"Apa adik cakap," Pt. 4

A continuation of "Apa adik cakap"... Part 4

Introduction: This sequel is about the progress that adik is making in developing her communication skill. Currently, adik has expand her vocabulary by picking up words from her surrounding. Now is the phase that mama n babah have to be more careful with words, try to avoid saying bad words (especially babah, he likes to use bad words when he is angry with something, usually when he is loosing in the PS's game that he was playing). Adik can now convey her needs more clearly. If she can't explain or say what she wants properly, getting a question mark face from me, she would simply say, "tuu...tuu.. (itu)..." and then grab my hand and take me to the location of that wanted thing. She recently can argue on certain things. Check out these two scenarios:

Scene 1: Adik is playing PS with her beloved sistah. One thing for sure is, it's difficult to ask adik to stop playing the game, she will without fail make a tantrum by crying out loud and screaming and insists that I carry her around for the rest of the day. Adoiyaaaaa.... bergayut aje la nanti....But one day, she was a little bit smart... As usually adik n kakak were playing PS in their room, while babah was playing with his PS at the living room.

Babah: Adik...sudah la tu...dah lame dah...
Adik: OK... (but she kept on playing)
Babah: Kakak...dah tu, stop please!!
Kakak: OK babah...
Adik: Noooooooo!!!
Kakak: Dah la adik....
Adik: Nooooooooo!! Adik nak main game....
Kakak: Sudah!!!
Babah: Dah tu adik...esok boleh main lagi
Adik: (she started a tantrum by screaming and crying) Noooooooo!!!

Then adik got up, and ran out of the room to the living room.... she stopped at the hall that separate the living room from the bedrooms... then she said..

Adik: Tengok tu, babah main lagi!!!

Then she ran back to the room and continue playing.... hhahahahahhha.... apo den nak kato... layor buruk anak den sorang nih....

Moral for us: Please set a good example to the kids. Susah kalau ada loyar buruk dlm family nih!!

Scene 2: Kakak has always been the princess in the family. This is because she likes feminine, girly things, such as dolls, children makeup and jewellery things, etc. Adik on the other hand was a bit agressive, favors boy's things like trains and cars, until recently when she showed her interest on her kakak's barbie dolls. So both of them are now regularly fighting over the dolls almost everyday. So one day, kakak was getting tired of not letting adik buat ghete of her barbie dolls. Kakak nie pun satu, one thing about her is she doesn't like sharing her things with adik, until I persuaded her. It so happened that kakak has 2 barbie dolls, one she willingly gave to adik, sebab apa tau, sebab dah buruk sikit...aiyoh.... Dah buruk, of coz la adik nak yang cantik kan... (as I am writing this, they are fighting over the barbies again)...this is a dialogue between kakak n adik fighting over a barbie once upon a day.

Kakak: bak la adik.........
Adik: (making "i-couldn't-care-less" face)
Kakak: bagi laaaa!! (kakak is getting agrier)
Me: (adeh budak2 nie gaduh pulak...den nak menulis nih!!)

I then turned around and face both of them.

Me: Apa kakak...
Kakak: adik nie laaa...ambil barbie orang...barbie dia ada, tak nak main...
Me: Ala...barbie aje...main la benda lain..
Kakak: Kakak nak barbie kakak....
Me: Adik...barbie adik mana?
Adik: Ada...
Me: Mana?
Adik: lam bilik....(sambil buat tak tau)
Me: gi la ambil barbie adik, bagi kakak balik barbie dia
Adik: OK... tapi adik nak main barbie kakak...
Kakak: (masam mencuka)
Me: (buat tak tau aje laaa)

Adik nie bukan ape, suka sangat sakat kakaknye. Tapi bila dia dah tengok kakak dia tarik muka 14, baru la dia bagi...hahahhahahah...dia tak kisah pun pasal barbie tu, she just wants her sister attention yo....

Next week the school reopen, sunyi balik la adik kat rumah nanti....

