Diva-laden Nite

This entry specially dedicated to the birthday girl, you know who you are. Have a blast and dim-sum-ful birthday

I’m still dazed by all the glitters and diva-headed-celebrities and lack of sleep. After almost than 6hours of lupa diri session, I was back home to resume my duty to all the 3 kids who were obviously treasuring the dreamland, lintang pukang all over the 2nd hall.

Back to the story. That very 1st word of the title should give away the clue of my entry. D I V A as in diva….yeah baby I was there watching the 3 Diva concert courtesy of my ‘CP’ed friend. TQ TQ

My dear pakwe volunteered to transport us there, while he went for ‘300’ at Mines. The place was not so crowded and I can see the backdrop@red carpet area, love it. I can see the x-4U2C guy receiving the stars. That was the starts of my celebrity-packed outing. We stood and chatted away, moved closer but still out of the buzzing area. Managed to secure a position right behind the TV crew along the red carpet, that area was empty coz everybody were jostling at the entrance.

We stood there, not paying attention to all the passing i-don’t-even-know-who-the-hell VVIP, but things started to change once Dayang & d Gangz entered the scene. We were lucky, nobody obstructing our view at all. Now, we moved closer to grab the title ‘screaming fan’ when the sorts like Ning, Zi@na Zen made the entrance. BTW, Sazzy’s hand was soft as..what ah ? Wangi somemore…That was when the celebrity-fanatic realized that they had a better chance to grab the celebrity at OUR VERY OWN SPOT, the debab gurl next to me even pushed my partner in crime and open up her ‘aircon’. But, Tun Mahathir made our day and inspired my petite friend to fight for a handshake, and YEss she did it.

1 thing fresh in my mind : how we ducked our face just in time before the TV crew shoving the on-air camera right under our nose, you ppl should see us in action, that was hilarious !! I’d rather die than caught in action doing the celeb-whoring. Call us hypocrite for all we care

Once inside, had to wait for almost 45min, either we’re awestrucked or we’re plain berlagak but we were surrounded by all the URTV-faces like Camelia, Hattan, Kuza, Fazura blabla yet we dinch move a bit haha as if they’re a normal sighting.

The concert was worth the waiting, they (Kris, Ruth and Titi-i-donch-know-who) are absolutely a DIVA, the voices…bergetar dadaku !! Tapi..bergetar lagi gegendang telinga baby yang dibawak oleh one inconsiderate mom, you selfish creature !! I love to bits when they paid a tribute to Sheila M & CT.

The concert ended gloriously but our night ended nightmarishly (at least for one of us) !! We made a transit at Craven Ampang for another celebrity sighting. Nora Danish with her subang gantung in the middle of the night, Cicco and his mum Uji were having their supper, we were told that the cafe belongs to Zainal Abidin the Hijau singer. My diva friend can’t stop scratching and it looks like she’ll get a free (medical)leave for the next 2 weeks. Isn't that a bliss ? or was that a blister ? Happy scratching

My Two Front Teeth

In this case, just one.

Hanis went for her 1st dental visit to remove her wiggly jiggly tooth. She was so nervous and had a problem to display I'm-not-nervous face. But she's one BRAVE girl. We loaded her tummy with a dose of nasi briyani ayam madu beforehand to prepare her for the 'aftermath'.

The clinic is somewhere in the neighborhood, mind you, this is not our panel dental clinic. Most of us will normally utilise free dental benefits to the max. Here a couple who think they have so much money, keep on going to THIS KLINIK PERGIGIAN HUDA. We went there to treat bibik's swollen face, I went for my filling, Adan went for his 1st dental visit (no blog yet at that time), no pix also. On why we went back...

This Mr gentlemen goes by the name of Dr. Kamarul, he have his own way dealing with kids, very good in coaxing the child, even ubat bius got a new name, strawberry jam. And he got a tiny camera to show you all those cavities and chili flakes in every corner of your smelly mouth. It's a fact that I'm weak for all things gadget.

It took less than 10-minutes. Hanis came out a happy girl, she got a free toothbrush and a rongak smile that she will happilly flash upon request. And Babah was ONLY RM25 poorer. Cheap, right ? I paid almost 200 for the filling last time.

Being Hanis, I expected there will be whines and whimpers at least for the whole Saturday. Surprisingly, she was her usual self less than 2 hours and keep on begging us to let her play outside. The cotton gauze was gone in 1 hour.

Another EXam wEek for tHe Eldest

Good Luck my Dear Daughter,

3-days exam : Sek. Ren. Ag. at TIK : 20-22 March

I know, physically, you haven't recovered from the journey up north, but I know you can do it. It's ok if you failed to score a perfect mark. Life is more and far beyond that.

