Api keluar melalui telinga!

Sometimes people can get VERY STUPID, don't they? They make a wish for Christmas and some other pak turut must grant it for them like he's some sort of the so-called Father Christmas. Who can be as stupid as wanting to paint their gates during the holiday, and to achieve his/her desire he/she must spoil MY holiday mood???

What does the pak turut get in return? Some cheap stupid mugs that's meant to be CUTE! But trust me, they are Plain Ugly.

Twinkle Winkle Sleeping Star

When Irfan looks at the sky, he loves identify stars, moon, sun and cloud. Last night we were looking at stars twinkling in the sky, and after a couple of minutes they made a sudden disappearance. So he asked me "Star mana, mama?" and so I told him "Stars all went to sleep".

So now every time he looks at the sky without stars, he'd tell me that "Star Shleep! Star Shleep!". Hahaha! Cuteness or what!

Now let's see this boy singing with his mother.

Sorry, tengah busy renovate rumah

I know have been ignoring this home for far too long. Truth is, I was busy rasing money to revamp the look of my home. It's not that easy as I don't hold a 9-5 job. I have to find every means possible to gain and save the money so I could buy nicest things for the house.

Anyway guys, if you think I'm talking about the house we're currently living in, you thought wrong! I'm actually talking about my Meme's house in the Pet's Society, haha! Yerp, my pet's been keeping me busy nowadays that I even neglected our own house jsut so I could make my pet happy.

Introducing to you, my darling Meme~!


And let's take a tour of the house, here's the revamping that I've done to three out of five rooms in his home sweet home.

The Living Room


His girlfriend's room auuuww!


The Library. Yeah, I know I need more books so the room will look more library-ish. Anybody care to lend me some money so I could buy more books? ;-)


Oh yeah! Meme has got a girlfriend. Just this morning, I created a new pet, Nania, using my hubby's fb account so I could steal money from her to revamp Meme's house. Hahaha! I'm such a big bad wolf, am I not?

Oh, are they not the most adorable couple you've ever seen? Now, excuse me while I go make more money for my renovation project.

Finally, some peace of mind!

Irfan hates his meds, that's a fact.

Every time we want to feed Irfan his medicine, his dad would recite this zikir "Ya manismuhu dawa' wa zikruhu syifa'". He is so used to it that he knows it's time for med whenever he heard it and would start to find cover beneath the sofa or behind the curtains.

So now, when he wants to eat or drink something that he's not supposed to, say coffee or Maggi, we just have to recite the zikir and he would run to the other end of the world while we continue to eat and drink in peace.

Hahaha!!

Who lives in a pineapple in Pet Society?

Kawan-kawan,

Please be my neighbors in Pet Society. I seriously need more neighbors so I could get more kaching! $$$$$$!

Price Tag? Name Tag? What TAG?

I don't normally do tags. I'm just too impatient to think and answer those questions. I know my buddy Ayu has given up on tagging me as I always ngelat from it but out of the blue I've decided to do this one.

So let's see...

1: First time jumpa your hubby bila dan kat mana?
This one ada 2 versions :
a) virtual : via sms in early 2001. I was supposed to play a prank on my brother's friend (that is him!). Ok that went wrong, let me re-phrase it. My brother and I actually traded our friend's numbers because Celcom was giving out unlimited free smses and we wanted to fully utilize it. So I actually asked my brother if he got any handsome friend that I could play a prank on, but he said "handsome takdak, Amin adalah!". I thought that was classic! Hahaha! Anyway, turned out that he was a better prankster than me, and man! That really got me hooked!

b) real life : end of 2001 when he insisted to meet me up at the bus station once I arrived from hometown. Man, I couldn't stop fidgeting in the bus. Luckily my sister was there to keep me cool. Thanks kakak!