Ramadhan Day 21: Two pony tails

Today is the 21st day of Ramadhan. Alhamdullillah, it is getting warmer by day, but I have yet to decide on the washing and changing the bedspread, duvet covers and warmers, and put away the heater, afraid that the chilly wind will blow again.

But one thing for sure, as the noon passes, I will get sleepy. Yawning frequently, almost everyday. Dugaan dugaan. Blog writing is one remedy that could make me stay awake, or if I can no longer sustain from being awake, I will go to TV3 website and watch what ever available online that interest me. Like today, I just downloaded and watched a few episodes of Masam Manis Ramadhan. I knew about this drama from kty, thanks kty for recommending (indirectly because I knew about it from her blog). Best-best...

OK... Today I want to write about adik. Adik used to have wavy hair when she was small, but her hair is now more straighter and longer. I can now tie up her hair. But adik doesn't like the idea of her hair being pull together to a pony tail, or two or even in a tight bun. Well, she only allows me to tie her hair up into a tight bun when I bathe her, because she doesn't like her hair gets wet, as long as you will untie it immediately after that. Everyday, I will persuade her to allow me to tie her hair, nampak kemas sikit. An everytime she will turned down my offer. But yesterday, out of ordinary she agreed to my offer. She even requested two pony tails (am not sure if this is the correct word for ikat dua). Excited I was, after getting her hair done as she requested, I then took some pictures of her.

Taken outside our apartment, that pink and purple flowers are not blooming.

Today, she didn't want me to tie her hair, again. hmmm....

Ok... till we meet again, selamat berbuka, biar sederhana.

Ramadhan Day 11: Spring has sprung?

Today is the 11th day of Ramadhan. Alhamdullillah, the weather is hot with mild wind today. I washed a load of clothes yesterday and today, opppsss not literally, the washing machine did that. And thankful for the sunny weather, the clothes dried up quickly. This morning atang and I had a bit of spring cleaning, eh dah spring ka? It is not until September for the spring to arrive, but it is getting warmer nowadays, I no longer have to wear jumper during the day, still need to wear pull-over at night, and still using quilts at night. Well, the kids kicked it away at night, I still pulled the quilts up to my head. I remember last year, somewhere in August, we thought that the winter was over, and it was time for spring cleaning. So I washed the quilt cover, jumper, changed the flannelette sheet, and stored them away. So confident that the winter has gone. And a few days later, it was cold again, end up I had to take out all the things that I had put away. So this year I will wait until spring to come, flowers blooming until I starts storing all the winter garmet. This time would be much easier, will put everything in the packing boxes, for give away and take home.

As I have mentioned in the previous entry, yesterday we went shopping instead of looking for used boxes. We went to DFO just to get new slip-on for my lil princesses. Each of them has a pair of slip-on for raya. For baju raya, hmmm not sure we will get them something new, because they still have several pairs of baju kurung from last year raya, some dresses and new t-shirts, so maybe we will buy when necessary. The shoes because yaya n adik don't have a nice pair of shoes to put on, and that was why we bought them each. Tak mo 'membrazir' (yaya slang of membazir). Although here the celebration boleh tahan juga, with open houses every weekend, tapi takkan sama like celebrating at home. So nak beli yang baru-baru pun macam kurang semangat sikit, plus I will definately busy after the eid, preparing for submission. I am more enthusiast with the submission than the eid preparation. Picture below shows yaya's n adik's raya shoes,

Raya shoes for lil princesses

Yesterday jugak was an election day for Australia. Tak tau pulak sape yang menang semalam. Sorry, malas nak ambil tau. Anyway, about iftar. A day before yesterday, that was Friday, mood malas nak masak tu datang. Actually I have no idea to cook, like I said in the Friday's entry. I was browsing through a few of my fav cyber chefs' blog until I saw encik Mat Gebu's sosej gulung rangup. I had a couple of instant pastry in the freezer, and I used them all, bagus2, habis kan semua, clear the fridge. Sausage puff for Friday's iftar.

