Another Baby = Unattended Lil Sarah

When Abang is playing with another baby,

When Ayah is holding another baby, This is how she looks like after her attention seeking with her Abang & Ayah failed due to the presence of another baby....

Alah buchukkkk... meh sini ngan Mama meh. Cayanngggg dia!

Da Doink Code?

Manis. Jika sedang bercinta, semuanya indah. Bau bangkai dikatakan wangi, warna hitam dikatakan putih, kenangan bersama terlalu manis. Mandi tak basah, makan tak kenyang, tidur tak lena.

Pahit. Bak pepatah habis manis sepah dibuang. Benda yang kecil diperbesarkan. Benda yang tak ada diadakan. Kenangan silam merupakan yang kononnya paling pahit dan tidak mungkin akan dikenangkan lagi.

Mulut. Mulut tempayan boleh ditutup, mulut manusia? Kalau boleh ditampal, boleh digam, memang dah lama aku tampal / gam mulut itu. Mulut yang boleh membinasakan orang. Mulut yang dulunya manis, dulunya tempat dicium tanda sayang, kini kalau boleh ingin ditampar kuat kerana biadabnya mulut. Mulut yang dulunya bukan main tersenyum indah, kini kalau boleh ingin saja aku toreh-toreh dengan cili padi.

Kadang-kadang aku tak faham kenapa segelintir kita sanggup melukakan hati dan perasaan orang lain dengan kata-kata yang tak seharusnya diucap. Marah punca segalanya, marah juga boleh membuka pekung di dada. Tapi untuk menunjukkan rasa marah atau benci walaupun seseorang yang dipersalahkan itu telah meminta maaf ataupun pada awalnya tidak bersalah, wajarkah untuk kita terus membenci dan melemparkan kata-kata yang boleh melukakan hati orang itu? Oh.. kolot rupanya. Fikirlah di mana silap kita. Cermin dulu diri sendiri sebelum mencari kesalahan orang lain. Letakkan diri kita di tempat seseorang itu dan fikirkan jika kita yang dihina sebegitu rupa, sanggup tak kita terima?

Mak pernah berpesan. Biarlah... biarlah orang buat kita, jangan kita buat orang. Sabarlah... sabarlah dengan perangai setiap manusia kerana dengan sabar itu separuh daripada iman.

Terima kasih mak kerana meninggalkan pesan. Tooot.

Tapi hati aku tetap sakit, perit bak ditusuk sembilu, macam lagu Ella tu.

Jadi. Maknanya.

Pantat ahhhh..

Itulah maknanya. Itulah code wordnya. Itulah lukisannya.

Fikir dalam-dalam, tengok betul-betul, kaji elok-elok sebelum membuat sebarang keputusan.

PASSIONATE

My passion for this man I named Mr Hilahs

He has been the man that I adore since my teenage years

The very much thing I adore in him is his long eyelashes

Just like Snuffle-a-fagos, the big elephant in Sesame Street

I love every single time when I had the chance to disturbed him back then

He is so gullible and used to trip over his tongue

When interrupted, he'll start his sentence all over again

Those were the days

My little baby somehow attributes this man's character

They share the same fear

KACUAK, ROACHES, COCKROOOCH, LIPAS

Whatever or however you call them

Probably those sickening pest made him trip over his tongue long time ago

Anyway, back to my rambling about Mr Hilahs

He is one talented man with multi-talents of mood swings as well

Those mood swings sometimes is more worst than a woman's PMS

But he is adorable, he is the next man of the house and he is mine

I love him so much that I am willing to trade my life if needs to be

And for those who mess or looked down on my Mr Hilahs

Read my lips

SCREW YOU!

HOLI HOLIDAY

I can't wait for National Day tomorrow. Not because I'm a patriotic Singaporean but because I'm a pathetic Singaporean who looks forward to every Singapore's public holiday for either a getaway or just resting and having fabulous fun time with family at home. With the new working timetable of 8.30am to 6.30pm every Monday to Thursday and 9am to 6pm every Friday to suit the 5 days work week, I am a tired woman by 10pm, with the dinner & housework to be done after 7.30pm. I am like a working robot during weekdays and only get to enjoy being myself on weekends. Sigh.

To all Singaporeans, a very happy National Day & happy happy holiday, although its only for 1 day. Another 2 working days after that, and I shall look forward to the weekend for another household chores and more beauty sleep. Heh.

AAAHHH???

