Family Potrait

"Who are they, Kakak?" asked Mommie. 

"Arianna's family. Arianna, Mommie, frog (errrr... I have no idea that the frog is a part of my family, never had one before), Daddy and Adik.." said Arianna.

14 & Still Counting!

We are the old fart but we still love each other very-very much! Hahahaha.. It's the 14 again. Not our wedding anniversary but our "couple anniversary". 14 years knowing my man. He is still the same man. Nothing change except the belly size.

Happy 14th Anniversary Baby...

Soon To Be Mrs Faisal

My BFF aka partner in crime aka sister aka Marshella Co Founder get engaged last Sunday. All of us were very busy with her preparation since last month and become more tied up few days before the engagement. Dude, Asam is the most fussiest women, I ever known. She is damn lucky that she carried the BFF title. I DO NOT ENTERTAIN people like I did with her, not even my closes relative.

From curtains to menu all was discussed via group and personal Whatsapp and FB chat. Thanks to the technology.

From having no jengkol then last min approve the yummy jengkol, threading, hair do, mani pedi, collect the cakes and malay kuihs, proof read the script for spokesperson (yup, she has the script ready and we laughed her a lot for that, even my dad and Uncle Anas find it amusing), arranging her room, etc.. I do it wholeheartedly because Asam is a little sister that I never had and it's fun to have this event handle by ourselves.

Our (Nadia and myself) make up was done by Pippa. We look so beautiful (perasan a bit) even Uncle Anas wanted to introduce me to someone. I laughed and told him that I'm a mother of two and happily married to my husband (happen to seat next to his table). Lol!

Anyway the event went well and everybody are so happy with the arrangement.

All start well end well.

Asam now known as Mrs Faisal (soon to be).

Best wishes and good luck my BFF!Cheers to forever..May Allah grant both of you with happiness.

Hula Girl

So my daughter had her first concert on 22 November 2012 at Royal Selangor Golf Club. Since I'm working in Miri, I have to take leave for a day just to attend and show my undivided support. 

The concert was on THURSDAY at 6.30PM! Well if you are KLites, you know what I'm talking about. Bloody traffic are madness!

When I was informed by Kak Ana (my helper), I asked her 3 times on the concert date, time and venue. I am confident that she must gave me the wrong info. It turn out that the concert is on weekday. Oh yes, one more thing, I get to know about the concert 1 week before the actual date.

I am so lucky my sister and husband helped me to sorted the costume. She has to get a full hula girl costume (that reminds me of my younger time, I did have the same costume theme when I'm 6 years old). Anyway... I definitely wont have the time to buy. I just fly back to KL for the concert and leave to Miri the next morning (which I missed the morning flight, bugger!).

Back to the concert.... We reached there at 6.20pm with my son, nephew and niece tag along. Men, my nephew and niece really can make me get a migraine. Running in the refreshment area where they can easily trample to the glasses or hot water. Pffffttt..

Luckily my sister and Pippa came on time and I basically just concentrate to the concert. Mind you, I am a short temper person that is one of the reason why my mom against the idea of me bringing both kids to the concert. Lesson learnt, BIG TIME.

Ok back to the concert. Arianna was looking around for her parents (we have to hide earlier because she can cry and be passive if she see us). Mommie being Mommie, I waved my hand to her excitedly despite all the talks that "Daddy you don't wave at her or she will never dance".

SHE DID CRIED AND RAN TO US! *claps my hands on my forehead few times*

My husband was really pissed at me. I can tell by the look. Hehe..

With Adik on my right side, I ushered Arianna back to the stage and she positively climb up and joined back her group. Errrrr only for awhile then she was busy admiring the microphone (she like singing so much!).

I told my husband that it is a great success to have her join the group and be on stage with the costume because I know she HATES to wore the fringe thingy and watched by hundreds eyes. I will share the video on my next post.

Kakak.... Mommie, Daddy and Adik so proud of you! Next year we try to improve ok? XOXO

My Boy Turns Two!

I am so blessed to have a pair (first born is Arianna Ayesha), Aariz Jihadi is my second child. Since I am busy with my kids during my long leave, I don't get a chance to buy the presents yet. Usually I will buy 2 present. 1 for Arianna and 1 for Aariz. This is to avoid problem in the future. Parents with two or more kids definitely understand what I'm talking about. Mayhem babe!

Planning to get the present this Saturday before leaving.

Adik, 

I held you in my arms when I saw you first,
The first time ever I felt my emotions burst.
My heart filled up when I saw your serene face,
I don’t think I can ever get over that phase.
Happy Birthday My Love,
My life and everything above.

Love, Mommie.... 

Kids New Ride

We have 2 strollers for both kids, Graco and Baby Jogger. Last night, I asked my husband to search for twin stroller as I need to bring Aariz whenever I fetch Arianna from her Montessori that not far from our place.