Sausage wrap in instant pastry

Yesterday, since it was weekend, I spent my time in the kitchen and made mee kari. Our neighbour came and gave us mee goreng mamak.  

My neighbour's mee goreng mamak (she's penang mari)

For today's iftar, I going to cook nasi ayam, kuih, maybe kuih bakar kot. OK laaa...I need to fill up a form then packing some clothes that I am not going to wear anymore in the box. Till we meet again, selamat berbuka, biar sederhana.

Ramadhan Day 5: Enthusiasm

Today is the 5th day of Ramadhan. The busy week starts again, need to concentrate more on my writing. Am sooo missing my parents dreadfully, so I need to finish this fast, pronto, rapido.... I can do it!!! I keep chanting this in my heart,"must submit in October, must submit in October, must submit in October". Friends please pray for me ya. Tawakkaltuwallah....

OK, I can't spend a lot of time here, so here a brief. Yaya is at school today, so that leave me with adik at home. Adik as usual la, when nobody else at home except me, she will spend the day watching TV, her fav movie selection or doodling on a piece of paper. Dah lame tak citer pasal adik new words kan. Her recently added to the dictionary is, "Kukumi" haaaa....macam burung cuckoo pulak ye.... What she is trying to say is "excuse me". hahahhahah... nak minta lalu, "kukumi", nak minta attention den jap, "kukumi mama".

So for yesterday iftar, because it was Sunday, so terlebih rajin sikit, I cooked bryani rice, beef kurma and acar darat (Mak' recipe).  Kuih?..hmmm still have leftover donut from a day before yesterday's iftar and cucur udang from the iftar with neighbour makan-makan, so heat them up laa...

Nasi briyani set (Atang's plate)

While Atang had nasi briyani, yaya, adik and me had soto ayam from our neighbour. Thank you neighbour :D.

Soto from neighbour

Weekend masing-masing rajin ke dapur masak macam-macamkan. Weekday, sorry la hehehhe... buka terus makan nasi campur yo, takde kuih-kuih nie :D. If I am lucky, we will have leftover...ahahah punye la malas. Like today, we still have beef kurma from yesterday's iftar, so I think I will cook sambal ikan bilis as add on.

Oh yes...before I forget, the Bazaar Ramadhan organise by the Malay Student Association of Queensland (Persatuan Pelajar Melayu Queensland, PPMQ) has already started since last Saturday. Same like previous years, the Bazaar opens on Saturday and Sunday, from 3 to 5pm, but the location will be announce each week. Last weekend, the Bazaar operated at Guyatt Park. Hope they will still continue at the park, I think it is most convenience for everybody.  Tak sempat lagi nak pergi, actually, we don't know what to buy yet. Tengok la one day I will go down and take some pictures. OK laaa... till we meet again. Selamat berbuka, biar sederhana.

p.s. Welcome to new readers and followers to my humble blog. Thank you for reading bebelan ntahapahapantah of mine nih...hehhehe.. For those who want to link or add my blog to your blog roll, please inform me ya, so that I can add you too. Thanks again, happy reading.

Movie: Toy Story 3

The school holiday has just started. Last Saturday we spent our day at the MovieWorld, yup for the hmmm hmmmm can't remember how many, maybe 4 or 5 times. Well, that included the first time we went there with my bro and his family, in 2008. And end of last year, we bought the season passes, to join my sistah and her family who came here around December last year. The pass ends this 30th June. And that was the reason why we took the kids there last Saturday, let them (and us) enjoy the ride for the very last time. BTW I do really need a break from the work. Tersangat sangat la stress sekarang nih....

