Aidlfitri 2010

Salam Aidilfitri to all.

It has been quite some time since my last update.... Hahaha ... some of my friends have started bugging me about the last post.... Ayam tu dah hangus dah..... So true ....

Anyway, it's Aidilfitri again. Didn't get to celebrate fully last year due to confinement. And now my little 'buah hati' turned 1 on 13th Sept 2010.

So many things happened for the past few months. The faculty shifted to BJ ("they" finally succeeded to shift us), the commuting, the never-ending MQA, the baby and HFMD, and now it's Raya time. Here's some photos taken during Raya, didn't get the chance to really click2.

My little "bujang" with his new attire.....

And this is daddy's girl .....

This little girl is a little bit too tired. Mana-mana pun dia boleh landing & tidur. Penat raya agaknya....

BBQ dinner

These dishes were requested by hubby but only managed to do it quite recently. He requested bbq chicken the conventional way (no microwave or oven baking....mind you) - charcoal fire. Actually it's not fire lah..... just the 'bara' .....

My job is only to marinate the chicken, he took care of the rest. Of course he had his fav helper to help ...... none other than Mr. Aiman. And I made this delicious (perasan) potato salad to complement the main dish. The meal was very satisfying. Oh btw ..... this was actually about 2 weeks ago .... don't have time to upload then.

And today, we had ikan bakar for lunch. Who else yg bakar, Mr. Hubby lah..... But forgot to snap photos of it because I'm busy preparing the other side dishes. And the ikan bakar also don't last long on the table ..... because there's a 'big cat' in the house (according to hubby .... referring to who else .... Mr. Aiman again ..... Aiman memang tak kisah).

Pusat Sains Negara

Brought Aiman to Pusat Sains Negara during the school holidays. He enjoyed being there. Wanted to try everything, but he loves the spaceship section most.

He's specially interested in anything which has a joystick / control on it.

At the entrance to PSN.

Busy manning the robotic arm to collect some wooden blocks, but didn't succeed.

He's been asking me to go there again. Haiyaa .... tak boring ke?

The latest addition ....

It's been some time since I last wrote in this blog. Been away from work for two months and been busy with work afterwards. As you can see, here's the latest addition to my family .... Daryn Arissa bt. Sahalan. Here's the baby a few hours after birth.

She looks more like her father ... don't know yet for sure, but that's what people say.

We call her Arissa, or Adik but Aiman calls her Baby. Everybody who knows Aiman asked about his reaction to the new baby. Well, I can say he accepted the fact that he's no longer the only child, but he seems okay about that. Thank God... Even Arina was fascinated by the baby ..... Wait till she becomes the little 'kakak'.

Arissa is now 3 months going on 4 months. She loves to smile and she loves to suck her little hands. 'Dia suka makan aiskrim' Aiman says.

Birthday celebration of 3 generations

The family decided to combine birthdays of 5 members from July to September since most of the birthdays will fall in Ramadhan. I ordered a set of cakes from my dear friend Shaz, you can visit her blog @ http://mamachaksrecipe.blogspot.com/.

And guess what, since 3/5 of those celebrated consists of the Geng bas sekolah, the theme has to be anything of their favs. To be fair, there were Transformers and Disney Princesses. The members whom we celebrated were my mom, my sister, Maisarah, Aiman & Damia. The kids love the cakes. Aiman doesn't want to cut the Bumblebee. Aiyooo ... mcmana nak mkn kek mcm ni? Takkan nak tengok aje kan.... The cakes were yummy .... choc cakes. And my sister ordered some cute chocs from her friend ....

Well ... kids being kids. Their fascination were only for a while. Then they were busy with their birthday gifts. They were very excited with all the goodies.... They were busy tearing the wrappers ... next time just wrap in paper lama ajelah.

After busy checking the gifts, they decided it's time for more fun. They jumped excitedly into the new pool. There were a lot of splashing & noise. Even the baby joined in. She's not afraid of the water at all. They stayed in the water until their hands & feets became wrinkled.

Finally we managed to drag everybody out of the pool. And here they are .... posing atas motor atok pulak.....

Kenduri

The previous weekend was full of 'kenduris'. It's a kind of practice in some places that people will offer 'kenduri' when Ramadhan is coming. It could be any kind of 'kenduri'; kenduri arwah, doa selamat or kenduri kahwin. We attended the kenduri 2 days in a row, which ended yesterday with a kenduri kahwin. All the foods were delicious but we can only eat that much. Besides, I've started to be a picky eater, trying to avoid all those yummy sambal udang & rendang daging. Don't know lah, just doesn't have the appetite for spicy foods for now.

My youngest sister came back bringing a big plastic pool. Aiman & his cousin Arina were very happy splashing around in the pool. No pics of that since I forgot to bring my camera. But those two kids were happy in the water, they don't want to come out. Wish the other two cousins were there to complete the rowdy bunch of 'Geng bas sekolah'.

Transformers

Well its a bit late but its about joining the latest craze of Transformers. My beloved son is already attracted to Transformers (or anything that can change from car to robot & vice versa) way long before the film was out.

He readily poses with the poster in front of TGV Bkt. Tinggi. Lucky he didn't beg me to pose with the thing in front of all Petronas stations. Kalau tak jenuh lah nak amik gambar. But one thing for sure, he's been pestering me regarding the figurines @ Petronas. "Ma, bila Optimus Prime nak sampai? Tanyalah org Petronas tu". Aiyoo ... sometimes headache. Try telling a 5 year old about dates. He thought every time we fill in the tank, we can buy the toys.

Well Aiman got his wish last night. He insisted that he want to ask the cashier himself. We went up to the counter & he stood there. The girl smiled & asked "Ya adik nak apa?". And the adik answered " Nak lori". He was so proud of himself, he told daddy about it. Well that wraps up his collection of the Petronas Transformers figurines. He insists that we either call him Bumblebee or Optimus Prime only. I called him Megatron one time. Scolded me, telling he's not Megatron. "Megatron tu org jahat. Babah tu Megatron". So now daddy is labeled as Megatron. Phew ... kids & their imagination...

Oh btw ... for those who are guessing did we watch the movie? No we did not. Just posing in front of the poster while we're @ Jusco BBT.
