my little men

Dani

He is now soooooo into reading and spelling. Sekarang, he insists on chatting (as in typing what he wants to say) instead of talking to me on skype. Mula-mula, he started off with typing some random words like polis, up, down, insert (yes...ni dia tiru apa yang dia tengok dari keyboard computer..hehe). Then, as the week progresses, he started typing out questions (which he has prepared earlier with the help from Along, but dia tulis sendiri and Along tolong check je) like Aaron dah minum susu ke? Mama apa khabar?. And now, after about two weeks, he tries to type out his answers to the questions I throw at him like dah makan ke belum? Makan apa hari ni? I really think that this is a good spelling exercise *matila mama dia kiasu..hehe*

Other than that, Dr Sunshine bought his school bag already. :) Mula-mula he wanted the beg yang roda-roda but we (read: Dr Sunshine and me) thought that it wasn't cool (yes, mak bapak dia yang over! wakakaka) and Dr Sunshine brought him shopping the other day and he chose a non-roda bag. *phew!

Andi

Ha...apparently, this boy is getting cheekier by the day, according to my mom and Along. Katanya, he always cries to get things done his way but thank god my sis nor my mom give in to his cries!! Ada this one night ni, dia mengada and insisted nak baring on my mom's lap. And, because he had a good long nap that day, sampai pukul 1am pon dok nak baring atas lap dan tak tidur2 lagi. Nasib Along woke up and gave him a good talking to, barula dia nak tidur. Needless to say, I reported the kejadian to the Papa and he was told to not do that (bully my mom by sleeping on her lap) again.

So today, masa skype, he went on and on to tell me that he has been a very good boy today.

Andi: Mama...saya good boy tau hari ni. Good boy...
Me: Iye? Andi buat apa yang Andi good boy?
Andi: Hari ni saya tidur kat bawah.Tak tidur atas mak pon.Saya good boy
Me: Ooohh....bagus la Andi. Andi memang good boy. Anak mama memang good boy kan. Very good Andi.
Andi: *muka happy*

Tetapi, Andi is also quite lasak. Tadi dia cerita:

Andi: Mama, hari ni saya jatuh la mama.
Me: Macam mana boleh jatuh?
Andi: Sebab saya panjat grill, pastu jatuh.
Me: Errkk....(dalam hati dok kata..tadi baru je mama cakap good boy)

And, Andi bahasakan diri dia as Saya. But Dr Sunshine is trying to make him bahasakan diri as Andi. I personally think there is nothing wrong with him referring to himself as saya. hehe. its kinda cute actually. :)

Aaron
Oh, anak saya ini sekarang dah boleh membuat tour satu bilik. Masa dia belum expert mengesot, he is easily bored and slalu nak attention from me. Contohnya, he wakes up pretty early, like at 5.30am. Kadang-kadang 4.30am pon pernah. Kalau dulu, lepas dia bangun dan golek-golek kejap and main dengan his toys, sure I dengar dia o-ek. But now, he can go for a long time without crying. I can continue with my sleep (tapi kena make sure la dekat carpet tak de small items which he can put into his mouth and that the place is clean). He will usually start to bunyi-bunyi if he has done no 2 or dah ngantuk. :)

And, sekarang, he can sometimes fall asleep without susu. :) Lepas tu, you know at times babies wake up in the middle of the night? Well dulu automatically I bagi him susu. But now, he wakes up, and sometimes can fall asleep balik by himself. :) Macam tadi, I baru bagi dia susu, n he fell asleep. So I pon start la menaip kan. After a while, i heard him talking. Yes, he woke up and was moving around. I buat tak kisah. Pastu I dengar senyap je. So I turned around and saw him asleep. hehe. Alhamdulillah.

Oh, he has also started eating. I bagi dia nestum thingy. I dah try 2 flavour: pear&muesli and strawberry. He loves the srrawberry and tak suka Muesli. I rasa kan, maybe sebab yg straberry tu is also infused with milk whereas the pear-muesli tu tak. So esok, I ingat nak beli biscuit flavour pulak which was Andi's favourite dulu-dulu. :) Once, I made bubur with salmon but he does not like it!! hmm...maybe sebab salmon tu tak berapa fresh kot. Tapi I dah pesan ikan bilis from my mom. So nanti i can buat bubur ikan bilis.

p.s: after shielding my first two boys from coffee since they were babies, dr sunshine terbagi depa minum toffee nut latte. hmm...they loved it to bits. Aaron pulak dah rasa sikit-sikit kot from the milk. wakakakakak...

sweet ke sedih?

i think Andi misses me.

