Selipar saiz 5

Just a note to myself, your dear daughter is no longer a small baby, she's now officially wearing selipar saiz 5. Same size as moi. 1panema no less, Ba-ta no more.

Theoritically, it's another phase of life where she expected you to be more 'friendly' instead of the usual mother-nagging-stuffs thrown her way. This is a phase that will chart her love growth as I now competing with her friends.

We might think we did the best as a mother but we may fail to realise that what she needs is a friend or should i say err 'friendly mother' ?.

Hammer that to your head, ibu...and babah as well. Think back when you were a child, would you like to be treated the way you're treating them now ? If you like it, good job. If you hate it, chances are..you kids loathe it as well.

Jalan-Jalan Ibukota 5 : MenaraKL

Bila :: 19 Dec 2010
Mana :: Itu KL Tower ..
Siapa :: Anak-beranak

Acara terakhir dalam tour de KL. We owe them many more [Planetarium, Pusat Sains, Istana Negara, Taman Rama-Rama, Zoo Negara (Hannah has never been there), etc]

Our last trip to Menara was long time ago when Hannah belum wujud lagi. Maka haruslah merangka satu lawatan sambil belajar ke tempat-tempat sebegini supaya anak-anak tidak hanya kenal negara orang tapi boleh juga riak (eh sape ajar riak2 nih ??) dan berkata 'I woz ere' (x leh blah when this was trend dolu2, penuh kat dinding).

Since kami saja carik nahas pegi masa weekend maka terimalah akibatnya kan ? Umang aii ramainya ummat manusia kat sini oii. Lepas beli tiket kitorang gi layan acara2 sampingan kat luar menara seperti mari menunggang kuda 1 pusingan tapi tali I yang pegang. 'I' disitu merujuk kepada Bangla. Konpius jap, aku b'cuti kat Bangladesh ke ni ? Piangg penampar sebijik, baru sedar masih di KL.

 Beratur dengan sabar dan sivik menunggu giliran memandu kereta konon cas driver F1, padahal aku tukang ambik gambar je.

Sebelum naik atas, harus ambik gambar dulu. Biasa la tektik tmpt2 camni buat duit, gambar x semenggah (sila bersyukur), aku snap lagi lawa (riak disitu), sia2 jek kamera gabak (kutuk org). Sib baik ada frame kertas tulis MenaraKL buat kenangan utk anak2.

Muka focus atau konpius nih ?

Naik atas layan anak-anak berebut binocular ngan kanak-kanak dewasa. Letih. Sempat mengendap org mandi kat few hotels . Sempat teropong opis aku. Main teka-teki 'itu bangunan apa', kalau silap, sila sentap.

Tetiba promosi 1Malaysia, anggapkan 1hati 1jiwa jelah

Lepas kena pau fridge magnet, kami beransur ke next destination. KLCC. Ayat macam aku nak g jadi 

tourist dan beratur naik jambatan gantung tu ye padahal nak gi lunch kat Chili's hehe

Hot item @Chilis

Sekian timakasih sbb dah abih citer psl lawatan sambil belajar. Eh lupa, kat bawah Menara ada mini-zoo yg agak eksotik sbb ada byk-nak-mampus ular dalam tu. Aku jalan sambil seriau seriau meremang bulu tengkuk intai atas bawah takut ada sekor yg bijak bistari escape duk kat atas bumbung ssss-sss-sss sambil intai ahkak. Imagine citer anaconda. Woh ngeri siot.

Soklan : Ibu, boleh tak kita bela kurakura ni ?

Hensem tak aii ?

Jalan Jalan Ibukota 4 : AllahuAkbar, sampai jugak...

Bila :: 13 Dec 2010
Mana :: MasjidNegara
Siapa :: All of us

Setelah puas ibu mertoaku mengehint, "Asik duk pi KLSeeSee ja..cuba bawak pi MasjidNegara ka, mana ka..". Toing toing tepat di dahi..

Maka, acara hari itu telah diatur dgn teliti, dimana kami akan timing betul2 so leh solat Zohor kat sana. We went there almost 3pm to avoid crowd during lunch hour and it's proven as the best strategy coz we managed to secure a parking inside the mosque compound.

KL is very hot you know, lepas solat ambik peluang sejukkan badan kat situ kejap. Ada sorang makcik tu siap pusingkan kipas kotak a la aircon tu hala kat dia aje, kepamnya bau sampai kat kitorang. Duk depan kipas angkat telekung so that angin sejuk masuk dlm telekung dia je, aci ?