2 : Love at first sight?
You know...wayyy before we met face to face he kept on telling me that he was as black as the coal (haha!) so my first thought when I first met him was "Phewwwww! Not as bad as I imagined him to look like!". Well, my imagination could get reaaaaalll bad you know, so it was a relieve. Hahaha!

And then, I started noticing the details : his sweet smile, pretty eyes and how he seemed to fluster whenever we looked into each others eyes. So was it love at first sight? I don't know, you tell me.

3 : Who is he when the first time u met him?
Multimedia geek, erkkk I mean, student.

4 : How long it takes for him to ask u out for a date?
Well, it wasn't long before he asked, but it sure took me long to agree to meet up. Like almost a year. I was like jinak-jinak merpati okeh :-p

5 : First place dating?
Classic!! We were always talking about bringing our children here to show where we first ever met face to face. Too bad the place is no longer there : A&W at the old railway station.

6 : How he proposed?
I can't remember coz there wasn't any special occasion on that. We just came to realization that we wanted to grow old together and so just went with the flow.

7 : Special date with your hubby?
Date as in numbers? 5.5.2007 - the day we tied the knot

Date as in dating? It has to be the railway station date, and our first time ever watching midnight at the cinema, a couple of days after we were married. :-)

8 : Changes that he asked you to do?
Well, I asked him a couple of minutes ago, and he said NOTHING. ;-)

9 : What is about him that you love so much?
This may sound cliche, but the truth; it's EVERYTHING about him.

10 : What is about him that you wish he would change?
Just to be a better person everyday

11 : You will lose your mind and crack your head when he..
Do the man things, you know never put the toilet seat down, trail clothes everywhere et cetera. But that does not make me love him less. ;-)

12 : You will smile through your eyes for the whole day when he
Tell me that he loves me in his so many ways of saying it

13. Complete below sentences.."My love towards my hubby is as BIG as.. nothing. It's incomparable. Let me ask you something, can you even define love in one word, or one sentence?

Whoever dare to leave comment here, YOU ARE TAGGED!

Darah berjurai-jurai, mana lah mama tak panic!!!

Irfan's routine everyday when his father comes back from work is to hide from him, and then when abah calls out to him a few times he would run out of his hiding space to him, and run back to me before his father even get to hug him. Yes, he loves teasing his daddy like that.

Last night he went through the same routine, and while he was running back to where I was sitting he fell face down, and a thunderous sound ensued his fall. His face hit the sofa leg. There was blood all over his face!!! He cried until his lips turned all blue, and so I thought there must be a deep cut somewhere! He was crying and crying while his father tried to rinse his mouth as the blood seemed to be coming out of it. I was then afraid that he might have broken a few teeth; Omigod! 21 months and toothless already! I can't imagine.

Then after a lot of struggling, wailing and hair pulling, we managed to clean up the blood and it was clear that his teeth were all in good order ALHAMDULILLAH, despite his lips looking very swollen like it was stung by a bee. However, this time all the dramas and the crying didn't last that long as he was all psyched to get to play with bubble while he was being clean up, so I guess it took his mind off the pain. After the panic subsided, I actually thought he looked kinda cute and sexayyy with pouting lips like Angelina Jolie. Haha!!

This morning while observing him, I noticed that his rabbit teeth is a bit crooked. Tsk tsk tsk. Sungguh like father like son. The father has crooked nose due to accident years back, and now the son has crooked teeth due to the fall.

What a perfect match!

Does your toddler share his/her toys?

Irfan has come to the age where he totally refuses to share toys with other toddlers/kids, be it his own or other kid's toys. The other day I got remarked from a certain someone that Irfan is "kedekut" (stingy) and refused to share stuff with her anak buah. When in truth, her anak buah was the one who refused to share in the first place, and I don't blame him really. Because I knew it's normal for kids that age, and whenever people commented of how kedekut her anak buah was, I was the one who defended him.

But then, when I got such remark from this mulut-tak-insuran person, it got my blood boiling until they almost vaporize due to overheating. Sungguh tak sedar diri!

