mak² pergi holiday lagi

My mom is away from today till Friday. After the house moving thingy and looking after yours truly during confinement last year then tolong tengok kan Aariq & monitor the maid and that kenduri last weekend, she really deserves this break. Sisters and mommy outing every year. They have been to Kuching, Langkawi and Singapore and this time they chose Terengganu. When she told us the total cost for this holiday I was like..biar betul. Boleh pergi oversea. Mana tak nya hotel nak yang best², facing laut and all. Ada personal tour guide then naik Alphard, flight MAS. For me, mommy's duty takes priority now. Susah nak pergi holiday and all. My family together with my cousins and aunt are going to Vietnam end of April and again I have to skip this. Some ppl don't mind to bring the kids especially babies for holiday but that's just not me. I'm a bit fussy when it comes to things like this, nanti stress sebab tu tak kena ni tak kena. Mika I don't mind sebab dah besar..Aariq la leceh sikit. Takpe la, I will do that once the kids are lil bit older ;)

We were supposed to bring Aariq for an optional jab last night tapi dah malam and Mika did not take his afternoon nap, he looked tired and sleepy. Not a wise move to go with a sleepy + moody kid, so we postponed the appointment till next Tuesday. He did not go to school semalam sebab dia macam cough + flu so sent him to mom's. Ingat dia boleh la rest ke..but I was wrong. Ada je benda dia buat..panjat meja, naik atas turun bawah, then sibuk nak duduk dekat adik dia and my mom said at one time, dia pukul Aariq's head..not really pukul macam tap la. Isshhh...Mika oh Mika. Mana dia dapat energy, tak penat². Time I balik nak amik dia, comot sungguh, berpeluh².

I woke up like banyak kali this morning. Aariq boleh buat no.2 at 4am! Dah habis tuh, boleh senyum² mata pon bulat je. Tapi dia diam je dalam baby cot. Sambung tidur then at 6am, Mika squeezed himself in between me and hubby. I was already up and awake by 6.20am dan terlebih rajin masak nasi goreng. MIL came to supervise the maid. Hubby WFH. Mika bila lama tak pergi school, mula moody..ni tak kena tu tak kena. Nak² lagi MIL at home, dia memang tak nak la tegur and all. Nak mommy je. That's how moody he can be tapi kejap je la. Kena pandai ambil hati dia, then he will be alright. The maid will need to master this if Mika start duduk dengan dia nanti.

too big for the stroller eh? 

lalalalala

sorry, this is a protected entry

thank you

Monday is here..cepat betul kamu datang. Tak sabar² eh? What a busy Saturday tapi a 'meriah' one for me :) I will blog about the event nanti. Bottom line is, Alhamdulillah..all went well. Guests ramai datang and almost all of my relatives were there. Thank you so much for coming and making it an unforgettable event for me and family, Aariq especially. BIG thanks to my parents for sponsoring major part of the event. My dad as always the banker and mom being a mom, she was the main anchor for that event handling those 'remeh-temeh' part ie doorgifts, liaising with the caterer and not to forget helping to buy Mika's jubah and for Aariq, his one needs to be custom made so Umi was the one who helped me to find and sent it to the tailor in PH. She even asked the tailor to sew the material to cover the baby swing and table. Amazing I tell you. I could tell that she does enjoy herself doing this kind of stuffs, boleh jadi wedding/kenduri planner ni. Cousins, next kenduri can ask for Titit's advise :) Thanks to my PIL too for sponsoring the lambs, my SILs and BIL for coming and also thanks to my SIL’s husband for being the photographer of the day. Can't wait to see those photos. To my sister and cousins duts, you girls rock! Thanks for babysitting the boys, helping out with the deco, arranging and organizing stuffs and oh my brother too, for being there when we need you. Ok..I sound like a grammy winner now but no really..THANKS THANKS THANKS!

all eyes on aariq

like seriously?

It’s Friday and I’m on half day today. How cool is that? Tak cool macam hubby and sister yang dah on leave today to prepare for the kenduri aqiqah tomorrow. Feel so weird driving to the office alone and don’t quite like it when hubby is not around. Mengada betul Eeja ni. I ordered some cupcakes as the doorgifts and the kakak will deliver it to my office later in the afternoon. Although it’s a school holiday, Mika still goes to the nursery and today ada birthday celebration for the other kids including babysitter's son. Kat sana ramai kawan including his mama’s son, abang. How la nanti kalau Mika betul² tak pergi nursery dah? Will he enjoy staying at home without his friends and the caretakers yang dah kenal dia since dia 4 months old?

