*3Some*

I remember those were the days I have nothing to worry much. Parents adalah tak kisah of my whereabouts, tiba2 nak pegi Melaka, tiba2 Sabah, tiba2 Singapore. Wah seronoknya.

Going to Bangsar during the weekends was easy and I can just go with my Kelisa then. Turun-naik butik, sarung-test baju yg confirm muat and I’ll look cute in it. (Ah Ah Ah). Another activity at Bangsar was makan Nasi Bukhara @Syed. It was (and maybe still is) my comfort food when disaster happens. Sleep nights at Hillpark pon amat selalu, sampai satu mase tu aku dapat gatal2 akibat kucing kurap kat umah Sheyna mase tuh. Sheyna, ko kene lagi terok siap pegi klinik specialist kat Jln TAR, ingat tak? haha

Ape lagi ek? Oh ya. Men. Let’s just keep those memories at bay and we’ll laugh about it later when we have our get-together. Not virtually please.

Oh lagi satu - Hard Rock Cafe. Damnit where the heck did I put those pictures!!!

It was suppose to be an entry with pictures and short phrases. But I’m a bit occupied now to find old pictures of Us, I don’t think I have any in this laptop with possessed pointer (pointer aku gerak tiba2 suka hati dia) and slow processor.

I’m occupied now with some problems at work; Hussen still at workshop; adapting to a new house and adapting to a new lifestyle of having a new house. It’s been overwhelming.

Sheyna kata nk mai tolong weekend ni for Majlis Yassin. And Hasna tanya tadi ‘Nak aku bawak Hanif jalan2? weekend ni’.

So sweet of you(s) to offer help. Thanks for being my friend. Klau korg nk tau, dlm dunia ni selain laki aku korgje org yg aku boleh nk mintak tlg tanpa pk byk2 kali. Is that bad news to you? haha. Please don’t think that way, it’s actually because Kita Kawan Baik.

*Aku rase entry aku motifless. I was actually trying my best not to write a lengthy one, not because aku rasa rugi buang masa type pjg2, tapi nnt entry ni jadi emo selaras ngan emo aku kat mcm2 kesibukan keduniaan aku nih.

I’m off to Lumut tomorrow for Team Building with the rest of Technologies. I need to be at the office tmrw morning at 730am to catch the bus.

It will be my first time sleeping without Hanif di bwh ketiak.

And I’m still at office now finishing up work. It’s 8pm btw.

I hope to have a splendid time tomorrow at Lumut and not sulk to the fact that I sucked at work and that I miss my boys at home very much.

Hanif (and Ibu) is now bombarded by the question “Dah pandai meniarap sendri tak?”

Well the answer is No. I’ve only seen him done that once when he’s exactly 3 months old and that’s about it. Sekali ja.

Instead of turning himself from Terlentang position to Meniarap position on his own, he likes to make a 360deg turn. And by that I meant at start he’s facing to the North, nnt lagi 5 minit kite nmpk die tgh ngadap Selatan. And later pusing balik ke Utara. Mcm kipas helikopter.

He also likes to do this.

Anyone heard of an old saying that when your little baby likes to chew his toes, like above, he’ll become a Big Brother soon.

Tolong la cakap itu hanyalah kata-kata khurafat.

Nizam claimed that he’s Malay. Meaning haram langsung takde campuran mana2 suku sakat dari Indonesia, Thailand ka Gurkha ka. Tapi aku agak speku sbb after 1 year plus as his wife and living together with his family, I heard them use words that I’ve never heard before. Am I too Philippino Pangako Sayok or he’s not even so Malay as he claimed he is???

So here’s a quiz of all the weird words he uses that I managed to think of.

berselelet
auta
ngences
berdembai-dembai
terheseh-heseh
suman
kebelai
balik andau
mendadey
santak

Sila berikan makna perkataan2 di atas. Sape jawab plg tepat dan plg banyak, ada hadiah menanti anda. Wow.

*’Wow’ pon selalu digunakan

*Hanif is 6.3kg at 5 months old. Kecilkan? tsk. Oh pls ignore the date.