Tahu tak kenapa I cakap macam tu?

Cos while skyping tadi, he was kissing the computer screen endlessly. Sebab dia ingat dia cium mama dia and adik dia.

*cries*

bab 6

i am going through the malas phase right not and it definitely does not help when i only have till nov 5th to finish my chapter 6. tsk. so last night, kuatkan la juga semangat untuk membuat sesuatu padahal sebab dah out of tv series to watch. I still have a long way to go and I keep on thinking on how to best present my analysis. Inilah penangan phd ek? tengah mandi fikir, tengah masak fikir, before tido fikir. haha...

what else? semalam konsert dani. thank god one of bestfriend's anak goes to the same school. So like last year, they ol took a video of dani. hehe. :) Pastu, nak cerita. Andi also went to the concert. Dr Sunshine tanya Andi: Nanti Andi concert Andi nak nyanyi lagu apa?

Andi: Bila ecok (the Nora Elena theme song yang bila esok tu)

Dr Sunshine: Pastu lagu apa lagi?

Andi: Cing cing (that money money money song tu)

LOL.

Daylight savings has started to I technicallyhad an extra hour to sleep in today. Tapi anakanda I decided that I cant. hmph.

Orait, back to chapter 6. Going to D's house in a while to bake cookies and cuppies. Yumm!!!

kembali bersiaran

i was on a loonnnggggg hiatus kan. But I am back.

I hate goodbyes!

Last night, Dr Sunshine left the boys with my mom. When he said goodbye, Andi tanya, "Kita tunggu mama kat sini ye papa?"

And today, when they got home with Papa, Andi was looking for me. He thought I was waiting at home for them, like I sometimes do. Then dia tanya Papa, mama mana. Papa cakap kat Vienna. Then he said, tak balik-balik lagi? Lama betul mama kerja. tsk.

I miss my boys!!!!!

ampers

ampers is pampers in bahasa AA. hehe.

Anyway, yesterday AA was quite naughty because he took off his diaper and peed on my mom's carpet! haih. Ni yang buat ai tak sabar nak toilet train him ni.

So today, the papa yang baru balik dari oc, jumpa AA and asked AA about it. AA senyap aje. And then the papa tanya, "boleh ke tak boleh PU kat carpet?" And he continued by saying: "budak yang tak good boy je buat macam tu, and AA good boy kan? If nak bukak pampers, kena pergi PU kat toilet." Masa papa tengah bagi syarahan tu, AA dah sebak-sebak dah. And then, bermulalah sesi menangis kesedihan sebab kena lecture dengan Papa. So, Papa had to stop bagi lecture. hih hih.

Then, my mom told Dr Sunshine (a.k.a the Papa) that AA likes to climb the grill sampai tinggi-tinggi. So, the papa asked, "AA panjat grill ke?" AA cakap: "tak de tak de." Papa asked pulak, "habistu siapa yang panjat?" AA jawab "yaya" (cousin dia). But of course we know better la kan. Maka, bermulalah lagi satu siri syarahan dari the Papa about how dangerous it is to climb the grill and also if AA good boy, AA tak buat benda-benda macam tu. And, nangis lagi sekalilah anak mama sebab kena lecture.

I don't know about you, but all parents ada their own way to discipline their child. I know of some yang suka herdik anak-anak. Ada yang pukul, cubit and tampar. Ada yang bagi time out. I personally tak agree dengan taktik mengherdik (like panggil budak tu bodoh or lembab or something to that effect) or memukul, tapi to hak ibu bapa masing-masing la kan.

For Dr Sunshine and I, we like to tell them what they did wrong but of course dengan stern and strict punya voice. hehe. Tapi tak de la sampai nak menjerit-jerit. And I sometimes akan bagi time out kat the boys. When AA was a crawling baby, bila dia tak behave I like to bedung dia macam baby kecik and count to 10 sebab nak suruh time out susah kan. Kadang-kadang dia struggle, tapi kadang-kadang dia suka pulak. hehe.