We are still waiting for the official note from immi, biar la dia kat situ dulu sampai betul² confirm the maid is ours. And today, ada news cakap maid from now onwards can only do ONE chore, I repeat ONE only. If dia cook, cook je la cannot babysit, cannot do laundry and min wage is rm700. Like seriously? Kalau kerja lipat kain je boleh dapat rm700. Senang betul dah la makan, pakai semua ditanggung. Even kita pon multi-task buat macam-macam, kena bayar utilities lagi..this is so ridiculous. Maybe sebab ada kes employers yang buat maid dia over work kot tapi how about the good employers yang utamakan kebajikan the maid? Hmhmhm..entah apa² betul.

Ohhh..did you guys follow The Walking Dead? I think pernah mention dulu I suka tengok cerita pelik² macam zombies, virus attack dan seangkatan dengannya. The thing with TWD ni, dia macam tergantung sekarang. Sigh..nak tau ending pls. Nevertheless I still hope the episodes continue. Also, I follow Spartacus, pernah mention kat sini. The original actor for that Spartacus role has passed away. Now replace with another actor but I still prefer the late Andy Whitfield kot. Ok, enough babbling. Time to check emails and sort out apa yang perlu. Kata nak half day kan..later :)

aariq is 4 month old

Aariq is 4 month old today! Alhamdulillah. Dah besar sikit anak mommy ni. Tapi Aariq ni macam more on the quiet side. Ke sebab kecik lagi dia senyap? Bunyi bunyi gaks but tak sebising abang dia or maybe I dah biasa Mika bising sgt kot. Let see his progress so far..

Took this from Mika’s development when he was 4 month old..jom tengok sama tak (bukan nak compare but as benchmark je)

• boleh main² and buat facial expression to him - sama
• loves to smile and boleh gelak² especially if kena tickle – sama
• suka bila mommy kiss bunyi² at his tummy & pipi – sama tapi in Aariq’s case dia ni macam sensitive geli kat bahu. Kalau bukak baju tuh nampak sangat dia geli²
• pandai merengek or was it mengamuk bila orang nak pakaikan baju..dia rimas tak suka orang pegang² dia or was it just with ME? – tak merengek tapi geli and kalau lapar confirm merengek
• he still loves to play "bubble" sampai habis basah baju. pakai bib pon basah jugak. kena beli the plastic one kot - sama
• still suka masukkan tangan dalam mulut and other things too, toys, hankie..u name it..sebab dia dah boleh pegang - sama
• suka pegang botol susu although tak kuat sangat but boleh ar – ni ada tapi dia just sentuh sbb bottle dia besar kot, I pakai the 9 oz punya although he only drinks 4 oz at the moment :P
• then if tak nak minum susu dah pandai tolak keluar sendiri or buat bunyi cam tiup² - aariq tak buat bunyi tiup but dia cam babble, cakap² meaning dia tak nak dah minum
• suka sangat tengok cartoon or any shows yang ada nyanyi² sampai boleh gelak² senyum²..jangan nangis sudah – sama tapi tak pulak senyum gelak² more like in his own world, playing with his fingers, tengok² orang..i notice dia ni macam the observer type dan alert
• bbsitter cakap dia dah boleh meniarap tapi mommy belum dapat tengok dia lagi buat so i have to see it first to believe it :P – aariq dah boleh roll over first time when he was 3.5 month old. Ada la 3 kali kot dia roll. Lepas tuh tak buat dah..mengiring je..tangan tak lepas². Practice makes perfect son! jangan malas² ok
• don't like to be left alone as he will surely cries if he still awake..nak attention la tuh. especially when he knows his mommy is around – aariq ok je kot kena tinggal, dia buat hal dia sendiri tapi tak senang duduk if dia lapar or sleepy
• sangat suka diri..if duduk atas lap pon dia akan stretch kan both his legs nak diri..if nak masukkan dia dlm car seat pon dia nak diri padahal suruh duduk – sama!

Basically, development progress dia sama dengan Mika. I love you baby!