Tonight, atang insisted that we go out and watch Toy Story 3. This will gonna be adik first experience. We saw a good sign of adik adapting to dark places when we went inside Shrek's at the MovieWorld. The first time we brought her there....errr second time to be exact (she was 4 months old when we brought her there for the first time, so she didn't understand what was going on), she freaked out. So, for the 2nd time in a row (a large gap in between ya), I have to sit at one of the motionless chairs that were reserved for preggies and parents who have to sit their kids on the lap. We were lucky last Saturday because adik enjoyed Shrek and was pretty attentive to the 3D movie, with that huge 3D glasses perched on her nose and sat on that motion chair all by her own, even refused my arm around her shoulders. So finally I got to sit on the motion chair, for the first and the last time. Crikey!!

Hopefully adik (and us) will enjoy Toy Story 3. Maybe this gonna be our last cinema outting in Brisbane...yikes!!

yours truly,

10-minutes post: @ the most comfy place at home

Since I have this recurring backpain, I do my work on this comfy sofa bed. I think I can write better at this comfy nook rather than sitting on the office chair. Maybe the bulky chair, and the height of the table have force me to slouch a lot, hence causing me the backpain.



And there is another added advantage, adik seemed to be on her best behaviour when I am sitting at this particular spot. She didn't bother me much, and can play by herself most of the time. But I have to make sure that her fav movie of the day is playing.

OK, I have target to meet today. Have a productive and pleasant day ahead.

"Rabbi Yassir wa la Tu'assir wa tammin bilkhair wabika nas'ta'een ya fattah rabbi zidnee ilma"

2 benda adik akan minta selalu

apa nak citer ekkk... big boss dah kasi dateline...errr kira deadline laaa... jadi sedang bekerja keras untuk menyiapkan semua kerja2 sebelum pulang ke tanah air ku yang tercinta...for good... itu la kata-kata azimat yang tersemat di dada den buat masa ni.

ok....nie kisah mengenai adik....hmmm...tiap-tiap hari, dan hampir sepanjang masa, kira kekerapan tinggi juga la, dia akan mintak..........

tu kat mulut dia tu......

adoiii...susah betul nak pisahkan... mak suh letak benda pahit...tapi tak tau nak letak ape? any suggestion??

dan....adik kalau makan...nasi kosong sahaja....susah betul nak letak kuah ke, lauk ke. kalau letak lauk, kena pastikan plain, kosong, takde warna-warna. lepas tu jgn campur dengan nasi. kalau tak bagi aje lauk, baru dia makan.

tapi minum susu sangat laa kerap...tu yg badan dia sedap sikit tu...kira adik nie cerewet sikit bab makan, tapi ok laaa... nasik mmg kena masak tiap2 hari
ok laaa... lain kali cerita lagi

happy weekend you all...

yours truly,

10-minute post: "Apa adik cakap" Pt.3

The winter got me again, stuffy nose, chesty cough, nose bleed, sume complete in one package. I know I know...you will probably suggest that I should lie down and rest. I wish I could, but too many things to do. What I can do is to turn in early, itupun pukul 11 malam. And try to avoid taking medicine. Ubat kat sini sume tak jalan, errrr...ok la..tapi lambat. So everytime we went home we bought bundle of cold n flu medicine. Tapi ngantuk maa... so...I only took those before going to bed at night. yes...another excuse kan...

Anyway I just swallowed 10 ml of cough syrup, after a week of coughing and just relied on my good 'nelayan' friend and honey, rasa ada bengkak sikit kat leher, and coughing out thick phlegm (padan muka), baru la terhegeh2 suruh atang belikan ubat. hahhahahah....owwwhh dah seminggu tak minum kupi, but since I am having a bad cough, I didn't missed it. Owwwhhh batuk...pergi la jauh2....

ooohhh I think the cough medicine is taking control of my brain and nerve, getting dizzy and sleepy.....

before I dozed off in front of the machine, I would like to share adik's vocabulary (and the last I have on the list, been selfish to not notice adik's new word...aiyah....)

nak ways = nak tulis
wiwi = TV
tagen = vitagen
sah sah = basah
sik sik = nasi
ikan = baik daging ke, ayam ke, ikan ke semua dia panggil ikan
nyemen = nak main
nyengkot = nak ikut
dinggam = playground
wuwie = movie


and.........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Kids at 17th Miles Rock dinggam.

yours truly,
 

Kite gi dinggum

Diggum is adik's jargon when she is referring to playground. Don't ask me how on earth she came up with that word, because neither I nor atang knows how.