For AD pulak, i always tanya dia bila dia nak start buat perangai:"AD behave ke tak behave?" and masa dia kecik-kecik dia akan jawab "be-hef". That line still work on him. hehe. Tapi katalah if all else fails, I resort to, if tak behave mama bagitahu papa. That works like a charm!!

Its amazing how the boys respect Dr Sunshine tremendously. Padahal Dr Sunshine tak pernah nak marah-marah dorang and manjakan dorang sangat-sangat. For the boys, anything the Papa says, goes. Papa panggil makan ubat, masing-masing nganga jer mulut. But if orang lain, kena wrestling dulu, barulah nak makan ubat.

I cannot wait to tengok my boys perangai for myself. I just hope that I would not turn out to be a screaming mama sebab dah lama kan tak layan karenahan dorang ni. hiks.

babysitting

Tadi, ai babysat my boys while the papa tidur kepenatan. Maka, sempatlah ai buat spelling with AD dan juga main jual beli/ gerai makan dengan AA and buat counting juga. :)

I tell you, its amazing what we can do with technology.

Lepas tu,I asked the boys to kejut the Papa but Papa sangat penat dan tak bangun. Mujur not long after that my lappie's azan bunyi...dan teruslah Papa bangun.hikhikhik.

Hmm..ai rasa, next time ai am on babysitting duty, ai nak start tunjuk the boys flashcards lah. hehe. Bukan apa, ai saje je nak ajar dorang lite-lite. So far, AA bolehlah kira sikit-sikit, tapi ai must say, AD was far more advanced when he was AA's age. Cuma, AA ni very extrovert and tak pemalu, maka harus saya tekankan di sini, every child is special in his own way. :)

Semalam, we ol tanya AA, mana adik? Dia kata tak ada. Then we said, adik ada dalam perut.And dia pon angkat baju dia and tunjuk perut dia...seolah fenfeeling adik is in his perut. Then we said, adik is in my perut. hehe.

And, AD keep on saying i am fat! *nanges*. Tapi I know, fat yang dia maksudkan adalah sebab perut ai besar dan ada adik kat dalam (because he said so). Maka, tak jadi nak emo. wakaka

26 more days.

melt

semalam, ai baca blog sape tah and dia ada letak lagu bruno mars just the way you are. i tell you, kadang-kadang i wonder ada ke lelaki yang adore perempuan sampai begitu sekali???

well, i actually emailed Dr Sunshine lepas baca blog tu dengan meng-attachkan lagu tersebut and asked him that question. haha.

Dan hari ni, semasa nak cakap babai kat skype, dia nyanyi kat ai lagu tu.

*cair*

p/s: dan AA bangun semasa papa dia buat konsert sambil gelak ketawa yang lemak manis. cannot wait to be with my babies.

tak nak balik

hari ni, Dr Sunshine bawak the boys pergi playground at about 5-ish. Dah dekat pukul 6 lebih tu, dia pon ajakla budak-budak ni balik. AD, as usual, memang 'juruh' dan pi towards the papa. AA pulak masih tidak puas bermain. heheh.

So, AD duduk with the papa at a bench while AA continued playing. But AA jadi marah because dia main sorang-sorang. Dok sibuk laaa ajak main sekali. Then, tiba-tiba dia terhantuk sedikit. No harm at all, tapi sebab tengah marah dan geram, maka jadilah episod menangis. Namun begitu, sambil menangis tu, tetap gigih naik slide.

Thats AA for you. :)

And today, masa skype dengan dia, he repeatedly said "Mama Antik". Oh...terus mama dia kembang kuncup. hehe.

And, he knows bila papa dah buat 'yuyu' and switch off the lights, its time to sleep and he will never fail to say "night mama". :)

And when he pretends to talk on a walkie talkie, dia suka cakap numbers, followed by ok bye. wakakak. "dua ga ga ok bye"

And now he always says "sayang mama". *melts*

Haih...rindu betul dengan my boys. Only about 6 more weeks!!!

macam sibuk

Hari ni, rasa rindu sangat dgn the boys, especially AA and AD. It has been weeks since I last skyped with them (1 whole misarable week of not hearing AA cakap hai mama, hai babe ... ini kes ajuk papa dia cakap, not listening to AD cerita about school and what he did). Dr Sunshine has been busy with kenduri kawen kawan dia, pastu OC (on days that I dont have classes) and me with my erratic class schedule! The time difference does not help at all because by the time I am home, my babies would be asleep, so I can only look at them sleeping through web cam. tsk.