Anyway, because I'm a mother who is truly worried about her child behavior (although it's normal, but that doesn't make it right), I googled about teaching my toddler to share and this is what I found :

When your toddler refuses to share his favorite truck (or even his least favorite truck), he isn't really being selfish — he's just acting his age. Sharing is a skill he'll develop over several years. In the meantime, struggles over toys will be common. It's no fun to watch your child grab a toy and shout "Mine!" But if he's playing with other toddlers, he won't be the only one doing it.

That said, kids learn by imitating what they see, so take every opportunity to show your child how to share. Offer him a bite of your meal or a chance to assist in the fun of decorating a cake. As you do, use the word "share" to describe your behavior. ("I'm eating a really good sandwich, and I'd love to share it with you. Would you like some?") When your toddler attempts to share, praise his efforts. Little by little, he'll drink in the positive reinforcement and feel good about repeating those actions that seem to make you so happy. Before long, he'll start sharing because it comes naturally.

Toddlers do lots of "proto-sharing" — showing an object to other people and allowing them to manipulate it without quite letting go. Though it doesn't look like it, it's a big step toward sharing, so reinforce it. "How nice of you to show Seth your telephone," you might say. Later, when he's started playing with something else, you could suggest he pass the phone to his friend, and praise him for doing so. Whether the other child wants the toy at this point is not as important as practicing the act of sharing and being rewarded for it.

One way to avoid tantrums over sharing is to let your child hide a few of his most precious playthings before his friends come over. Tell him these toys are ones he doesn't have to share, then put them away. Make sure your child is aware that what's left is for everyone, though. If he says he doesn't want to hide a favorite toy but you know he'll have trouble sharing it, you might want to buy a duplicate if it isn't an expensive item.

If toys just seem to incite too many quarrels and tugs-of-war, you may want to steer clear of them altogether and engage your child and his playmates in a project such as making pretend cookies with modeling clay or drawing pictures. That way, they can be involved in the same fun activities without having to share possessions.

You should never punish a child, especially one this age, for not sharing. You can let him know you're disappointed and sad when he doesn't share, but that's it. Don't make a big deal out of it. Some of these struggles should be ignored — you don't want sharing to become a parent-child battleground. Let him work this out with other children. When he doesn't share, his friends will let him know in no uncertain terms how unhappy they are, and he'll learn that sometimes it takes hard work to be a good friend!

It's comforting to know that this is a normal behavior for most/all toddlers. I guess it'll be a long process to teach him good manners and there'll be lots of hair-pulling and disappointment in between, but I'll work on it and pray that my child will grow up to be a well-mannered boy. InsyaAllah.



On an irrelevant note, when Irfan ran out of idea of what to play, he decided to play dress up with Barney. Haha!

The Family Feud is finally settled!

Well, well, well...

All these while we'd been getting remarks that Irfan is a duplicate version of his daddy, with a lighter skin. I agree that they have the same eyes and nose and whenever I look at them together I can really see the resemblance there. A LOT, really!

But then at times when I look at both of mother and son in the mirror, I could see myself in him too. Only thing is I can't detect which part is me, really.


So today I decided to take this test, from The MyHeritage.com to settle the debate once and for all! And guess what? It's now STATE-OF-THE-ART-FACE-RECOGNITION PROVEN that he's more Merican's, or perhaps Mohamed's than he is Modhavan!!! Wakakakakkaa.

So Modhavans, please eat your heart out!!

Kids say the darnest thing!

Conversation took place between a grandpa and his grandkid...

Grandkid : Grandpa, what is this? (pointing to grandpa's chest)
Grandpa : Oh it's hair!
Grandkid : Hmmmm, why don't you take this hair (pointing at the chest) and put it there (pointing at grandpa's bald head)

Kah kah kah! Kena sebijik! Kids really do say the darnest thing, don't they?