 Aariz love and enjoy this new ride, meanwhile Arianna refuse to be seated in the new stroller. Hmmmm..

Hello everybody! 

Bon Voyage Kak Ana..

Happy 15th Birthday Abang Cak!

15 years back, my sister gave birth to her bundle of joy, Hatta Isyraq Amir. Since he is the only baby in the family, everyone shower him with loves. He is the new 'It Thing". At that upon of time (before his arrival) I was the smallest and mengada in the family. Suddenly all the attention change when my nephew was born. 

Having said that, I never felt jealous because I love him too.

I still remember what my sister and BIL have been through during the bad recession back in 1997.

As his Aunt, I didn't mind when I have to help and looked after Icak especially when their helper quit. Icak at that time was 6 months old and I just 16. At that age, I willing to go home early from school just to baby sit him. We are so close and I bring him anywhere I go even to KLCC (trust me, it's never easy to convinced my sister to let her son going out with us, the teenagers). Icak is the only boy in the group and our smallest member.

Now my nephew already a big boy.

Time flies so fast...

Abang Cak, Ocu just want to wish you a Happy Birthday. Sorry for not being able to celebrate your birthday this year, but Insyallah Ocu will buy you lunch or dinner or movie when I'm back from Miri okay.. 

Ocu love you so much.

Sad Morning

My baby girl not feeling well. No school for her since yesterday. Running nose, slight fever and this morning she vomited. I am so WORRIED! Just wish I have Doremon pocket so I can go home in a blink..

Be strong baby girl. Mommie always pray for you, Adik and Daddy.. Get well soon ya....

*sad mode*

My Weekend With Loves

Arianna Is Turning Four!

Princess can't stand the crowd and noise

Cousins and Asam siang the Midin

Us at Delicious

Arianna with her cousins

Just came back from KL, for my daughter birthday and prepared all the goodies bags and presents for her and adik + party at school. Tired but worth it. 

I arrived home around 12 midnight. Kissed Arianna and Aariz even they sound asleep. Suddenly my son wide awake and when he saw me, he cried for an hour! He also refused to drink the milk. He is actually telling me that he is merajuk because I'm not there for a month. Mommie have too Adik...  

My schedule during the short trip is very pack! 

On Saturday I picked up my kids presents (online shopping is fun!), buy party packs for Arianna's school, tapaw lunch with hubby at Saba Setiawangsa, cooked for my family and friends,  lepak at my sister place, go home than lepak at my mom place, cooked dinner for my Mak Lang and family (you can see above picture, my cousins and Asam "siang" the Midin vege that I bought from Miri). Out for a while with Asam and my cousins for our "SPECIAL MISSION" at Ampang Point and head back to my house.

Sunday was super crazy. Go to wet market with my mom, Kak Ana and kids. This is my standard errands whenever I'm in KL. Bought chickens, fishes, veges for 2 weeks supplies. Then dropped my mom at her house, someone from Cake Frosting send the birthday cake for the school party, bersiap for our breakfast at Danielle's cafe, however they are closed on Sunday so my husband suggest us to go to Delicious at Dua Residence. Great idea I love the food and ambiance. Not many people during the brunch (we arrived arround 11.20am). We go with 1 car.  I left mine at my mom house. My dad, mom, nephew, niece, my husband, Arianna and myself. I didn't bring Aariz because it was his sleeping time. 

After the brunch, my dad dropped us off at our car and we straight send Arianna home so we could buy groceries for our house and then continue hunting few items for Arianna'a party packs. Go home, I straight prepared the finger foods for my family as we are going to have small yet intimate birthday celebration for Arianna and last minute get a cake for her. Sorry darling, Mommie lupa! With all my family and friends gathered at my house, some of us continue the celebration at my house pool. Kids just love the new pool slide! My boy cried when Kak Ana get him out from the water. Such a drama boy.

Monday morning was another hectic day. Prepared Arianna to school, get all the party packs (70 bags and it's heavy because I put the air kotak also), get the 1.5kg cakes down, finger foods, run to the bank for a while to cash my cheques, dropped by to my mom's house to salam with my parents, head back home to fetch Kak Ana and Aariz and straight to Arianna's school. The kids are waiting for us! We are 5 minutes late! Sorry! Everything went well except my daughter as usual screamed whenever someone sing the birthday song. To show the protest she then hid herself under the table.. The teacher had to removed the bench and table just to get her out.. Hmmmm..

After 15 minutes I have to excused myself as I need to catch my flight. Had to stop at few petrol stations and shops to get Gardenia bread (I'm talking about 50 over pieces) to bring back as souvenir for my team and hotel staffs.

Anyway, all went well.. Alhamdulillah. 

