Belated Aidilfitri & A Blessing

Hi everyone... After this I will be going out to get raya money and I need the basket...lest my pockets aren't big enough... ;-D

Salam everyone... Sorry I haven't been updating this blog for quite some time. A lot has happened...and I mean, A LOT! Anyway, first things' first, Salam Aidilfitri to everyone who knows us... May Allah bless us with this year and the coming year's joy of Aidilfitri.

This year we were off to Malacca a day before Raya and to Ipoh on the 2nd of Hari Raya. For this year, the theme in Malacca is Maroon and Ipoh it was brown... custom-made by Opah Amer... We didn't go to many places though in Malacca since Atuk and nenek are the eldest ones around so other people are the ones who come to our house. But Asyraaf managed to get loads and loads of Duit raya since he is the youngest member of the family :-) Sorry no pictures of family, Ibu went to the cemetery after prayers and the people kept coming just after Ibu came back...*phew! Ibu didn't get a chance to even sit coz our relatives we already waiting outside the house...

In Ipoh, we went back to Tok wan's house in Penang for a whole day. We were lucky we brought Asyraaf's cradle along otherwise he would have thrown a tantrum due to the hotness of the weather there. So he has his sleep and entertained everyone with his antiques after he woke up. It was hilarious when his Tok Ndak( the only female in the line of Tok Wan's siblings) put a scarf on him and he posed like a girl. God Asyraaf... make Ibu malu only la...no macho la like that... :-)

We went back to our home on Sunday morning. The next day I started working at my new workplace. Had to wake up so the very early and leave home by 6 am. My eyes are still half open. ANd drive allllllll the way to bangsar, up a 14-storey parking and rush to the office to ensure I upload the news as soon as possible. Otherwise you guys will still read yesterday's ews today...hehehe. But I get to go home early which is at 3 pm and avoid traffic jam altogether. I am still adjusting to the new work pattern...insya-Allah all will be well.

We are also in the midst of shifting back to KL...in the process of acquiring and paying for the house. Will be shifting by the end of the month. Oh yes I am also expecting now... for the second baby. Insya-Allah if all permits I will give birth somewhere in May next year. Pray for my well being. In the meantime it's still eat, vomit, eat, vomit and the loop goes on... :-)

Okay, got to go now...Will write more in the next entries...See ya!

What's Up & New

Hi everyone...Been quite some time since the last post... Ibu has been preoccupied with err... some things she'll tell later when the time is right...ok? For now, it's a secret between me and her...:-)

Anyway, since Ibu is too busy to write, I am going to write this time...See that picture up there ? That is me wearing Ibu's sunglasses, she managed to get that shot of me before I broke the glasses a few minutes later...oops...sorry Ibu...I am Superman and I haven't yet realized my strength...

So what's up and new lately...? Well... let me tell my developing skillsets, some of them deserve applauds and some..err...don't...:-)

1. I now walk around relentlessly, driving my parents and my caregiver crazy sometimes.
   
2. I will say 'nak' ( I want) to everything I see and sometimes try to wrestle the fork and spoon from my mom when she is soooo slow in feeding me with the soooo many food on the table...yummy, ramadhan is soooo full of food...
   
3. I love to fart when Ibu opens my diapers to be changed...it feels so freeeeeee....hihi...
   
4. I like to smile to everyone I pass by...sometimes I feel I am a superstar at the rate I'm going...Ibu n ayah told me... " Senyuman itu satu sedekah" ( a smile is a gift to others) ...therefore I smile...A LOT...
   
5. I ate a bug. I hated it when my parents took it out of my mouth...it felt so good...they don't understand!
   
6. I sleep on Ibu's tummy sometimes...it helps me sleep...
   
7. I like to kiss other girls my age at the nursery...(I'm just trying to be friendly...anyway, it's just on the cheek)
   
8. I like to parrot whatever my parents say... I thought I sounded smart but my parents sometimes gasped at what I say...( what did I do?)* confused
   
9. I will cry everytime Ibu or ayah leave the house without me...and wait at the door till they come home...
   
10. I like to eat vegetable crackers...yum yum...
    
11. I weigh 11.5 kg now... I'm a big boy...:-) Mommy said I'm heavy... ( doesn't she know it's all muscle?) * sigh...
12. I am very sensitive nowadays... a high tone of my parents voice will make me cry...I think it's my sensitive side trying to emerge...
13. I have not only 4, but many teeth coming out! Ibu didn't count exactly how many, but it sure looked more than 4. No wonder it hurts so bad at night!

Today I went for a pre-raya spree as my mom like to call it...(God, a real spree would kill me and Ayah!). And I got a songkok and sampin. My baju melayu has been requested to be made my Tok Amer...I hope it'll be ready soon...I can't wait to be dazzlingly handsome to girls back in my hometown... ;-)

So see ya...till my next entry...oops, Ibu's next entry...I got to sleep now...

Selamat Hari Raya...from Lebai Asyraaf

Selamat Hari Raya...and maaf zahir batin to all.... We hope u had a great time during Raya holidays with friends and family. We went back to Ipoh first this year at Wan's house then to Kuala Kangsar at his moyang's house and last day to Penang to see his moyang of Tok Wan's side. Asyraaf had a blast collecting his duit raya...:-), quite a lot. In the pic is Asyraaf in his aunt's walker (aunt is only 9 months old now...) which is small and suitable for babies of Asyraaf's age. This year Raya Asyraaf pakai baju melayu and ketayap. Lasted for a while...then back into usual uniforms because of the hot weather... :-).

Then disaster struck...huhu...Our car broke down in the highway near Gopeng. The car just stalled. It was about 7.30 in the morning. Asyraaf was sound asleep in the car when it happened. So we came out of the car with Asyraaf trying to make sense of what's happening still. Munir called for AAM tow truck and there we were...standing by the highway roadside ...smiling and taking pics like we were in the Taman Negara appreciating the greenery...LOL. Well...bound to happen I guess...first time buat hal tepi highway. After the car was towed, we went back to Wan's house and continued our journey to Malacca in Wan's car. Our car was left for repair at a mechanic's place. Phew....got a nice surprise di pagi raya :-).... Moral of the story, selalulah service kereta anda...
