Ramblings of a Mami of Two

Kimi : Ultraman, cakap sorry dekat Makngah. Ultraman : Sorry Makngah. Mommy : Apesal Ultraman kena cakap sorry dekat Makngah? Kimi : Sebab Ultraman kopek cat dekat rumah Makngah. Ach and I : ????

Yes. He's still my baby.  It's only the third year, but I'm already  running out of things to write! Macam mana ni? Alright, let's start with what he can do at 3 years old: He can ride his balance bike  on his own. Totally balanced. Siap boleh angkat both legs off the ground and not fall. Huiyo. I could only ride the bike without supporting wheels when I was 10. Yep, I wasnt born to be an athlete. Is seriously talkative. He can talk like an adult, that's why it is really fun talking to him. And the stuff he says nowadays are totally random. " Kimi baik, Kimi bukan girl! " Eh? Who has been feeding funny ideas to you baby? Or try this: Ayah: " Kimi, kakak sofiana buat apa? " Kimi: " Sapu sampah" . Ayah: " Mommy? " Kimi: " Mommy tido! ". Argh!!! He can pronounce L clearly but fails at S, F, H ("eh"), C ("ci"), K ("tay"). Eats like an Italian. Spaghetti aglio olio. Blegh. N...

The blogosphere is pretty quiet nowadays… the links on my daily read feed only change every two or three days. Or is it just me? Oh well, nevermind. I’ve always been into crafting. I’ve done a couple of craft projects in the past, appliques for Kimi’s rompers, Kimi's felt mobile ,  his felt ABC book , our third anniversary booklet . Now I’m past the felt phase… because I’ve found quilling. It’s totally addictive yo. I keep finding occasions just to have reason to quill ( bunyi macam orang nerd. I always have nerdy hobbies ). Since I was not born creative, I had to google “quilling patterns, quilling cards” and just copied other ppl’s design sebab nak design sendiri tak reti. You see, quilling is just like drawing, only harder because you have to translate drawings into blocks of shapes. So, tiru orang punya lagi senang. Takpe, bukan aku jual pun those cards. So far, I’ve done 4 projects, actually 5 but I didn’t give one to anybody so it doesn’t count. My very first q...

... that I finally, finallyyyy, saw Kimi and Ach both enjoyed my food. The same food. I know Ach has always enjoyed the food that I cook ( either that, or he's a good actor ), but for Kimi, I've always had to prepare different set of milder food. Eg: Ach gets ayam sambal, Kimi gets soup ayam. But last night, Tuhan turunkan wahyu suruh aku masak spaghetti aglio olio (sp?) ikut resepi sendiri... Mostly because i didnt know what to cook. But I was surprised to see both  of them ate like they had never eaten for the past 10 years!!! Kimi voluntarily kissed me on the cheek and said, "Thank you mommy masak sedap!" and Ach pun sama kissed me and said, "TQ Bie!". They finished their serving in 10 mins. It was a small serving tho. Eh? Ehhh? Since when did this happen? Why did this happen? I am so not used to this! I was overjoyed. The feeling could easily beat the feeling of getting a new job. Seriously. Haih, the joy of being a mom and a wife. The smil...

Kami jumpa Kamera Murah Kimi! It's a Yashica EZ F521 or Digital Holga ( some people said, but i beg to differ ). Kamera Murah ni fit hampir semua faktor-faktor yang kawan senaraikan sebelum ini . Sebenarnya, jumpa kamera ni pun secara kebetulan, Ajan dan kawan sebelum ni dah keluar masuk dari satu kedai ke satu kedai nak cari kamera untuk Kimi tapi tak jumpa. Yang kami berkenan semuanya lebih budget kami. Cuba browse dalam Mudah dan kebetulan hari tu ada orang iklankan Yashica ni. Tawar-tawar sikit, kawan pun setuju beli kamera ni untuk Kimi. Kotak Yashica yang berbahasa Jepun Kamera ni sangat-sangat minimum features dia dan sangat mudah nak guna. Saiz kecil dan sangat ringan sebab di buat dari plastik (murah). Kalau pegang, memanglah terasa macam toy camera . Gambar-gambar dari kamera ni tak lah sharp , lebih-lebih lagi kalau kurang cahaya, tapi kawan rasa cukuplah untuk kamera pertama Kimi. Cuma yang kawan tak berapa gemar, kamera ni guna bateri AAA. Satu lagi, Kamer...

I have never been a fan of Apple. In fact, I'm still not one now. I didn't even know who Steve Jobs was until Ach gave me the iPhone 4. When I got it, I wasn't sure how to react. Eh, best sangat ke menatang alah ni? Now I can't live a day without my iPhone, though I still think that iPad is an overpriced toy. Useless, at some point. But I digress. Despite being a non-fan and non-believer of the coolness of Apple's overpriced stuff, I must admit that this iPhone of mine has worked really great for me, especially those times when I had to travel for work. Thanks to Facetime and iPhone's wonderful apps like twitter, instagram, viber (the most awesomest of all),  the thousands of miles travelled felt closer, in fact, almost non existent. Although there was one time that iPhone made it harder, when Kimi refused to do Facetime with me and shoved Ach's phone in the almari. Then he cried for the longest time and and the evil ach boleh tak disconnect the call?! O...