Today, I don't have anything to ramble, just wanna post some of many pictures taken from the day out at Portside Wharf. Of all playgrounds we have been to, this is the best so far. The amenities, kids attractions are excellent, I especially like the breeze, and the view. Both yaya and adik love the place, maybe we will come again. OK enough say, enjoy the pictures.

 

A pose before leaving the apartment.

Yaya's favorite activity. These pictures were taken before she started to freak out of not able to climb further and the idea of jumping down scared her. She started crying for babah, but babah was looking after adik at the sandpit. End up I had to drag, well literally pull her down, eventhough she resisted, and later merajuk. hehe

Adik enjoys the sand.

Siap baring atas pasir...punye la suke dapat main pasir.

Main frisbee pulak, while adik can't still leave her sandpit

Going home, but first we need to wash our legs and hands.

Adik said bye-bye to the playground, "Bye-bye dinggum". She will always bid farewell to any dinggum before leaving. Sentimental betul budak kecik nih...

yours truly,

a Rambling on a Gloomy day...

Mendung lagi today... with occasional rain.... don't know if I will miss this weather when I am back at home in Malaysia. owwwhhh home sweet home....

Today I brought adik to the office. It was a short visit. I need to pick up some documents from the boss and mail them by today. I need to do many things within an hour while atang was running an errand. So I told adik, "duduk diam-diam tau, mama work". And she just nodded her head. It was pretty quiet in the office, of late this is a normal sight. Most of the students residing near my workstation are busy completing their thesis this year. So less distraction is much appreciated. ahahahha... although the surrounding in the office is getting more peaceful, but I still can't work at my workstation, unless I have my ears plugged...ahahah..with earphones of coz. Owhhh suddenly the scene from "Bujang Lapok" came to my mind. I am referring to the scene when the three lapoks were trying hard to memorise their script for the following day audition. And the surrounding, the commotion from the neighbours, were soo distracting. So they plugged their ears with cotton balls. ahahahha...I was smilling while typing this. Takkan nak sumbat telinga ngan cotton balls kat ofis ye tak.

OK... dah jauh simpang nih...where was I. Ok...so adik came to the office. And I told her to be discrete so not to disturbed other research students. And I was busy printing, copying, etc. When adik is making a lot of noise, I told her to keep her voice down, because she kept saying in her loud voice," Mama...ngok nih...(mama tengok nih)..", "Mama, adik work" (while tapping on the keybord)... and whenever I said to adik..."dik...pelan sikit..", she replied, " Noooo...adik work"....ahahhahahah... tapi tu je laa... until she was braved enough to walk away from my workstation and walking to my colleagues'...ahahahhaha... then she ran to the printing room, stomping her feet walking back to my workstation, and ran to my colleagues...and talking to them...and...OK, she was getting restless...

Luckily I managed to get everything done before she became more restless.



Adik...sitting at one of my colleague's workstation.

OK...Now we are back at home. Adik is watching "pen bob" (spongebob) and trying to sleep, it is almost her sleeping time. Den baru nak start keje... Today I have writing to do....loads of writing... yakin boleh :D

Enjoy your weekend ya.

10-minute post: "Apa adik cakap" Pt 2. Adik's movie/TV selection

Our weekend was busy with the medical checkup and cleaning. Alhamdullillah, the checkup took just an hour and 30 minutes. Then off we went to buy some stuff for friends back home and groceries shopping. And we went through Clem Jones Tunnel, while it still free hehehe... starting 6th April there will be a toll charge of $4. Ala...macam SMART tunnel gak. So, when we went through it, I felt very proud because we have kinda same tunnel in Malaysia. By noon the kids and mom were already tired. Though now it's autumn, we still experience hot weather during the day (on fine day). We had lunch at McD so that the kids can have some fun at the playground.

