Insyirah Solehah @ 10 months

Lama x bercerita pasal Insyirah....

Dia dah 10 bulan skrg, dah ada 2 batang gigi, dah berdiri dan skrg sibuk praktis nak jalan!

Badan pon dah makin susut bukan sbb dia x suka makan, dia sgt suka makan tapi sbb dia dah makin aktif, agaknya....

Membuatkan kami makin x senang duduk nak2 sejak dah masuk rumah bertangga ni, naik tangga tu jugak kegemaran dia. Sy ada rakamkan video dia naik tangga tapi susahnya la nak upload ke Youtube...huhuhu.

Mulut pon dah bising, suka berceloteh, kalau 'Abah' tu kemain betul dia sebut tapi sebutan 'Ummi' x penah dgr lagi..alahai...

Rambut tetap takde...hahahaha.

Kalau dapat main steering ni, kemain lagi dia!

Suka tul budak ni ngan walker ni...

utk seketika terlupa jap dia aktiviti memanjat tangga..hehehe

Self-Concious

Tengahari tadi, lepas jemput sikembar dr sekolah then dropped them at daycare, I noticed this one red flashy Mitsubishi ASX parked near the daycare's gate.

And instantly I admire the car!

Selepas 45 minit, sempat balik rumah buat apa2 yg patut sbb daycare dan rumah sy di taman yg sama, I came back to the daycare sbb nak monitor the twins naik van pegi sekolah agama as today is the first day they going to ride the van.

The Mitsubshi ASX was still there...

Apparently, the owner is a mother who also sent her two sons, Darjah 1 & Darjah 2 to the daycare and today is their first day too to ride the van.

So sementara tunggu van dtg, sempat la kami sembang serba-sedikit. She and the family just moved in to the neighbourhood too, their house very near to our house rupa2nya! Dia di Jln 14 dan kami di Jln 13.

Dalam sembang2 tu sy segan sebenarnya!

Sbb she's so outstanding in appearance - muka cantik, badan cantik, dressed-up ala2 datin gitu...and drives a Mitsubishi ASX! 

And I, on the other hand sungguh selekeh! So mokcik jadi ala2 self-concious hokeh!

During the brief moments we had the conversation, byk jugak la info I gathered and one of the points taken - dia pon takde maid and I guess having 2 sons school aged sure she has a lot of works to do jugak at home, tak ke?

Tapi cemana dia mampu nampak begitu lawa, with full make-up and baju ala2 nak pi dinner? Mokcik ni nak sapu krim muka pon kadang2 x sempat...huhuhu.

Maybe dia ada strategi yg bagus tak? 

Something to ponder and there is always room for improvement, eh?

Pagi Yg Serabut

Hakikatnya setiap pagi mmg serabut pon when it's school day.

Tapi pagi tadi extra serabut sbb ada byk dateline x sempat buat smlm walaupun smlm hari Ahad. Hari Sabtu busy mengemas rumah - walaupun masih x kemas2...huhuhu.

I was not well yesterday. Selepas buat nasi lemak utk sarapan memerangkap lunch utk Mak, Abah, Abang sekeluarga dan kami sekeluarga and after sending them off (Mak Abah stayed with us for two weeks since pegi KB dan tunggu sampai kami selesai pindah, membantu apa2 yg patut - terima kasih byk2 Mak dan Abah!), I went to sleep sbb sakit kepala dan x sedap badan.

Sikembar highlighted since Friday few things needed to be done before school starts on Monday:

- put on lencana sekolah agama on tudung, sbb baru je dpt lencana last week, and I told them I was gonna do it on the weekend.

- tulis nama on the books.

- balut buku2 latihan : sebelum sekolah start mokcik sempat balut buku teks saja. Diorg kata buku latihan Matematik kena balut cepat sbb cikgu dah pesan!

- potong kuku sbb cikgu akan check every Monday: selalu overlooked kuku anak2

Unfortunately, I slept the whole day sbb x larat sgt rasanya. Ingatkan mlm dah ok but mlm still rasa belum ok :(. Rumah of course bersepah mcm nak rak but dear cik HB took the initiative basuh pinggan mangkuk and beli dinner - which I really appreciate!!!

