Ramblings of a Mami of Two

Mommy loves you very, very, very much!!! You know what, it feels like it was only yesterday when you were born, when i first held you in my arms, when i first kissed you and said, "So, you're the one who's been jumping and kicking me in my belly all these times, aren't you?" It feels like only yesterday when I nursed you for the very first time, and i tell you, you're a quick learner! You latched on correctly the first time! And the feeling, OMG, it was the most wonderful feeling in this world. And it feels like only yesterday when you kept me up all night for one whole month straight. You'd only sleep at 6 in the morning, every day without failing. I watched all movies on HBO, Cinemax, Star Movies, AXN, you name it. I knew that channel 711 airs That 70's Show everyday, weekdays at 6 am. I knew, cause I was still awake that time. And then as months passed by, you started to sleep like normal person at night, outgrew your rompers, started taking solids...

1 more day =)

3 days till Kimi's Big Day. Kimi's milestones since last update ( some are actually before last update but i just remembered ): can almost run, especially when someone kejar after him and say "kejar diaaaaa" likes to dance, especially to that ribena lemon and blackcurrant hindustan song (bobbing his head, do steps, something like shuffle) has grown two more upper teeth! likes to play hide and seek, like belakang kerusi has moved on to a wider variety of food, tho i still refrain from feeding him anything with sugar and food as best as i can is scared of the ocean waves. He cried his lungs out at redang whenever the ombak comes by So, 3 more days, huh? Can't believe it myself. Initially Ach and I had something planned for the big day, like small makan-makan with the family, like a kenduri doa selamat or something. But due to some unforeseen and inevitable circumstances, that has got to wait. *Bummer*. So we'll just make do with a small dinner, the three of us....

So, remember the last entry? The picture of our toothbrushes? We were at Redang! So, we went to terengganu last week for Maliki's reception. Alang-alang dah pergi terengganu, we went to redang sekali la. We stayed at Berjaya for 4 days 3 nights Awesome, I tell you, awesome!!! The water is blue, turquoise kot, it's so clear that you can see the bottom, the sands white, the beach is clean, pokok-pokok kelapa goyang-goyang, angin sepoi2 bahasa, the ombak tak kuat... it's a slice of heaven. I've always been a beach person, I dont mind spending the whole day lying at the beach, sleeping, swimming, berendaming, all sorts of things. Redang happened to be the perfect place to do this, sebab, there's nothing much to do here, no sight seeing, no shopping, so we had the wholeeeeeee four days to bum around. Except, kimi's eczema means he can't be sweating that much or that'll worsen his condition, so we spent some days watching movie after movie in the room. Okay t...

Mate and Laney, Congratulations!!! I am so happy for both of you.

I love my job. Seriously. Although I don’t get to go to Dubai like Mate or Texas like Laney (saye jealous ni), but I get to go important (or so I thought) meetings and be part the of the drafting committee for a national industrial masterplan. And I get to attend (and organize) meetings chaired by the PM and Ministers. Eceh perasan important. Occasionally, I also get to listen to experts and brilliant people talk at conventions and seminars, for free, when other people had to pay, sometimes thousands for it. I'd like to consider that as a perk of my job. I had listened to Raja Nazrin, Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing, marketing guru Hermawan Kartajaya, Dato Sri Shazalli and the likes. Some talks are boring, some interesting but easily forgotten and some left me inspired. Couple of days ago, I was lucky to be a part of the secretariat for a convention organised by the office. They managed to get 9 lady entrepreneurs, including Tiara Jacquelina, Winnie Loo of a A Cut Above, Helen Read of Ms. Re...

I think, I have morphed from a temperamental bitchy monster into a very patient person. Usually I would yell if I lost my patience but nowadays i just rolled my eyes, campak barang sikit-sikit and pretended nothing happened. But today I need to voice this out so I don't go crazy. Really. Is it just me, or I really need to berebut with my maid to spend time with my son? I mean, I AM spending time with him, its just that, during the weekends, I want to do everything for him, like bathe him, feed him, masak, everything, in short. Its bad enough that I let that old lady do EVERYTHING the whole week, i dont want to pass my responsibility to her 100% and only goyang kaki during the weekends. What does that make me??????? But I guess I have been slacking in the past few weeks leading my maid to think that I only want my baby when he's all cleaned up, kenyang and happy. She thinks its HER responsibility to take care of the baby when the baby is crying, or hungry, or sleepy. Or...