OK, a quick post this morning, this is the continuation of "apa adik cakap". When I am working from home, adik will spend her time watching movies or her favourite TV programmes. After sending yaya to school, I will ask adik what movie she wants to watch, and she will say like this:

"uuuu bat (singing to the opening song)" = Bratz the movie

"ngok mut laaa" = Antz bully

"pin pin" = Upin & Ipin

"bean" = Mr bean (on holiday)

"pee po pee po" = Cat in the hat or Up!

"mouse" = Mickey Mouse club house

hahahahha... only adik knows why she said it like that.

yours truly,

10-minute post: "Apa adik cakap"

I know I have a very tight schedule, but I need to write something, and at the same time to have a 10 minutes break between readings.

So here is a quick, 10-minutes story.

Of late, both atang and I keep track of adik's jargon....ahahaha... I mean, words that adik used when she wants something. Here are some:

nyanyak = tak nak (don't want)

boh skit = bubuh sikit (just a little) - and she actually immitates abah when she said this word

air song = air kosong (plain water)

penbot = spongebob - we kinda took a longer time to understand what she said, until she showed us the DVD

pin pin = upin ipin - and this one she said almost every hour, everyday

OK ... my 10 minutes is almost up...till later... enjoy your weekend friends.

p.s. dah lame tak post gambar makanan, my used-to-be dedicated digital camera mogok laaa...lens error....aduhaiiiiii ....

yours truly,

Who says writing is easy....

Alhamdulllilah... I have completed chapter 1 and emailed it to both sifoos. I thought I could finish it in 3 days, but I took 5 working days, about 40 minutes in total to complete it. But before I send it to sifoos, I did final review, and am satisfied with the outcome. But I am expecting a little more room for improvement, coz I felt my words were not smooth enough. But I think, I have tell the story more clearly. Anyway, I can now say, I have one completed chapter, and I can move on to the next 9 chapters (aiyah.... lets ignore the number). My target is to have a complete chapter (by complete I mean, the content, the story line is there, but maybe need more editing work to have a clean and smooth chapters) in two weeks. Yet I know, the LR chapter will need at least a month to do it. The date line is the first week of August. That is to come out with a complete draft, free from spelling and grammatical error. I sure need a proof reader to read it before I can hand over the complete draft to my sifoos for final review. Any volunteer? :D

Academic writing is not an easy task for me. Atang asked me why I spent a lot of time writing a paragraph, for I can write a post in no time for this blog. I said academic writing is not the same as creative writing. When I write this blog, it came straight from my heart. I just spilled out what I have on my mind, often I don't need fact to support my argument. And whatever I write today, it doesn't has to be valid, and may not apply for tomorrow.

On the other hand, in academic writing, you are writing a story that will contributes to the knowledge for the benefit of the people, nation, on the phenomenon you are researching. So you need to have the fact right. And you need to tell it in a language that anyone who have no knowledge about your research can understand. And you need to tell a convincing story. And you also need to relate your research with past researches. Senang citer, bukan suke-suke tulis la, for your own excitement and satisfaction.

Ahh sudah, dah mula bebel budak fazid nie. Don't get me wrong, I love writing. I think it is in my blood. But sometimes I can easily feel frustrated and demotivated when I am stuck at one sentence...yup...at one sentence. Last-last bangun dari kerusi, and carik yaya n adik. Phewwww... am so glad the kids are here. They are the one who keep reminding me the reason that I am here.

OK, tukar channel. I have a story to tell. Of late we noticed something about adik. Whenever we called home to talk with mak and abah, adik will be restless after talking to them. Especially after talking to her atok. She will has difficulty to fall asleep. Often woke up after a few minutes of dozing off. Many times, after she fell asleep, she will woke up and screaming for me. She will screamed at the top of her lung, and we didn't know what's troubling her. This has caused anxiety for both me and atang whenever adik falls asleep at night. Lately, I put adik to sleep in front of the TV, most of the time with Upin Ipin's vids running. Sometimes this works, other time she will demand this particular video I took of the kids back home in Malaysia. My conclusion is, she misses Malaysia a lot, and more of her atok. For a solution, atang suggested we shall not call home at night, a day time is preferable. We will see whether this solution will work. Kesian adik....