Hasna made my day by asking me out today. After a few hours of continous yelling yelping whining crying by little Hanif, I really need to go out. Kami pegi Petaling Street utk beli bunga. Hasna terkasima tgk bunge byk2. Malam ni die nk pegi lagi tunggu beratur tepi lori bunga yang mai fresh dari tanah tinggi. Besides the fresh flowers, layan jugak fresh gossip. Kalau aku type nama mamat nk kawen tu kat sini, ade org akan google ke? Euchop la sapa lagi.

Lepas tu pi makan nasi beryani kak engkuzz yamyam sedap. With Hanif dukung at my left hand, kami mkn2 dgn happy.

*Hanif gembira di dalam kereta.

OK ptg2 sket am gonna pay a visit to no52. And buy formula, and a toy for little Hanif. And minyak piat.

..or is it too late for that? Anyhoo, here’s my list:

1. Stop eating processed meat. Sausages, burgers, fast foods, blerghh.
2. Eat less red meat and yolk. 3 servings per week is good enough for a start.
3. Eat more fruits.
4. Plant a tree. I will at my new house soon. Pokok cili padi dan pokok rempah ratus.
5. Learn how to paint, a room that is. Once masuk rumah n settled down, I’ll paint my wet kitchen first in Teal or Grapy Pink or any contra exciting colors since the rest of the house is in boring neutral cappucinos and pastels.
6. Learn how to sew curtains and cushion covers. OK yg ni aku rase dah bernanah telinga korg dgr, mungkin akan materialize bile dh ada sewing room sendri (and there’s a dedicated room for this already?? WOW)
7. Bwk Hanif swimming. He hates I mean HATES cold water, so I guess this one would be a slow progress unless theres a public jacuzzi anywhere.

Renovation for No.52 started yesteday. Here’s some pictures.

Tomorrow there’s a sale going on at favourite sofa place. My search for armchairs shall continue tomorrow.

Ibu and Hanif went out last weekend. Oh Seronoknyee!! Enjoy the pictures ok?!

We had the 3-set for two for three of us. Three = Ermie, Hasna, Intan. Hanif mungkin dpt 1/12 daripada total share sbb nenen while the Ibu is eating. Most memorable to me was the daging thingy yg Hasna ngap sorg2 tuh. And also the chocolate truffle (is that wat they call ‘em?).

Hasna & Hanif.

Ngaaaa.

Hanif & Ibu

Hanif, I love you :*

Hanif with Auntie Tan atau nama penuhnye Tan Siew Chin. In the car on the way to PJ.

We cafe-hopped. This time meeting a different circle of friends.

We met them!! Hannah & Owwek. Owwek 6mths (ke?) pregnant tp kaki maintan kecik. Jeles ok.

Owwek tak puas hati Hanif kecik. Dan pendiam.

Orang Labuan pon ada. Pojan at far right.

Layla at 3-mths. Hee. BJ & the family.

**

On a different note, Hanif wants to wish his future neighbour Irfan a VERY VERY Happy Birthday. Irfan is today 2 years old wow.

Eeee Happy Birthday Fanfan. Lagi 2 thn kite boleh pegi main kat playground sama2.

Hi Everyone,

I’m selling off some items on a negotiable price.

Fagor Double Bowl Sink with accesories - RM550

I love this sink so much but I need to sell it off because it can’t fit to my small tabletop tsk. If you try to find in the market, sinks with matt finish is slightly more expensive compare to the normal stainless steel because it doesn’t require you to wipe it off that often. And it comes with basket and chopping board.

Fagor Asian Hob - RM120

2 burners
Stainless steel

Erk sorry I forgot the details because I’ve bought it a year ago at Fagor’s warehouse sale. I’m selling it off because I’ve bought another hob that comes in a package of 3 (built-in oven + hob + hood). I’ll paste the picture later in the weekend as I keep the hob at my mother’s place. It’s not in Fagor’s website I think because stok dah lama kot sbb tu jual warehouse sale eh eh.

Both have not been used yet. Delivery to your place is negotiable. Contact me at ermiy_80@yahoo.com or YM me at the same ID.