Arianna, when you grow up and read Mommie's blog, Mommie just want to tell you how much Mommie love you, Adik and Daddy. Mommie willing to do anything for all of you... 

Happy Birthday again Princess... See you all in October!

Get Well Soon Sista!

I received sms from my sister last night to informed me that she were admitted due to bronchitis. My sister is having bad cough since last month.

Since she is a "Supermak", she took the medicine once a day. Yelah the ubat can make her drowsy so difficultlah to drive around to fetch her child or to the office.

Long, I hope you drink plenty of water. Selawat and doa before you drink since the molecule can change the shape to great crystal and cure your disease.*I'm not sure either but why don't you just follow*

Have a good rest, don't stress yourself on office matter (your company won't close if you are not there for few days).

and

DON'T RUN FROM THE HOSPITAL!

Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Batin Long!

Miri Day 15

I just want to share that I really miss my children and home... I barely eat (ok, itu tipu), I only spend time at my room. If management allow me to room service, then no one will see my face anywhere in the hotel. Arianna, Aariz and Sayang, Mommie miss you all so badly.... 16 more days to go before I can fly back for my daughter birthday.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Us during Aariz's aqiqah.

Happy birthday to my beloved Mama! I wish that all your dreams and wishes come true. I also hope that the rest of your long life is happy and healthy. Enjoy your day today to the fullest! I will bring you out when I came back from Miri.

I love you so much Mom. XXX

Raja Bujang

We knew since young about our royal ancestor and why we leave the title behind. I never take it seriously until this week when my family had a grand meeting with the rest of our big family. It's just not a big deal to us before.

I just Skyped with my sister and jokingly mentioned that she should call me YM Raja Hashella from today onward and I want to make it official with all my documents and ID just to pissed her off.

I never knew she was so stunned with my statement because I can hear the *cricket sound* for 7mins. Hehehe.. It's very funny when I get her off guard. Yes, we are sister like that.

My ancestor is Raja Bujang. He came here with Raja Melewar (the first Yang DiPertua Negeri Sembilan). He leave the title behind as the situation doesn't permit him to reveal his background. The rest is history....

My Version Of Hari Raya..

Raya is just around the corner and I still haven't had a chance to buy something for my home. New curtains, bed sheet, colourful cushion cover for my living room, flowers, vase, and the listing never seems to end. *sigh*

I am rushing to get all the errands done. Luckily I've bought my kids + hubby shoes and baju kurung for Arianna and myself last Sunday. Oh ya, for those who didn't read my FB and Twitter update - I'll be leaving on 4th raya to MIRI! Duty call. I never leave my kids behind but I believe they will be ok. Mommie will try to come back every week (if possible).

Since I will not going to join my family getaway, I am planning to have our own version in one of the hotels in KL and bring them to Aquaria. Just to make my kids happy. *another sigh* Talk later lah.

Abang Adik In ICU

Abang Adik was admitted on Tuesday night as he has difficulty to breath even after taking 1 and half neubulizer in the clinic. After an hour, he cried as he felt heavy in his chest and again can't breath. My sister immediately rushed him to Pantai hospital.

What make me upset was, my sister had informed his teacher via sms (his insist to go to school on Tuesday even he is not well) that to call her if Abang Adik condition is getting worst. She never do that and to make thing worst he was FORCED to do Senaman 1Malaysia even my nephew has informed the teacher that he is not well. Can you imagine, a teacher behave that way? *I AM SO MAD*

When my dad fetch him, he was weak, body slump, can't walk, let alone carried his school bag but his friend accompany him to wait for my dad. Hey, both of this children is 8 years old! They have more sense than the bloody teacher!

Oh, I got to know about my nephew condition from Asam (she is working with my sister) on Wednesday morning. Immediately I called my sister to get the whole story. I can't work as my mind was with my nephew. I am very close with both nephew as I used to take care of them when they are babies. I then Skype my boss to get permission to leave early but as usual I only leave the office by 5.30 when I know my team in the "safe zone" and of course I have to follow ICU visit schedule. I am so blessed that one of my staff send me to the hospital and she dropped me in pasar malam as I wanted to buy some food for him and my sister. Sate, pita kebab, rojak buah, tau foo fa and colour books for my child.

When I arrived, he still with the oxygen support and have all the wires with him and very quiet. I really sad as he is an active child. Luckily he have the appetite to eat the chicken sate. He was bored as no tv in ICU. I open my daughter cartoons file in my laptop (Little Einstein) and he is so happy.

Later I told my sister I want to go to school and give my piece of mind to the teachers and principal so it wont happen again. By the way this is not the first time things like this happen to my nephew. Plus with the new incident this is the THIRD that my nephew get admitted as the teachers failed to inform us on his condition even they has been reminded by my family members.

Get well soon Abang Adik! Ocu will visit you again this evening.