Sigh.

Rindunyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

I wish that I am now on the same bed as they are walaupun harus berhimpit-himpit kat atas katil queen ittew.

I still have yet to purchase my ticket. Esok Dr Sunshine OC lagi. I know. again! Perluke EOD??? Dahlah tu, ai memang tak de kelas pulak tu esok. tsk. Friday, dia locum and I have class till 8pm. Saturday ajela peluang ai untuk berborak dengan the boys.

sob sob.

Only about 9.5 more weeks. Haih....cepatlah masa beredar. I wanna go home. Err..tapi kerja tak siap lagi. *nanges*

Hmm...I guess inilah derita merindu, kan??

p/s: suka tengok when Dr Sunshine's face lit up when he thought I was going to balik awal. But then, dia juga menyarankan supaya ai menyiapkan segala mala kerja. :(

nama baby

untuk uols yang dah ada anak, who was the one who gave your baby his/her name? adakah u ols sendiri, your spouse, your parents or your siblings or lelain?

For me, it has always always been Dr Sunshine. I only came up with Ahmad, and tu pon because Dr Sunshine nak nama anak-anak dia begin with A.

Nama Dani came about when we were lepaking on the bed, and were talking about our baby's name and he was looking at the baby book and came out with the name: Ahmad Dani. At first I was like, are you sure? Nanti dorang kata kita tiru nama that indonesian band punye lead singer plaks. Tapi Dr Sunshine kata, alaa...bukan kita tiru pon. Err..ok. Tapi masa tu, nama Dani tak ramai lagi guna, and a lot of people called my son Daniel or Danish, despite his name being spelt with onlt 4 letters! haih.

Andi pulak, came about when I wasn't even preggers. LOL. Tiba-tiba je, Dr Sunshine came back from work and said that if we were to have a boy, dia nak namakan Andi. OK. And, unlike popular belief, the name Andi did not come about by twisting the spelling and letters D A N I. aiyoo...berapa kali laaa nak kena bagitau orang, because i keep getting this: "nanti no 3 kalu girl boleh bagi nama dian or dina. kalau boy nak bagi apa?". Penat ok i nak explain kat orang!

No3. Well, nama no3 pon dah ada even before i was pregnant. LOL. And, i memang tak de chance langsung lah nak bagi nama ni. Kononnya, since I was previleged to be pregnant and have the baby with me at all times during my pregnancy, the husband should be given the honor to name the baby.

Honestly, I don't mind at all. Because, I absolutely love the names my Sunshine came up with. :)

Only 16weeks left uols!!!

I really wanna go home. InsyaAllah, in 10 weeks. Cannot wait to be with my boys.

p/s: i am so glad that Dr Sunshine adores his sons. Hari ni dia pergi kursus, dan nama-nama yang ditulis pada fail kursus itu adalah nama anak-anak dia. bagus...biar peserta kursus yg lain tahu dia dah berpunya..hehe. Ingatkan ai je doodle nama anak-anak kat buku. heheheh..

p.p/s: Andi was not in a good mood a few days back because rindu the papa. The papa didn't see them for 3days/2nights. On the second day, he was all moody and that night, he woke up at about 3am asking for Papa. haih...memang my boys manja dgn my husband. Tidur celah ketiak every night, so of course la rindu kan.

p.p.p/s: On Monday, Dr Sunshine went to pick the boys up from my moms. Tapi kebetulan ada roda2, one of their most favouritest tv show ever ever kan. Tapi Dr Sunshine was like: jom balik jom balik... Tahu tak apa Andi kata? Sabaaarr....sabar papa. wakakakakkaka....

ok. jap.

i look forward to my skype time with the boys every day. walaupun hakikatnya, AD and AA would be wrestling on the bed, main tembak-tembak, minum susu or doing something else and not talk to me, its nice to watch them. :)

sometimes, i would have a hard time to talk to Dr Sunshine because riuh rendah dengan suara the boys wrestling or something. tapi sekali ni, AA was quiet. so, Dr Sunshine was a bit suspicious because u know la bebudak ni, when they are quiet, they are usually up to something.

