August already?!

Where should I start? Haha! Time flies so fast. So many things to blog about, so many photos to share.. Azam untuk kembali aktif berblogging, dari setahun ke setahun tang tu jugak. Tak bergerak-gerak. Entry pun ala-ala malu-malu kucing timbul sebulan sekali apa cerita? Haha! 

So anyway.. I hope it's not too late to wish all of you, especially my readers Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir dan Batin. To those yang akan balik from kampung halaman masing-masing, have a safe journey back. Yang memang dah ada kat KL ni ha dari mula (like me!), have a great weekend :)

On Teacher's Day

Ha ni cerita pasal Hari Guru pulak. Since anak dah pergi sekolah kan.. Haha!

At first I decided to give a tumbler from Candylicious (macam dalam gambar yang kat atas ni) sorang satu to all the teachers yang ada kat sekolah Umar and Kasih. Letak aje chocolates campur-campur kat dalam tu and ikat ribbom, habis cerita! Easy peasy :D

But before that aku ada la buat Happy Teacher's Day note together with their photos, nak attach sekali dengan tumbler tu. So I went to Kinokuniya sebab nak beli kertas keras untuk tampal the note (ala-ala untuk jadikan bookmark ke kan). Sekali aku ternampak notebook tu. It's a very simple pocket notebook actually. Then I got  an idea. Bagus jugak kalau bagi the teachers the notebook, diorang boleh letak dalam handbag and mana la tau just in case in will come in handy. Alang-alang dah ada notebook, aku tambah la pen jugak :)

This is how the final product looked like..

Candylicious tumbler with chocolates, a notebook and a colored pen

to each teachers..

To look at their happy faces when they received their presents,

is priceless!

Currently reading: The Missing Girls

MISSING: TWO YOUNG GIRLS FROM THE

SAME NEIGHBORHOOD.

Ashley Pond was only twelve years old when she vanished from a school bus stop in a town south of Portland, Oregon. As a shocked community came together and police began a frantic search, another tragedy was just about to take place.

NO ONE BELIEVED THAT EVIL COULD BE

SO CLOSE TO HOME...

Miranda Gaddis was Ashley's best friend. Just two months after Ashley's disappearance, Miranda was on her way to school when she, too, was abducted. Nobody knew the scandalous, unspeakable secret that the two girls shared... except for one man who lived just one block away.

UNTIL A HEROIC GRANDMOTHER BROUGHT

A KILLER TO JUSTICE.

The police and FBI managed to overlook the girls' neighbor whose daughter was a friend of Miranda and Ashley's - and who had a catalog of sexual-assault allegations behind him. Author Linda O'Neal was a private investigator intimately involved in this shocking case. Now, she and her co-authors - also participants in the case - tell the chilling story of one town's devastating loss... and how the murderer was finally found.

Sempena Hari Ibu

You know, the feelings when your son took out a card from his bag and said "Ni untuk Mama. Umar sayang Mama.." Mau tak terharu aku dibuatnya! 

He made the card at school..

Masa nak bagi card tu pun tersipu-sipu malu dia. Comel sangat! :D

Walaupun simple, but it means the world to me :)

Movie date..

Oleh kerana dia sangat behave dalam panggung wayang, sekali lagi aku bawak dia to the cinema to watch Rio 2 :D But this time we went together with his close friend at school, Harizs. Masa tu adalah hari ibu-ibu bawak anak-anak jalan without the husbands tagging along. Oh my, berpeluh ketiak. Haha!

Jun (Harizs's mom) pun ada anak kecik lebih kurang sebaya Kasih. Ha just imagine la tak menang tangan kitorang nak handle all the darlings.. Tu yang dapat ambik gambar dalam panggung aje tu :D

Outing

Percubaan untuk bawak Umar and Kasih to the cinema to watch Spiderman  berjalan dengan lancar nampaknya. So boleh la bawak diorang lagi lepas ni :D No crying no drama, nothing. Phew! Kasih memang best, she was sleeping all the way dari mula sampai habis. Bunyi berdentam-dentum sikit pun dia tak bangun. Kagum aku..

