Home

"..I'm going home..
Back to the place where I belong..
And where your love has always been enough for me..
I'm not running from..
No, I think you got me all wrong..
I don't regret this life I chose for me..
But these places and these faces are getting old..
So I'm going home.."

cpr

This is Mie-Meen's pressie for Kak Long's Yut Yut..




An OshKosh baby T-shirt that says..
"I'm not spoilt(much!)" hehe..
Am supposed to give Kak Long a baby sling actually, and no clothing coz the sling costs $$$.
But when I saw this cute tiny t-shirt, I can't resist.
Yut yut (stands for 'cute cute' folks) is due any day now...so exciting!
Am gonna miss her birth, exactly how I missed Dzhofier's birth 4 years ago.
Oh well, I'll pray for a safe delivery Kak Long, insyallah.. (^_^)

Watching Grey's Anatomy just now, there was one scene when Derrick was doing CPR to Meredith.
Somehow that scene triggered me bout someone..
someone who once told me he did CPR to this girl many years back.
He saved her, did CPR, and survived.
He even said that he still contacts her, and that she is Form 4 now.
I really wonder..
was he really sincere when telling me bout it..
or, was it just an act to impress? hmm..
somehow, I do feel he was sincere..
that he was proud to be able to save someone's life.
And he wanted to share that significant heroic moment with me.
Miss those times.. (-_-)


I also like the part when Izzy was telling the geng..
"I believe that believing that we will survive, will make us survive.."
very powerful words indeed..

*bang*

Shot..
wounded..
bleeding..
..God help..

vulnerable

Am loving 'Vulnerable' sang by Secondhand Serenade..



..Just because you were hurt doesn't mean you shouldn't bleed..
nice... (",)

hobbes + cool fool

This is my nephew..sleeping.
And next to him is his faithful tiger name "Hobbes".
They do almost everything together..
Sleep together, eat together, play together.
But not in the bathroom, Hobbes will get really wet.
Other than that, you will see Hobbes next to Dzhofier.


The other day, when I called Man.
I could hear Dzhofier " I want to talk to MieMeeN!"
So, I spoke to him..
"Hi Dzhofier..how are you?"
"Hi MieMeen!! I am good!"
"That's good. I bought you a birthday suprise!"
"What suprise MieMeeN?"
"Ooh, it's something special.. I can't tell you yet.."
(Bought him a Spiderman costume, siap ngan muscles lagi!)
Then suddenly, Dzhofier said in a high pitch voice..
"Hello MieMeeN.."
"Hello Dzhofier..why are you talking like that?"
Then, I could hear Man at the background
"That's Hobbes you're talking to Meen!"
Haha..
So I spoke to "Hobbes" for a bit, just before my credit ran out.
It's fun talking to tigers..roar..!~

I was listening to KRU's 2nd album, reKRUed..
And there is this song called "Terima Kasih".
And, one of the verses had this rap-ala-jamaican, that goes like this:-


My word to all the nation
To all the people no matter what they say
We don't care what they say
Criticise...well thats okay...
I just think about this phrase...It will make my day
If one person says you are a fool
And a thousand people says you're cool
Would you listen to that thousand people said
Or to that one little crazy fool


I find it cute..and totally true!
Old school la KRU nih..rox!

retail & cooking therapy..

A great day today..
Retail therapy + cooking therapy helps!
Nothing beats shopping for your loved ones, hanging out + cooking for my lovely friends..

Glad they loved it..a great satisfaction to self.. (^_^)

where did i go wrong, i lost a fren..

Somewhere along in the bitterness..





Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you..

Found this from Farah Syaz's blog. Worth reading~


..the fact of the matter is that people change.
i change.
u change.
we change.
but we don't change in the same ways. and we expect things to be the same, even when the situation change.
it will never work, if we can't accept change.
it will never work, if we are naive enough to insist things be the same, when everything else around us change.


we have to adapt.
we have to be flexible.
we have to be smart.


please don't hate me.
please don't give up.
please understand the situation, and give me and u time to adapt.


please give me some space to make mistakes, and grow.
and please love me nevertheless..

parenthood + emer's video

Emer is so funny..
Can't believe he made this video for me.
With his blur face, and thick lips (I always tease him with that).
He asked me to buy an IMac? (o_O) gilaa..
You think am what, a money machine??
He has that japanese slang when he talks.
This video cracks me up so much..
Gosh, miss you lil one!


***********************************************************************************

Last weekend, I had a sneak preview of how it's like to be a parent.
Instead of babysitting for 2 hours, this time is for 2 days.
Lucky thing I got Rai to help me out..
Sophia's okay, she's mature+ independent.
Johan is a handful! Needs lots of convincing + patience with this little fella.


On saturday night, after the kids are asleep, me, rai + ravi watched 'The Saint' dvd.
Then roughly about 2am, Ravi left, and Rai + I fell asleep.
Halfway through the night, I could feel a small hand near my face.
In the dark, I can roughly see Sophia, squeezing between me & Rai, and Johan next to Rai.
As I was too tired to ask or investigate, I fell back asleep.
At around 8am on Sunday morning, I could hear the kids jumping on our bed.
"Wakey wakey Kakak Meen, Wakey wakey Kakak Rai"..
Aduhh..just when I wanted to sleep in on a Sunday morning~


We had a big breakfast, played for abit outside + indoors.
I cooked lunch (apricot chicken curry..yum).
Then, had my mengaji session with Sophia.
I was so proud + happy to say that now, she is able to identify and say out all the Jawi letters! (^_^)
She is such a fast learner~
After that, we watched Finding Nemo, a bit of Jurassic Park + Pirates2.
Dinner, I cooked fried fish, eating with rice + kicap+ butter. (that's what I used to eat when I was young).
Then, after mandi + reading bedtime story, the kids went to bed.
Ravi cooked his butter chicken, and him + Rai left at 10.30pm, I watched a dvd + slept at 12am.


At around 2am, I was awoken by Johan's cry.
I couldn't make out the words that he was crying for..So I didn't do anything, thinking that within the 10 minutes he would settle down.
He didn't (-_-)
So, the very sleepy me went to their room, and asked him "What's the matter Johan?"
"I can't sleep Kakak Meen. Can I sleep with you?"
So, I lead him to my bed, then he said to me
"Kakak Meen, I want susu.."
I sayy~
So, I dragged myself in the kitchen pagi2 buta, doing a bottle of milk for him.
Lucky thing he felt asleep soon after.
At 4am, I could hear Sophia squeezing between me + Johan.
Again, everyone slept together on the same bed.


I woke up at 6am today, took my shower first.
6.30am woke up the kids, 7.10 had breakfast.
at around 7.45, Kak Nana + Peter arrived..
and my babysitting was over..but my body still wants to sleep!


Fyuhh, parenthood is definately not easy.
An important key to parenthood is to have a reliable + helpful "partner" to make a great team.
Me + Rai took turns in cooking, or taking the kids to bath, or playing with them + such.
Teamwork gets the job done!
Also, as parents, having a routine + planning ahead helps to get the day going.
Not forgetting having patience with your children..very important!!


As for now, I will appreciate my late nights, my sleep in's, my 'uninterrupted' sleeps..
just me, myself + I.. (^_^)
Until the day comes, when am ready to be a parent.
But firstly, I need somebody who can make a great 'team' with me! haha..
Not in the near future, that's for sure~ =p