That is Sarah's every reply whenever she is asked of something, be it a question or asking her to help with something. Dah macam makcik pekak pulak. Talking about pekak, I'm a bit worried for she has gone sticking up a cotton bud real hard into her right ear sometimes back. She konon wanting to korek her telinga after seeing her parents do that often every shower. Usually, we will watch her but that time when she poke real hard, I was having shower while the father don't know do what. I came rushing out from the shower when I heard her loud wail. Luckily no blood oozing out or anything. Anyway, her reply of Aaahh? is even before this mini accident.

Her STANDARD reply to these questions :-

1) Dah makan belum? DAH

2) Dah mandi belum? DAH

Worst if she didn't hear you correctly or don't understand what you're asking her. She will go Aaaahhhh? Then you repeat again the same question... and she goes Aaaahhhh? again. Teringat Allahyarham Ishak Ahmad. Apa dia kak? Hopefully my daughter stops that habit or people think she is one pekak girl, telinga takde korek. Kherkher.

There was once this situation whereby I spilled my drink on the floor. Wanting to test my little baby if she understood what I'm asking of her, I asked her this...

" Baby, take the tissue in Mama's room please. " As usual... she goes Aaaaahh?? and I have to repeat. Then she runs into my bedroom, upon reaching the door, she went Aaaaahh?? again. And so I said, " Tissue pat atas dressing table. Please take one. " And zoom, she went in.... I waited for almost 5 minutes and she still haven't come out. So I went inside and saw her reaction. She is infront of the dressing table and staring at the tissue box which the forgetful me puts higher up at the top part of the dressing table. So she understood.

Another funny incident was when I was cooking in the kitchen. Sarah was playing in my room. Her eldest brother came back from provision shop downstairs with a can of peach tea. He had his lunch in the living room and when almost done, went back into the kitchen to wash his hand, leaving the can drink behind in the living room. Afterwards I heard his scream. I went into the living room and the little sister was smiling and licking her lips. I asked what happened and the eldest said he found Sarah drinking it discreetly in his bedroom (remember, he left the can in the living room?). So, tu baby bijak bistana dah gi larikan air abang dia and sembunyi2 minum dalam bilik. I can't scold her can I... in fact I was shaking my head and so did her eldest brother. She is really one joker in the house. Now, when she sees the lump & the wound on my left leg, she will even goes.. " Ma... Mama... Hahahahahahaha" laugh at it. Agaknya dia nampak my lump joget2... Sigh.

FINALLY, A POST...

My weekend was filled with thrills. Last Saturday, I arranged a meet up with my little frat for breakfast at Toa Payoh, in turn for his company to Babytown at Lorong 5. Sarah was only interested in those toddler push cars which I can't carry alone since Hubby was not with us. She spotted a Minnie Mouse nursery player and has been playing with it non-stop, day, afternoon, night, unable to separate them both.

There was a furniture sale at the same building and we (mum was there too) decided to take a look since I'm still scouting for a new dining set. The kids bedroom sets were so affordable that I wish I can buy one for Sarah but I got no spare room for her just yet. Later ok babe. Somehow, we saw this gigantic sofa which is so damn huge as display. I might have space for my spacious living room if only it were on sale as well. Heh.

Came Saturday night, I went over to East Coast for a birthday invitation of one of my galpal's children Atu & Aniq. Sarah had fun as there were so many toddlers & kids around. The party was great, I had fun myself. Spaghetti & Satay was delicious and if only I am one tak tahu malu woman, I would have help a 2nd and 3rd and 4th round. Too engrossed with the food that I later realise, upon downloading the images, that I only took 1 picture at the bbq. Sigh. Below is a picture of Sarah asking for the crackers that is hanging on the lamppost. Oh, there is not 1 but 4 different types of crackers - just like those at provision shop, hanging side by side. Heeeee. My galpal really went through all these to make the kids happy. Too bad as well I didn't stay long.

Lastly, on a separate note, I wanted to say this to my beloved sister. If you are reading, let me tell you about the man that you missed so much, the man whom you wish can show his affectionate side, the man whom you think hates you so much, the man whom you call your Papa. Never ever judge a book by its cover. If you only have sometime to sit down and think back what you said, you'll regret it sooner or later. Remember, he was the one who take care of us all when Mum have to work night shift. He was the one who'd make sure that our long hair is covered with minyak kelapa to make sure we don't jangkit any kutu (coz it's zaman kutu, telur kutu), comb & tie our hair, held us close to him when we have to leave for school. He was also the one who took care of our wedding. And the best part of all, he's still strong and healthy and you have a loads of time to cherish the moments with him. Ever thought of that?
