To all the mommies with postpartum tummy stretchmarks... a poem by Cassie Fox..

A mark for every breath you took, every blink, every sleepy yawn.

One for every time you sucked your thumb, waved hello, closed your eyes, 

and slept in the most perfect darkness. 

One for every time you had the hiccups. 

One for every dream you dreamed within me. 

It isn't very pretty anymore. 

Some may even think it's ugly. 

That's OK. 

It was your home.

It held you until my arms could, 

and for that, I will always find something beautiful in it. 

~ Cassie Fox

Very True!

The horrors of giving 2.6 yo toddler his meds

Aliif is ill again.. Now without his wheezing and coughing (yet!). Some how he is rejecting his meds, selalu ok je.. So ive tried :

1. Bribing - not working! He ignored the new fire engine toy, ipad !!!, going out to jalan as he rather stay with tok ayah.. unbelievable!
2. Mixing meds with mashed banana - worked only 1 time
3. Mixing meds with sweet condensed milk - vomited.

So much screaming & shouting. And that's just his father... PENING!

Bestu camne nih.. !? After his shower I saw a few red dots around his neck area. What can it be. Hope it'll go away soon.

Oh ya .. I tendered my resignation at my 9 yrs of job. When better than now. 9 yrs is wayyy to long to work papers that accounts to nothing your heart desires..

My main "job-pusher" aka "you better work if not youre going to die in poverty" mothership still don't know it yet. Wonder how long until I come out and tell her. Die la like this..

Found my Middlesex flatmates after a looongg time.. kawin matsaleh & staying in US rupanya. And she changed her surname. No wonder it was so hard to track her down! Got loads to catch up. Catch up kat FB je la skrg nih kan.

Until later..

Ini budak...

Just turned 18 months.

Sangat susah nak makan. Nasib baik he still wants his chooo.. (susu)

LOVESSS to entertain anyone with his joget moves to the chicken dance song.

Dah pandai indicate if he poo-pooed when asked.

Cakap NANAK! with both hands closing his mouth kalau org nak suap apa2.

Can do cat dog monkey tiger lion chicken sounds with his eyes closed.. huh no sweat la mom!

Sibuk nak feed by himself.

Baby mom dah big boy.. Dont grow up too fast sayang .. >.<

Animal Mechanicals Aliif 1st Birthday Bash! ~ Part 1 ~

Planning your child's 1st birthday is by no means an easy feat. Thought of getting the party supplies from US wayyy back when he was .. wat.. when he was stil 6mths old. In the end, last minute punya planning of course tak sempat la right. Anyways the shipping would cost a bomb so its a blessing in disguise. Wish i had planned properly then i wouldve time to customize my own cupcake toppers, water bottle wrappers, snack cup wrappers and treat bag tags...etc.. maybe next year.. hmmm... Now on to my party planning items..

Theme : HAH! Easy!! His eyes get glued on telly when his Animal Mechanical cartoon is on. DONE.

Venue : A place where kids & parents can enjoy and MOST IMPORTANTLY no need to have a scheduled event - i picked The Club @ Bukit Utama. The kiddies pool is super cool with the slides & all. MARVELOUSITY.

Time : Petang of coz.. just 2-3 hours bcoz babies get cranky & tired easily. CHECK.

Invites : DONE

The Cake : Came up with my own design for an Animal Mechanical themed cake & acquired help from colleagues wife's ( who also had tonnes of ideas) to make it happen. TQ Hijrah Bakers!

Major cuteness kann!!

I even asked to make brightly rainbow colored cake layers to match the theme =) Turned out beautifully!

The Family Uniform : Saw a machine embroidery shop at Ampang Park that specializes on stiching logos on blouses. Had custom ordered ABAH, MOMMY & ALIIF on our tshirts. SWEET!

 I must credit the cafe team of The Club@Bukit Utama as they were prompt & gave exceptional service to our baby's event. Look out for Emma or Awe for events management =)

Songkok budak @ carrefour midvalley

Salam ramadhan to all! Went to carrefour yesterday to stock up diapers despite takde sale.. Too long to wait for sale la.. And we found songkok for kids! RM9.90 only..!

Gerammmnye ngan budak ni!