Tak sampai hati nak paksa dia sit and do her revision when she can't barely sit up straight and yawning every few minutes. Go get your blanket and pillow, come sleep with me and I'll read for you.

Bubye Penang,

What was supposed to be a jalan-jalan episode, as usual end up as a makan-makan siang malam. Even bibik was wondering.."kenapa kita tak keluar jalan-jalan tengok tempat org kak ?". Our tummy takes us around Penang, we even hopped on the ferry service to get us to Sg Dua.

Unfortunately, the food was not as good as before, Penang used to hold a special place in my tummy. But now I won't be coming back SOLELY for the FOOD. It's still good but you don't feel like 'I have to come back' or 'I'll singgah kalau naik utara' .

We left our beloved Kg Ker-Dust in 2 cars around 10am and made a stop at Tapah for drinks, had a lunch and prayer break at Wa's house in Bkt Gantang and proceed with our journey close to 3pm. Reached the resort almost 5 and everyone went ZZzzzzz.

One observation : Orang Penang kuat ber'tenet' hahaha tengah hari rembang pi duduk tepi pantai ataih batu tu...kuatnya semangat. Siang malam bersusun keter motor tepi pantai, apakata JAIPP pi serbu tengok, apa depa dok buat dlm gelap tu.

No pix to share, a bit segan since my family don't share the spirit that everything is worth a click. I shot here and there and stop when couple of eyebrows started to frown. How ah...FYI ah people... even teh tarik froth can be the object of fascination when I have a camera with me ok ?? you know, just to add to the tahap melampau.

I love party...

Yesterday, my dear daughter Nur Hanis Raihana turned 7. Happy Birthday...Ibu and Babah LOVE YOU sayang...

We got this book for her - Dora the Explorer : Dora Clock Book

Still remember the day she was born 11 March 2000, 7 years ago. I was cool for a first time mom-to-be, no panicking no whatsoever. I should refrain myself from telling the world how I went thru the whole episode or I'll be the ultimate mummy-the blogger. But the conclusion is : that particular hospital a.k.a Gee Hatch SUCKS !! BIG TIME.

We had a small party yesterday. Just for her friends in the neighborhood and the parents's frenz or coz. With a small budget left after paying the roadtax+insurance, I managed to serve enough food, blow enough balloons (TQ Ayah Teh and Babah) and distribute enough goodies. All in all, Hanis had a blast and mummy's purse is bleeding...

Now, start preparing for another round of balloon blowing moment. who else ? The only boy Rashdan @ Adan @ Abang @ Bob the Builder @ Cicakman @ Batman @ Thomas the Train...everything under the sun. MAY is just 2 months away.

I need a retail therapy....now now now

Come to me....Liz Claiborne's baby

Monday 5 March 2007

Hey kiddo, eat yout ALPHABETS !!

Another discovery...

For mothers (why not fathers??) who's pulling their hair to pujuk the kiddo to eat something healthy and filling, this might be the answer.


P A S T A P A S T A P A S T A

So, go get it at the nearest Cold Storage or Tesco, you might not find it...I've been looking (at Cold Storage KLCC on laa..) for this for more than a year.

Food presentation work wonders...with other kids, not mine....they will say something like..."ibu main masak2 ye ?". Oh, don't you feel like screaming / crying at the same time ?

Proud Mom

I'm proud of my little girl (she said she's not). She sat for her 1st 'real' academic test last week on Wednesday but the same night we had to rush back to my hometown. My grandpa Ayah Mat passed away.

She had to skipped 2 papers on Thursday, luckily none 4 Friday. Another test on Monday and she was allowed to sit 4 the paper that she missed.

Yesterday, she gave me 2 test papers to 'sign', dear parent...nowadays you have to sign every single thing homework, test papers..bla bla

To my surprise, she managed to score 100% for Math, BM writing and comprehension, Agama 94% only...semangat dia nak brush up agama punya part. She's the very malas one when it comes to writing....no need for Kumon yet la Babah

Still waiting for Science and English. (update !! Science 98%)

Babai

Pernah tak ?

Penah x tetiba korang rasa malas nak buat keje sebab terlampau banyak keje...instead of tunggang langgang to finish whateva that you need and 'have' to finish, you just ignore it and simply surf the net, do some housekeeping on you mailbox....balas e-mail kengkawan and definitely blog-hopping...penah tak ? tak ?

Ke aku sorang jek yang ada bad habit ni. x boleh jadik ni...

ok...aku start buat keje pukul 3 nanti, aci ? Kenapa x start pukul 2 ? Skarang nak carik something to munch munch...
