake. Cake dah bake pagi tadi, tinggal nak deco jer. Siap jugak. Topping dia kureng lar. Trying new thing tapi not the one I wanted. Cuba lagi. Tapi takper, still pass utk bawak kesekolah heheheh.

Then operation buat cheesecake plak. Baru sekarang diorang jual Philadelphia cheese. Mcm lar takde french cheese kan, dah lar france mmg famous with cheese. Ngok ngek tul. Eh aku lar tu. Unbaked one .. harap sgt menjadi sbb again, tak ikut arahan hu huuuuuuuuuuu. Kalau lembik, mmg daku tau lar kenapa hu huuuu.

SINGLE

Hubby left around 5.30am, plan today, off to south of france.


What a day n strong wind during the nite, could even hear the sound of the wind, whistling and blowing. After I have sent the kids, Josh dropped by to take Jade. Couldnt leave immediately coz outside was still windy and raining. She left at 10.30am and so off i go for presents hunting and grocerries. Lari bajet bulan ni. Thank God there's Josh coz definitely i cant do this qith Jade. Stock up for the food to eat too.

Bizarre jugak keluar soRang sorang. Lama dah tak keluar sorang mcm ni. Alar bukan jauh pun. If kat malaysia mesti dah mengeteh ngan kekawan ihih hih hih.

Had my quiet late lunch at Kfc. Pesal lar semua rasa tak sedap ek. Back home, kemas barang lagi, nak gosok baju that i have planned pun tak sempat.

Took the kids including Fred and Aidan. They had teatime. Ida played with Aidan, Adam played with Fred. Aidan was so adorable today. Josh came with Jade and her husband one hour later on, had tea time then off to Lei Ming's school.

Jade was alrite, looking at the kids playing so i could prepare dinner very peacefully. Josh came 11/2 later and we had dinner together.

Hubby came back around 11am. Thought he will sleep in a hotel.

MUCH BETTER

Jade oh Jade. Merengek rengek jer during the nite. Harapnya cepat sembuh yer nak, amin.

Today, hubby bought medicines for teething. So she seems to feel much better altho not completely. But at least she can play alone while I was doing something. She slept like 3hours after her bath. Phewwwwww can do sooooo many things when she's sleeping. Mcm flashwoman gitew, zuss zass zusss.

Kerja rumah siap, kerja office dpt buat (not siap), masak pun siap. Could even have quiet lunch with hubby. House is clean and smells good. Feeling great!

Hubby took the kids from school, could spent quiet time with them in the living room. Ida could do some homework today.

Adam ni ... selalu ngadu seluar jeans kecik. Yelah nak oiii beli kat Zara, tak perasan plak mcm ala ala skinny. Bapaknya kata mcm telur tersepit gitu. Adam plak kata rimas kat buku lali ketat. Hmmmm dah berapa helai dah ni dia taknak pakai. Lain kali maknya kena tengok betul betul masa beli.

Latest trend ka hapa ka, seluar kepit telur ka mmg anakku tak berkenan. Mmg seriously burok giler, cemana lar leh jadi trend ek.