Dr Sunshine: Andi, buat apa tu?

Andi: *senyap*

Dr Sunshine: Buat apa tu Andi?

Andi: *senyap*

Tetengok, dia tengah sibuk 'mengemas' dvd. taking it out from the case.

Dr Sunshine: Andi, papa dah cakap kan jangan main dgn dvd.

Andi: Ok papa...jap. Ani....mas (ajak AD kemas)

one time, dr Sunshine wasn't in the room. I could see Andi holding a small plastic which contained a piece of chocolate (yg dah pecah-pecah). he was playing with it for a while, and then baring. and of course, the chocs fell out from the plastic. He immediatly sat up when he realised chocs jatuh.

Me: Andi...chocolate jatuh, kemas cepat. nanti papa tengok papa marah.

Andi: Ok Mama.

Me: tengok

Andi: (Ke)mas mama. ok. jap. (ke)mas. (sambil bubuh the pieces of chocs in the small plastic)

Pastu, ada time tu, Dr Sunshine nak tukar diaper.

Dr Sunshine: Andi, jom tukar pampers.

Andi: (tak) Payah

Dr Sunshine: Kenapa tak payah?

Andi: Sebaaaaabbbbbbbb, nanak (tak nak).

And, i think he is really following his abang. AD suka polis, dia pon suka polis. On Monday, Dr Sunshine rushed home after work, only to arrive at 8 plus. dah sampai tu, ajak la bebudak balik. Dani tak nak balik, sebab ada roda2kl. Andi? dia pon nanak, sebab nak tgk jugak! pastu, dr Sunshine kata, masa tgk tu kan, tiba2 dia angkat sikit baju kat bahagian bahu tu, and cakap "pat wa wa hello poyis (empat dua dua hello polis)" seolah-olah tgh cakap on walkie talkie!!!

and today, Dr Sunshine bawak the boys to the playground. Dani was contented with the swings, slides, see saw. Andi? Dia sibuk pi join budak-budak besar (about 8-10 year olds) main bola sepak. He ran around with them sibuk going after the ball, but of course they did not kick the ball towards him, maybe takut will hurt him or something. Tahu tak dia buat apa? Masa orang tengah nak penalti kick,dia cepat-cepat lari towards the ball, took it and ran away with it. LOL!!!!

Needless to say, Dr Sunshine was soooo excited and is already thinking of buying him soccer boots (when he is older)!! Soccer lah, tennis lah, hmm,..all this athletic genes semua dari Dr Sunshine la nih.

ok jap

mengaji

yesterday,i found out that my anak bujang pergi kelas mengaji. uh....rasa macam dah besar pulak si AD tu. papa already send you to kelas mengaji.

technically, memang dia baca pon iqra' tu kat GA. but saje je Dr Sunshine send him for mengaji of friday nights, sementara nak tunggu Dr Sunshine yg usually locum on fridays tu kan, bolehla AD spend his time wisely (katanya).

So, its twice a week, but Saturdays tu, he'll only go if papa is working, i guess.

sigh. i cannot believe that my first born dah besar. he is still a baby to me.

tapi kan, tetapla anak bujang no 1 tu ala-ala pemalu. hmm..pergi birthday party pon, if nak main games, nak papa teman. sangat beza dgn AA yang terus akan bermain tanpa mengambil kasih siapa ada. hahah..

anak saya

dani: mama, semalam dani pergi subang parade. papa beli buku matematik untuk dani.

mama: oh..ye. very good dani. bolehlah dani practice matematik untuk sekolah. mama ada beli 2 jeans untuk dani.

dani: yeay!!! dani ada 2 jeans kat rumah mak, 2 kat rumah papa and 2 dengan mama. so dani ada 6 jeans.

