Papaya's Orchard

Last weekend we followed Abah to a papaya orchard - no, we were not there to buy papaya- but just accompanied Abah to view a tractor for his farm......Nothing much to tell , just something different from our weekly tour in the mall...

Indera Pintar 10th Sport Day

Last sunday was Adib first sport day. All of us (including Bibik) were there giving our full support. Adib participated in 3 events, bawa air dlm mangkuk, giant shoes and baling bola dlm bakul--- actually those are compulsory for all pupils. For all 3 , the blue team -Adib's team , claimed for 3rd place....so he happily brought home 3 food containers- the prizes are actually standard way back from Along's time...very consistent...he..he..he...Anyhow , sports day is always an enjoyable family event...even more interesting with 2 elder brothers giving many many tips on running and what not.

registration...we were among the earliest, even the teachers were not ready..

bawa air dalam mangkuk....he was the slowest, others managed to do like 2-3 runs but his is only once

preparing for the marching

Our Big Baby

Last weekend we were getting ready to go out, and for the first time Adib managed to dress himself correctly from top to toe...and i praised him telling him how helpful he has been by getting ready all by himself...and i said to him " Adib dah besar lah"...and he replied asking me, " Boleh adib makan chewing gum?"....of course i denied telling him he is not big enough for that.

i was telling this story to Afi and Afi told me that just a day before, he actually brought home some gums and put them on his study or somewhere...suddenly Adib came to him, with one hand clenched a fist and asked him "Along, Adib dah besar ke kecik?"...Afi was curious so he did not answer straight away and then realised that Adib is actually holding a gum inside his fist...i bet the intention was to mouth that gum if the answer is "yes, adib dah besar"...so Along told him that he is a little boy not ready for the gum as yet...unwillingly adib returned the chewing gum to Along.....

To certain extend I think he has lived up to his name...."yang beradab"....."the polite"

once a upon a time when he was crazy about goggles

Chumad...

Was in JB for the weekend to visit our deraest Chumad..unfortunately Chumad was recently diagnosed with some kind of heart disease which has enlarged the size of his heart..With the sudden weight loss apart from the sickness itself, he has became very frail...you can just tell the pain by looking at his eyes....i had a moving emotion seeing him in his current condition.

Chumad and me...we have a long history between us...I was raised by my grandparents before started primary school... Chumad being the youngest from my mom side was a playmate during my childhood.... most often than not, he would reluctantly take the blame for any mischievous that caused by me.....i was the little girl-the first granddaughter and he was the big boy who failed to keep an eye on me....Even with all that, he would always "save"me outright when his one year older sister tried to hit me either for my bad behaviour or merely out of jealousy...well being the first grandchild did not promise affection from the floor.....he..he..he...

After seven solid years..i was taken by my parents to start my schooling...i was in KL for Year One and we then moved to Penang. As far as I can remember, i think i was 10 and Boy was 9 when Chumad would travel all the way from JB to Penang to pay us a visit almost every other school holiday...and he would treat us with an outing and cinema...If it's the year end holiday he would pick us up and bring us back to JB with him....so this routine was like the most awaited when school holidays started...

That is how far the ties has came about.......he is the first among the firsts to know what's new with me.....and also used to "play defense" for me...that was funny but it is a long story telling so we skip for now....

In many occassions we actually came to disagreements, on certain issues i came from the opposite school of thought and his is kind of traditional way of thinking......any how we can reconcile well in between.....he..he...

Chumad to me is like a older brother that i've never have...a someone who always stand by me and i know that he loves me so dearly just as much as i do to him or even more.......I pray to Allah for him to win this battle and get back kicking at his feet.........amin...

Birthday bash in Pekan

Last two weeks we had a birthday bash in Pekan covering for 4 ...kedaboom...he..he..it is not easy to gather all under one roof so that is the main reason....the party was for Akil- second birthday, Ketikna @ Qistina - 2nd birthday, Kakak- 8th b'day and Mukriz -12th b'day. Time flies very very fast ...I tot it was only recently i updated the blog with Qistina premature birth and Kakak's 7th birthday .....

Ketik Na is no more so kecik now...she was born really really tiny, mak dak scolded me when i measured her daughter to a botol kicap...seriously she was that size when i first saw her..


Akil-man or mat kokil is what we call this litlle toddler...he screams his heart out seeing abah...must be the misai....

The boys as usual hypnotised with PS.....