OK laaa...dah lama sangat nih... I should concentrating on my next task. Tomorrow I have a meething with the sifoos, to discuss my chapter 1. Suddenly I feel sooo nervous....

I end this post with some pictures of my two little princesses that we took at Southbank Parkland last Saturday. Masih lagi summer, so bagi chance diorang berendam puas-puas sebelum sejuk datang....

yours truly,

Turun naik, pusing pusing, kuar masuk...dan dia menangis di kerusi itu

Salam kengkawan n friends,

Apa daaa tajuk macam tu....heheehe.... ahahhaha sebenarnya itu la keadaan den 3-4 hari nie. Have started my data collection work on Monday. This week, I spent four days meeting with the IS users at Wisma Negeri, N9. Den turun naik tangga, masuk celah situ, celah sini, redah ofis orang...wakakkakaka kuar masuk pintu dan lif. Sampai pak guard kat main entrance tu tanye, nie dah baper kali nie. Today is the last day. Itupun ada gak yg belum serah lagi, tunggu diorang call dulu la baru gi ambil. Dah naik segan pulak den kuar masuk wisma tu. Cam keje kat situ la pulak. Lepas nie turun Melaka dan JB pulak.

Paneh betul skrang nie ya. Dok terbayang sirap air batu jek. Tapi kalau summer kat Brisbane tu, perrrghhhh tak usah citer laaaa....Rasa nak duduk bawah shower aje. Patut la dulu kengkawan selalu joke, tido malam rasa nak tido dlm bath tub aje. Kami dah 2 tahun rasa summer kat sana, mmg Malaysia kalah laa. Cuma Malaysia nie bila panas, kite berpeluhkan, tu yg jadi tak selesa tu. Apa-apa pun, Malaysia tetap best...tetiba... :p owwwwhhhh mana nak carik sirap air batu nie......

Saje je nak meriahkan rumah siber den nie. Eh haritu den bawak yaya gi dentist. Gigi atas pulak yg berlapis. Haritu dah cabut dua gigi yg bawah kan. Haa yg nie belah atas pulak. Dan ada lagi dua kat belah bawah dah berlapis gak....adehhhh.... Jadi kisahnye, suatu hari tu, den pun bawak la si yaya nie gi dentist. Sebelum tu kawan tu dah pesan, dia taknak cabut 2 gigi, "satu aje ma..ok...satu aje...". Pengalaman lepas masih menghantui dia....ahahhahah... Yg dulu tu, kawan tu steady la kan, sebab dia tak tau apa yg akan berlaku. So this time, she knew what is going to happen, jadi bila masuk aje klinik gigi tu, muke kawan tu dah berubah. Tapi yaya masih lagi being brave la.

Akak kat kaunter pendaftaran tu pun suh la masuk bilik no 3. Dan kami pun jalan la terkedek-kedek ke bilik no 3 tu. Masuk aje dalam, cerita itu ini ngan doktor, doktor pun suh la yaya duduk kat kerusi rawatan tu. Masa tu tengok muka yaya dah cuak dah. Doktor suh bukak mulut, dia bukak. Doktor pun citer la apa dia nak buat. Kawan senyap aje. "Ok puan, nak cabut yg bawah ke atas?" "Yang atas la doktor, ada satu tu dah longgar." "OK, tapi kena cabut dua-dua ye. Nanti lagi 3 4 hari puan datang lagi kite cabut yang bawah pulak". Tu dia, mata yaya dah buntang pandang lampu kat atas kepala dia tu.