(mama rasa amazed anak bujang can count)

mama: wow...pandai dani buat matematik (refering to his ability to add the amount of jeans)

dani: mama...mana dani buat matematik. dani just kira berapa jeans dani ada.

mama: *tepuk dahi*

************

semejak dua menjak ni, anak bujang no 1 dah reti tengok jam. so he is very particular if papa ambik lambat.

dani:papa, hari ni pukul berapa papa habis locum? papa balik pukul 1 boleh tak?

papa: papa habis locum pukul 2. lepas tu, papa ambik ok?

at 2.06

kring kring

papa:hello dani

dani:papa, dah 2.06. papa kata habis kerja pukul 2 nak ambik dani. ni dah pukul berapa dah ni?

papa:errr

**************

papa: andi, andi nak pakai apa hari ni?

andi: jeans. jeans ket (poket)

tahu tak kenapa kena pakai jeans poket? because nak letak kunci. i tell you. both my sons mmg ada fascination dengan kunci and jeans! dani now will only wear jeans or track bottom. he insists on wearing only long pants!! i wish he would wear shorts cos i think boys his age looks cute pakai shorts (especially when i bought him so many!!!). now andi pon dah menurun perangai the abang. but at least he is still ok with shorts, as long as ada pocket. how laa???? papa dah pening tengok anakanda. hehe

snack plate

i think AA and AD makes a good pair!

You see, AD absolutely loves KFC's coleslaw. Now, AA pulak loves mash potatoes. So, sekarang, whenever we dine in at KFC, we can just order a snack plate, and they can each have 1 piece of chicken, 1/2 bun and coleslaw (AD) and mash tatoes (AA).

wanted to chat with the boys, but apparently warta berita is on. so AD insisted on watching the news. yes. so very like the atok daddy!

babies

my favouritest eldest boy sibuk nak tgk his favouritest tv program of all time, GGK. Oleh itu, tak boleh nak online dgn mama dia. Even papa and my favouritest no 2 also have to teman him because as AD said: tak de orang pon nak duduk dgn Dani. so it has now become a friday night thing for the boys.

favouritest no 2 pulak sekarang can ask for milk.

AA: ayong, nak yuyu

along: bukan yuyu. SU SU

AA: YU YU

Along: tak..bunyi dia macam ni: SU SU

AA: YU YU

hahahahha...i found it so funny. and the thing is, bila along stressed the susu pronounciation, AA pon stress jugak his version of susu. wkakakak.

oh, and one time, he kejut along at 3ish am because dani vomitted.

AA: ayong. ani (sambil persuade along suruh follow him)

along thought AA yg vomit. ghupenya AA kejut along sebab nak suruh along take a look at AD yang tak sehat.

another favourite would be, ani..pi! (read: dani, tepi), dap (sedap..which applies to anything related to food, ie when he sees me eating, when he is eating), nosh (nose), cat, dog, book, baju, pampers, mandi, beyak, (s)akit, (ja)tuh, (pu)sat. its amazing kan to see their development.

oh..pastu i hv to share a good news. Izard is now a proud mummy to a baby boy, Adam. both are doing fine. 3.04kg, normal without epidural. :)

bila dah 2 orang anak

today, i got a very upsetting news from my sister regarding AD's habit which i really despise. The thing is, it was sort of 'encouraged' by my very own mother and what upsets me most is, she continues to encourage it depite knowing how much i dont like it. siap suruh my sister hush hush lagi. haih.

so, today, i finally had it. i text-ed my mom to stop doing whatever she is doing and called Dr Sunshine to tell him about this matter. So, masa online tadi, Dr Sunshine and I reprimanded AD for his behaviour. Actually, I just told him to be a good boy, and kalau nak jadi good boy kena behave. kalau behave to, maknanya cannot do some things. pastu, Dr Sunshine talked to him in a garang tone. and next thing u know, AD menangis. tapi tak de la menangis meraung tu..jenis. menangis senyap2 sebab sedih. i felt a bit guilty, but what to do.

lepastu, Dr Sunshine cakap, maybe AD upset sbb dia sorang je kena tegur, so we had to tegur AA as well. I tell you, AA's face was so funny. the papa had to held him up near the camera, and then i just told him to behave (pastu papa dia tambah kat belakang: jangan raba perut...tu kan habit dia..wkakakaka...tak salah pon raba pusat sendiri). pastu, si AA juga jadi upset. wakakakak...