So pagi ni I forced myself bangun awal2 at 5 dan mcm nak rak buat benda2 yg penting - iron baju2, especially tampal lencana, sempat tulis nama on few exercise books, balut buku Matematik je dulu (yg lain2 I told them akan dibuat secara berperingkat :P), kemas beg baju, makanan utk hantar ke babysitter Insyirah n daycare sikembar and extra stuffs - kena make sure semua ready utk sekolah agama sbb hari ni first day kembar akan ke sekolah agama dr daycare. 

Rasa nak nangis pon ada, nak amik EL pon ada, nak amik MC pon ada!

Siap utk pertama kali, cik HB angkut Insyirah sekali masa nak hantar kembar gi sekolah sbb sejak ada rumah bertangga ni Insyirah makin susah dikawal. Asal terlepas aje, dia akan panjat tangga dgn lajunya...huhuhu. Terima kasih cik HB kerana memahami sbb kalau dia x bawak Insyirah, I would end up doing nothing except monitoring her! 

Nasib baik bekerja dlm flexible environment. Walau terlambat, xde la berdepan dgn punch card merah ke apa but still, sedaya-upaya I try to be at work on time sbb takut rezeki x berkat :(.

Well, next weekend kena la cuba buat byk benda on weekly basis bagi mengelakkan chaotic mornings mcm pagi tadi. Skrg ni kena buat check list on things to do on weekend, things to do before sleep dan byk lagi la checklist!

Oh, pagi tadi Linda my fren, setelah sy ngadu kat dia my chaotic morning, dia cadangkan tempah stamp utk nama anak2 lepas tu stamp je la kat buku. 

Which is so brilliant, isn't it?

Tanda-tanda Rezeki Yang Berkat

Jom berusaha ke arah ini!

Tahun Baru dgn Dapur Baru :)

Hoyeeeeeee!!! Dapur sudah siap! (kami pon dah pindah masuk)

Red & Black temanya sempena x tau...hehehe. Cuma pernah ternampak dlm majalah Impiana ke Anjung Seri tah combination kaler sebegini.

Yg ingatnya masa cik HB suh pilih kaler utk kitchen cabinet kami sedang melawat rumah kawannya yg dah siap renovation. They used red & black as well. Jadi sy pon terus pick kaler ini.

Semoga mokcik terus rajin memasak...hehehehe

Along the Journey of 2012

In 3 days time it's gonna be another new year....

Feels like time flies so quickly, does not really notice that it's already been a year. Even when I looked through the timeline in FB, since I started the FB account in end of 2007, can't believe that it has been 5 years already.

2012 is quite a happening year for me - in March, having another child after 7 years. It's another girl! Even many, including us naturally expecting a boy after the twin girls, yet Insyirah brings us joys, prides and loves.  No doubt, sometimes it hurts me when I received comments like "it's a girl again?" or "you have to try again". I will try again of course but I wouldn't mind if the next one is also a girl. A child is always a child no matter a boy or girl, they would always bring joy to the parents, are they not?

In May, I started a new job after being a full-time housewife for nearly 4 years. Didn't expect I would be able to be an engineer again after I resigned from this profession in 2008. Alhamdulilah, though I didn't work for such a long time, when I'm back into track, I adjusted well with the works. The six-year-experiences before the resignation really helps! Juggling life between works and home responsibilities is no doubt, so challenging but I am trying my best to manage everything well and I vowed to myself the family would always be my priority.

2012 also the year the twins turned 7 years old. Started their first year of school, and the age where we as a parents must properly educate them of Muslim's responsibility - of solat & fasting. 

2012 also the year we are moving to our own house. Errr... should have been moving in 2 months ago but the renovations works was delayed. Tomorrow going to a big day of moving out and in. 

So, Alhamdulilah, life is great...THANK YOU ALLAH.

A friend in FB asked a meaning of happiness and I guess for me happy means when you feel everything is enough for you and you are always being grateful no matter how your life is.....

Let's welcome 2013!
