ummie said to have a doa selamat after the usual tahlil gathering. then abah ask to invite his side too. so they decided to call all sides at different timing. ummie got help from nanny and aunty syid to put things together. even the cake was like a few days prior to the event. she didnt do much really... so was there a party?

here are some shots... you decide...

more on multiply

it was everyone's maiden trip to
it was a superb show. the moment the lights went off i was captivated by the lighting. plenty of things moving about in the dark. i saw an owl flying over my head. watching a show while munching on baby bites. what else would a baby ask for...
then we took a tram. nice breeze in my face, i soon fell asleep. hey its past my bedtime. the show itself started at ten!
ummie love it and we may return soon enough. as soon as she get her hands at some cheap tickets. these were sponsored by nanny. it only cost us $6 when it should have been $28. plus we get a $4 ben&jerry voucher.. a kewl $2/pax..woohoo

the minus point was the crowd

night safari...i recommend it to anyone who can part with their monies

ummie had some kind of reunion with Hobbes

they are funny ppl

i was passed from one to another

i prefer the 'bak' ones then the skinny aunties

they all smell good and tasty

i had my share of papaya buffet and...

waffles with icecream and caramel banana topping...whoa!!

what a night

they came and laugh and criticize one another

yet they are happy as hobbes ppl

most are still in HP while others moved on to greener pastures

ummie missed the old times dearly

nice to meet her freinds

with no teeth, i am still making pureed veges and fruits for her. it is mixed in her brown rice porridge. i know i am supposed to encourage her to chew. i think she is doing well in that department. she is able to 'bite' off and chew her biscuits like a pro. in fact she shocked us when she was able to suck off the straw...

corn, carrot and peas

the only cooking i do nowdays is for missy

i dare to call it cooking heh

even my porridge is done with the help of microwave!

i have negelected him

recently i thought i spice up some leftover macaroni that i brought home

voila...

there was a sense of achievement

as if i had done the cooking, when in fact, all i did was throw some mozarella and pop it in the oven!

.

otherwise i am head over heels about burger. i can survive on burgers really...this lazy fad got worst after missy's arrival. most of the sundays i work i would call McDonald's. i can call them a thousand times but i can never remember thair number. funny how memories work so much better with musical advertisements. i am not afraid of gaining coz i always give the sinful french fries a go. it takes a lot of guts to resists 'em french friez

still the best burgers around is

sinful Ramly DAGING SPESIAL with egg, spices, black pepper sauce, mayo n cheese.....

oooohh...yummy

pasar malam is a sure stop for me..;p

missy has learn the mighty rule of

whatever you hold is mine...

pulling away whatever Nadya has in her hands!

its a good thing she doesnt demand it like crying when she doesnt get it

both of them roam around the house

under the table and into the bedrooms

they crawled their way to the game room where their daddies were hiding

*they claim they need some kind of warm up before the fateful match

only to have the babies interrupting their game

when they pull the controller..hee

we were invited to dinner today

i had running nose. ummie fed me my dosage and i slept through the day. another reason for the long sleep would be due to Nadya killing my slumber with her high pitch shrills...

.

yesterday we went out shopping and ended up with a soccer match at their place way too late. i slept in Nadya's room. she would wake up screeaming for attention. i got startled and cried miserably. its no fun to be interrupted like that. what if i had to live through it everyday.. what if ummie had a second one... nightmare...

.

back to the today's dinner...

we were back at Nadya's place. my body started to heat up. i was running a fever up to 40 degrees. everything was a blur. i cant remember what i played with Nadya either. i think it was someone birthday too coz there were presents and many great food. but thanx to me we left early. the dinner was heating up with a game of scrabbles..

too bad.. next time maybe...

look i dont enjoy getting sick either...

goodnight

bed bugs

don't let the bed bugs bite

as embarrassed as i am. i need to write this down

my bedroom is plagued with bed bugs - fleas - pijat

.

it has been going on for more than two months now

.

firstly my hubby got big sores, bintat besar giler, in the morning

we thought it was mosquitoes lurking under the ikea plastic table

we sprayed and leave it as that

.

then weeks later we noticed missy got it too

.

i never had any. maybe my babies have sensitive skin or they dont like AB+

we bought all sorts of ointments

i change all the sheets in the room

every pillow or towel available goes in the washer

we moved to the master bedroom

we have been sleeping in the game room all this while

.

now when one feel any itch

we would jump into action

we would scutinize for any fleas

.

sometimes missy still get it so i change the sheets again

missy sleeps on a matteress on the floor

.

then last week pinky slept on my bed and got sores all over her body arms and legs

that creepy monster had a feast! feeding on my skinny pinky...

that concludes the fact that i got creepy crawlers aka fleas in the room

.

now which room?? game room or my bedroom!!

i was scared shit.. has it infected my whole house!!

.

we have seen it. its like a tiny mini cockroach. translucent body before feeding

with blood filling it, it looks just like a roach

now we have seen babies of it!!

.

i went to ikea contemplating to buy a new bed or matteress or HOUSE!

.

we learn to keep our cool

we spray the bed panels, chairs, table, everything in the room with baygon

its been goin on for a week now

we concluded it is in the game room bcoz pinky was playing the Xbox that night

we also asssume that it may be in our bed too

we will do this in stages or we end up sleeping in the toilet!!

.

so we left nothing to chance

we are 'sunning' all mattress and even chairs

.

still in the battle for now

if you have any suggestions do voice out

kampung ppl would have a great solution

where did it come from? i thought it would have face out in this concrete jungle

want some

want some

nanny dragged us to VivoCity

shopping on weekdays are over for ummie

she is learning to accept crowds now

it doesnt matter to me much

as long as someone cater to my needs

like eating yummy biscuits...

want some?

ummie didnt have a good meal though. there was a stapler in her meal. she knew one may still be stuck in her teeth. but she was too busy entertaining me. plus.. to stage a complain among the crowd was too 'mafan' so she walked away thinking a check in the mirror will do fine. to her horror she had chipped her tooth!!

too bad ummie. its ok Mr HewlettPackard will fix the problem

meanwhile Watch Me Video here...

new horizon

new horizon

ummie had risen among the ranks and landed herself in a new spot today.

she has left the manufacturing world for the logistical world of SupplyChain...

whats bigger is that she is now on normal shift. no more free days

thats a big change for all of us. i will be sent to baba's place like everyday!

i can sense she's terrified but she always put on a brave front

she still leaves home the same time even when she starts at 0830 now

maybe she trying to 'siam' the crazy ERP gantries...