Sementara tunggu babah yang ambik peluang Zzzz sandar kat tiang, sempat la pose sekejap. The place is currently undergoing some renovation at certain wings esp the one to MakamPahlawan or something. Told the kids that I would bring them to the building behind them ..someday..stesen ketapi, musti pigi, tapi bila tuh agak2 ?

At last, berjaya jugak bawak budak pi sini and again, I can proudly said that I went to MasjidNegara albite a lil bit too late (sad eh ?) when others went there during 'lawatan sambil belajar' sekolah rendah lagi hehe.

Rating acara : A+

Jalan-Jalan Ibukota 3 : berTAMANBURUNGan

Bila :: 13 Dec 2010
Mana :: KL-BirdPark
Siapa : All of us

Right after me'nugu' & lunch ikan bakar, perjalanan diteruskan le destinasi yang di tunggu2. Mari melihat burung adik-adik !!

Tiket tidak murah ye walaupun berMyKAD, setarap tiket Aquar1a la jugak but I think it was well spent sbb bukan senang nak jumpa burung merak yang boleh dikatakan bersepah2, boleh terpijak2 ekor lagi...merak yang kat bawah aku rasa mmg dh di train utk jadik seekor merak yang riak haha, bila dia zasss bukak je ekor dia yg stunning itu terus pusing2 ala2 princess pakai gaun, mcm nak kasik kitorang tgk segala angle sampai punk0q dia pun tayang2 yuckkss. Bukan merak je..burung lain pun macam berkeliaran sana sini...terkejut gak tiba2 terpijak, tersepak (aku tgh hayun kaki kat wakaf tiba2 ada burung lalu..rasakan penyepak aku dusyum !!)

Belum apa2 dah penat..alasan!! nampak jek stall terus penat ye. Gi sini jgn lupa bwk bekal air, air mineral kecik adalah = rm4. Harap maklum. Kejadian x bleh blah berlaku di sini bila sorang mamat tourist pakistan tanya Man. 'Are you from India ?'. Aku dh nak tersedak eskrem dh time tu..skali kuar ayat yg aku rasa mcm dlm mimpi. 'You look like Tandulkar, SachinTandulkar, the cricket player ' . Hohohoho pakai spek hitam punya psl terus tandulkar ko...

Tempat macam ni standard la kan kena pau tang ambik gambar segera. Hanya bertiga kerana Hannah x mau masuk lepas tgk burung di'pasang' kat badan kitorang. Mamat yg jaga tu mcm xde perasaan sket, main letak jek burung tuh. Along & Adan dah merayu2 jgn letak atas bahu, dia letak jgk, aku dh nak marah sbb Adan kata sakit kena kuku. Tp sebab 30hengget t'paksa sabarkan dia suh senyum (lps tu check mmg ada luka sket bekas kuku, cepat2 sapu dettol sanitizer)

Jalan-Jalan Ibukota 2 : TuguNegara

Bila :: 13 Dec 2010
Mana :: TuguNegara
Siapa :: All of us + BIL

Konon nk pegi pagi2 end-up almost 11. Nk jd crite, terambik jln under construction plak. Merangkak. Sampai about the same time ngan bas persiaran. Penuh manusia2 tourist. Kesian PakSu depa tunggu lama. Jadi, kalau nak ke Tugu sila sampai before 11, gate open at 7am

Paksu yang jadik photographer kitorang, upah lunch ikan bakar kat Tangling sementara dia tunggu wifey abih meeting nearby.

Ada orang ngaku dia orang Tranung walopon IC code KL hehe, yang sorang pulak konfiden dia org Selangor. Sambil2 jalan tu sambil cerita la sejarah tugu ni & sapekah orang2 yg namanya terpahat *ambik kau ayat terpahat* di sana.

So now I can proudly say, I've been to TuguNegara *when I was 35*. It's never too late to visit.

Akhir kata, terimalah hadiah pose terbaik dari baby aku yang vain ini. Siap ada tourist nk ambik gmbar dgn dia hehe

Rating acara : A

Jalan Jalan Ibukota 1: P0trajaya

Bila :: 12 Dec 2010
Mana :: WP Potrajaya
Siapa :: All of us + BIL & wifey

Acara pertama kami sebagai merasmikan sesi round KL. Since Hannah belum venture ke sana secara official, jom P0trajaya. Siap ajak my BIL to join. Dia bawak cendawan goreng yg sgt yummy.