Doktor pun mula la buat persediaan. Saat nak inject jek, yaya cakap, "mama, yaya tak nak cabut 2." "OK, satu aje." Terpaksa den menipu kawan tu aritu. "OK adik, tarik nafas kat hidung ye, bismillah...." Doktor pun tekan la picagari tu, sekali kawan menjerit, "aaaahhhhhh...sakitttt....." dan terus menangis. Makin lama makin kuat, dan terus melalak kat atas kerusi rawat tu. Puas doktor, dan pembantunya pujuk. Den lagi laaa...tak gheti memujuk. So akhirnya, terpaksa la batalkan aje rancangan nak merongakkan 2 gigi yaya tu. Kawan tu tak nak dah, macam dah takde peluang aje nampaknye. Adehhh...susah hati gak nie. Kat bawah tu 2 batang menanti, atas 2. Kalau cabut kat Brisbane, ratus ratus kena nie. Alamatnye kena la standby playar, cabut gigi yaya nanti. wahahhahahaha.....

On the way back to teratak ayahbonda, kena bebel la si yaya tu. Muka dia pun dah bersalah. Tak banyak pun den kasi, sikit jek. Dia pun dah besar, pandai pikir sendiri. But deep down I know she feels guilty. Tapi den dah kasi umpan Slurpee siap-siap dah, sian tengok bibir dia swollen sebab ubat tu kan. Tapi yela, kite dulu pun takut gak bila kena jumpe doktor gigi. Ntah apa stigma orang bagi kat doktor gigi nie, dengar aje doktor gigi, mesti naik bulu roma. Sampai skrang, kalau dah sakit sangat baru den carik doktor gigi. OK sambung citer yaya, dengan rasa bersalahnya, kawan tu pun dok la goyangkan gigi dia yang sebutir memang dah goyang tu. Dari petang, sampai ke malam. Tiba-tiba.....

"Mama....dah kuar dah mama" yaya datang berlari ke arah den yang sedang follow citer kengkawan kat fesbuk, sambil memegang sebatang gigi kat tangan kiri. Kawan pun nganga la tunjuk kat den tempat kejadian tu..ahahhahahah... mulut kawan tu pun penuh ngan yong tau foo den beli kat pasar malam ampangan nie haa.... "haaaa....bagus2.....nanti kakak goyang-goyang yang lain jugak ye"....wakakkakakakaka.....




Si adik pun sibuk nak nganga mulut. Tapi kena bawak jumpe doktor gigi gak nie, sebab yang berlapis kat bawah tu mmg takde tanda-tanda akan longgar nih.....adehhh....camne nak pujuk ye kengkawan.....

yours truly,

Penawar rindu...

Almost 6 months since we last saw our two little angels. And it has been awhile since I last wrote about our two little angels. Not that I don't have anything to write about them, in fact, I have plenty. I often on the verge of tears whenever I write about them, even speak about them. So I have been avoiding to talk about them. But that was a long time ago, well not that long actually. A couple months back, I have accepted the situation. The most important thing is, they are happy living with their Atok and Wan back home. Listening to them on the phone, talking to yaya on the phone twice a week, keep me going, and help me to stay strong.

However...... watching them growing up is a wish that I know can't be fulfilled at this time of being. Dapat tengok gambar diorang pun jadi laaaa.... So yesterday my SIL sent the latest pictures of our two little angels. I am so happy.... can't explain exactly how I feel. Rasa macam legaaaaa sangat...ahahhahahaha....dapat la lepas rindu kami kat sini.....

My sister-in-law with our two little angels. Thank you very much Adik (my SIL's nickname).

Tak sabarnye...lagi sebulan

"Don't worry, I will look after her"

An extraordinary thing happened on the afternoon, the day that I was supposed to leave Malaysia. It was an unforgetable incident and was so touch and stunned by it. Look at the photo below.



Never during our stay in Malaysia, Lara slept near adik, or any of us. But only that day she did it.



As if she was telling me, "No worries Master, I will look after adik, while you are away".