so, Dr Sunshine's solution was, bagi susu and ask them to sleep. So, he made a bug fuss about nak buat susu, only to realize, masa dia masak air, dia lupa nak switch on the plug. wakakakaka....Akibatnya, AA menangis kesedihan sebab nak susu sangat sangat. i think he was sleepy. he cried the whole time sementara tunggu air masak. kesian anak mama. hehehe...

gelagat anak saya

Usually, i tengok bebudak yg nak lull themselves to sleep suka

• hisap jari
• hisap pacifier
• korek hidung

tapi, AA pulak lain pesennya.

my AA

Last week, i baru nak terasa bangga dengan anak i. you see, i have been flashing to him (haipp...bukan flash bukak baju okei!... i flash, flash cards) a few cards but have been stressing on a few cards in particular (sebab card lain ntah mana hilang selepas Encik Ahmad Andi gigit/main/sorok).

so, one day, he picked up the card and started to shake his body. the card was SHAKE. oh...masa tu, kembang kuncup rasanya tengok anakanda macam ala-ala faham apa yang tertera di card tersebut.

but...my excitement was shortlived. the next day, he picked up a card, and started to shake. card tu tulis apa tau?

ZEBRA

*nangis*

*********************************

I have also been reading to AA almost every day. Ala...sebenarnye bukan mama dia yg rajin sangat nak bacakan..tapi AA will bring me his books and cakap "Nak, Nak" persistantly sampaiiilaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa kita bacakan for him.

My favourite book is titled Animals. Neway, nak gak cerita yang one day, i asked him to point to elephant, and he pointed to the correct animal. oh..dan juga zebra.

notakaki: baru sekali je buat, so it might just be a lucky coincidence that he pointed to the right animal. tapi sebagai seorang ibu, nak jugak rasa bangga lite lite.

*******************************

AA now loves to wear his kasut di sebelah kaki sahaja. sebelah lagi, no shoes or socks. pastu, dia akan guna kaki tu untuk pijak segala mak nenek toys dia. dan mungkin sebab dia budak lelaki (there i go..stereotyping boys), dia adalah agak lasak. i seriously cannot remember Dani being this 'gege' masa kecik dulu but i guess each anak is different.

And, when he hears the Skype ringing tone, he'll rush to my lappie sambil berkata 'Papa' or 'Bear'. And he now talks to them, albeit in his baby language. yg kitaorg faham is nak.

And when he wants something (like a toy, or biskut) and i buat-buat tak faham, he will use his hands to pusingkan my head to tgk what he is pointing at yang dia Nak sangat tu.

I tell you, his favourite word has got to be 'Nak'.

sigh...i am going to miss you Son.

mungkin nasib saya

I really really wanted to meet my SV today. i emailed his secretary, no reply. called, and only got her answering machine. so i decided to just go to his office.

so dalam sejuk-sejuk (sebab hujan), i went to my school, only to find him, NOT there.

balik2, got a reply from my SV saying he's in Istanbul and will only be able to see me 2nd week of May.

sigh..oleh itu, that leaves me to decide what to do. and i have decided that this week, i will try to operationalize national identity and cultural identity.

pastu, the week after, i want to fine tune the research method i plan to use.

so, by the time jumpa SV in 2nd week of May tu, hopefully i have something substantial to present to him.

doakan saya berjaya, sebab i'm driving with a blindfold here.i really have no direction, tapi i try.

anyhoo, semasa di skool, i came across an interesting notice. Summer School in Istanbul. :) its a 6 day program for postgrad students which focuses on intercultural communication. it will be in September. I plan to apply for a spot because my uni will sponsor about 450euro and i have to fork out about 200 euro to cover the expenses. I really hope it wont be held early Sept tapi dalam hati mak, rasa mcm tak jer sebab its turkey kan..tak kan nak buat masa bulan posa kot? i will only send in my application once they have decided on the date. other than that, i'm thinking of doing an attachment di university yg rank-nyer #3o dalam THES. tapi tu, mak tak sure lagie.

ok..ittew saje laporan.

p/s: sekarang, mak tgh menuntut ilmu memasak from my mother. also, i have to cook rice everyday sebab AA dah takmo makan bubur n etc. yes...dia fenfeeling mcm grown up.