Lps layan area masjid yg super crowded dgn tourist (Sapa soh gi weekend kan ?) . Kanak2 tak heran dengan segala yang ada kat situ kecuali playground. Pegi lah mana2 pun playground jugak yang besh.

Dah plan siap2 x mo bersesak solat kat masjid lama tu so kami cepat2 blah & solat maghrib kat MasjidBesi. Lawo seh...bersih seh...besar seh...terpegun aku kejap. Along & Adan pegang setiap tiang & dinding..'ooo..yang ni besi' 'eh yang ni bukan'. Rupa2nya bila dgr kami ckp MasjidBesi, depa dok igt suma buat ngan besi hehe

Hannah yg happy sukaria siap solat 3-rakaat sama2. Lepas tu sentap seround sbb aku x bagi dia turun dalam kolam yg dah kering tu. Dia duk la berjuntai kaki kat tepi kolam tu sampai la dipujuk rayu janji manismu. Asal jangan tantrum golek2 guling sumer sudah. View cantik dari situ.

Acara wajib..pose atas jembatan la, aku biau budak2 tu lepas kan gian nak main. Panjat la korang puas2. Tiba2 org lain pulak sentap. Adoi..korang nih letih laaa

Lps tu haruslah isi perut pulak. Layan YankeesHut yg super slow & super kedekut. Last aku pi sana masa batch Man buat re-union buka posa kat sana few years back when Hannah was a baby. Air 1 jag (jag besi yg hotel tuang air masak tuh) leh dpt dlm 4 gelas je, lain sumer ais. Biasa tempat lain klu 1 jag tug dpt jag plastik tu kan ? Ini dah la jag kecik, kurus semacam, hampres..

Makan tapi x rasa apa2, nak order pun mcm malas sbb bapak budak pulak yg sentap atas sebab2 yg tidak diketahui. Ditambah pulak dgn makanan yang dihidang hampir 1jam lps order. So makan sekadar isi perut sbb mak dah x koser nak layan. Rating acara: B

Nota : Sila teka, berapa kali perkataan sentap digunakan ?

Salam 2011

Lambat beberapa hari...tapi masih dlm 1st week of January...awww mak suka nyah bila ada ayat2 yg rhymes gitu

Azam tahun baru ? Yilek...

Tak yah susah2 la...dah 35 tahun penat pikir azam tahun baru only to be dissappointed with urself when the year ended without you achieving it. Kan membazir sel otak tu. We'll see what we have in store for 2011. Live ur life TODAY, NOW. Bawak2 muhasabah diri jugaklah..reminder to myself nih..

All my babies have entered school...sob sob

Bila :: 3 Jan 2011

Mana :: Sekitar Gombak
Siapa :: My 3 babies

Dalam kelam-kabut berjaya jugak aku pegi shopping keperluan sekolah anak2. Borong style enough to last them for at least 4-6mths depending on how frequent Hannah will be ransacking my stationery box.

New unipom for both Along & Adan. Rolls and rolls of book wrapper (yes, I am that old-skool) and stack of rulers, scissors, erasers and many many type of colors (got crayon, pencil, oil pastel blabla)

As usual, rule of the house, breakfast is a MUST and drinks would be either Milo or milk. Muka ceria sbb semua excited nk start tugas baru and dpt baju baru.

How fast time flies, Hanis is oredi 11 years old, another year and she'll be in secondary school. I'm not prepared to let my baby go just yet.

Adan looks handsome in his prefect uniform ( ignore the color). He's 9 and growing.

But that day was another special day as my youngest now officially entered the school-age, Along and Adan had been through many many 1st day of school but 3 Jan 2011 was Hannah's real 1st day of school.

Babah couldn't join the merry-ness as he gotta give way to his colleague who need to send off his 1st born to school. I tumpang-ed my neighbor to send her off and later pick her up myself.

Make sure that she had her milk and heavy breakfast as school would only provide snack during break. Knowing Hannah, snack won't be enuff so I packed her some cereal and cookies apart from plain water.

She's cool walopon muka sangat skema and lost.

dengan bespren, Efa, our next door neighbor

Sekolah baru, Hannah is the 1st batch

Now that all of them are growing up so fast, I do feel that I haven't done my best, there were many many moments which I regret that it happend and many many moment which I cherished. Something that I wished and planned but failed to execute. I can just hope that I would be a better parent to them and would be the one who they will turn to during good and bad times.

Ibu and babah love you all so so so much, nothing compares...