We took 2 couple seats, so selesa la kitorang anak-beranak. We all ambik seats yang paling atas and yang paling tepi sekali. Mana la tau kan, kot-kot anak-anak menjerit ke melalak ke senang kitorang nak cabut :D

Berkampung (di PCMC)

Luluh hati aku every time I looked at those pictures. Gara-gara demam panas yang tak turun-turun suhunya. Bagi makan ubat pun tak baik-baik. Temperature was between 38 and 39, dari pagi sampai malam. Terus bawak pergi hospital..

Sampai-sampai, lepas aje check temperature (it was 39.3 at that time!) one of the nurses cepat-cepat bagi aku satu mangkuk air sejuk untuk lap kepala and badan Kasih.Then yang paling aku tak tahan bila ambik darah la, to check whether ada denggi ke tak. Alahai :( Aku ni memang tak boleh tengok bila anak-anak kena cucuk jarum. Nak pengsan! -__-

Ha ni yang si besar ni..

Adik kena pakai hospital pajama, dia pun nak.

Nurse kat situ pulak suka melayan..

The day before we discharged..

Dah tak demam but the doctor still nak monitor..

Alhamdulillah, am glad that she's OK now. Berkampung kat PCMC for 5 days, letih jugak dibuatnya. Finally, home sweet home!

Johnny Rockets rocks!

Ni la dia bila sekolah dah dekat dengan shopping mall.. Ada pulak tempat makan yang dia suka kat mall tu.. Every time aku ambik dia from school, mesti dia mintak nak makan kat Johnny Rockets. Tiap-tiap hari OK! Tak boleh la tiap-tiap hari nak. Bukan soal wang, ini soal kesihatan -__-

 Tengok la berseleranya dia makan..

The food was OK. Ala dia bukannya makan apa pun. Selalunya aku akan order fries dengan chicken strips for him, he's fine already. Aku rasa dia suka sebab tengah syok ko makan-makan, tiba-tiba ada pulak waiter/waitress dok menari-nari kat depan tu. The little things that makes him looking forward to go to Johnny Rockets every time :)

Go school!

Since we don't have a helper anymore, we finally decided to send the kids to the Child Care Centre since dah dapat kemudahan tu. Bersyukur sangat! Malas aku nak cari helper lagi dah. Selalu sangat bertukar-ganti, sampai penat nak kena train orang baru all the time. We all start hantar Umar and Kasih to the centre last February, on ad-hoc basis at first. Sebab diorang tak biasa lagi kan, takut budak-budak tu culture shock pulak..

Their very 1st day at school..

In March baru we all start hantar diorang full-time. So far so good. Menangis pagi-pagi buta tak nak pergi school tu ada la masa awal-awal. Haha! Puas jugak la memujuk especially si abang. Si adik no hal, tersengih memanjang :D

Dah 3 bulan ni they are at the centre, Alhamdulillah I can see some changes in Umar. Nakal tetap nakal :D But ada few positive things yang dia praktikkan whenever he's at home, tu yang buat aku dengan Ben happy. There are a few things that we learned for the past 3 months since we send them to the centre, we have to appreciate and do not take people for granted, and we have to give and take as well..

During the Chinese New Year celebration..

I will update more about their activities and their milestones from time to time, insyaAllah :) Currently the kids at the centre tengah sibuk practice for the launching ceremony at the end of this month. So si Umar tu semangat la dok menyanyi-nyanyi kat rumah. Haha! Oh I can't wait for the day to come :D

Till then..

#friendship

@ Melur & Thyme, KLCC

celebrating Mayang's birthday..

Siapa sangka.. We've been friends since we were 13! Oh my God, that's 20 years of friendship.. Walaupun tak dapat nak jumpa selalu, but we make it a point to meet up especially during birthdays :)

I'm blessed to have such sweet friends like them :) And I hope our friendship will last forever, insyaAllah..
