Duit Raya

Over berbuka yesterday, I promised the boys RM50.00 for full month fasting and it drops to RM10.00 if they leave even one day purposely. So they were like wahhhhhhhhh-tak aci tak aci....previous years we fixed certain ringgits for a day (around RM2.00 per day - I think).

Along told Adib that Adib will get nothing as he is not fasting at all...I answered-as if Adib understand what is duit raya all about and I asked him, " Adib duit raya apa? Adib tahu tak?"

And he replied, "Duit raya tu duit untuk beli ice cream bila tak demam atau batuk"...


....................


As our house, is just a step away from abangs' primary school, every day we have the ice cream vendor made their stand besides our house. I've never left any cash to Adib so daily he will force Angah or Along or even Bibik to buy him ice cream. Certain days people may not be able to fulfill his request and he will get very upset and start complaining this and that to me...but still i dont give a dime to him......


I guess this is the reason for his definition of duit raya......

Another mischievous act from you know who

The first day for sahur , saturday morning we had it at home..., all of us sahur except for Adib for obvious reason...he is just a baby...After sahur and subuh,I continued my sleep but the boys stayed awake and by then Adib was fully awaked already and they watched tv together.

About 9am, i woked up and realised that my laptop was not in my room so i called for Adib and he told me that Along was playing CSO. Then I enquired him who took out the laptop, he told me he did...then I asked him who permitted him to do that...and he said I did..

I was fast asleep-- there is no way that I can talk in my sleep...I remembered he came over and wanted to lie beside me then after a while he's gone again...

He assured me that he did ask for my premission and i asked him how?..Know what, this is his own confession...he did came to my room ask for my permission, but he only miming the words without any sounds came out from his mouth....at that point i just laugh out loud...

Later Along told me, while watching tv adib asked if they can use the laptop, then Along requested him to get permission. He walked to my room , stood at the door and mimed the words, then went to Along and told him that he talked alone in the room as mummy was sleeping.

Then Along asked him to go in again and ask properly....and he did it in his own way. Second attempt he walked out with the laptop bag in his hand....and confidently told Along that permission granted....after a few minutes playiing CSO, Adib made a confession that he actually just miming the words and mummy was not moving at all..........

Along was hysterically laughing all the way while reciting the incident..and all of us did too!

1st Ramadan in Pekan

1st ramadan of 2009, after piano lesson we shot to Pekan for our first "berbuka puasa" this year. So happened, all Abah's siblings also came back except for Cik Ti and Cik La (+Mat Akil and Amani) who are now in KT visiting Cik La's mother. The house was pretty pack but it is always fun having all under one roof.....Unfortunately I dont have any picture of the food, its ramadan...food is irresistible, that I've totally forgotten to snap any picture....Everything is home made - except for murtabak mekasar....best thing is i got my favourite bubuk lambok...yummy..

That afternoon, there is a session of native chicken slaughtering...they are from Duan's farm-RM8 sekilo discounted price....anybody interested??? call Duan...

Ayah Joe tangkap ayam...Abah cabut bulu tengkuk.....

Testing the knife again....Angah ran off...shouting "violence!!!!!"

All together 10 chickens

Ayah Joe

Abah and Ayah Chik processed the chickens

Miss cutie...Le-Cha

A taller Adib...

Just recently we realised that now Adib can reach the toilet switch himself. He used to shout for someone to help him with the switch whenever he needs to use the toilet...but no more now.
Gosh...he's growing fast....

Episod "Jatuh"/Accidents

Last weekend we have 2 accidents in the house...first one while mummy was doing some cleaning in the kitchen...Adib joyously ran down the stairs calling my name when suddenly i heard a boom then about half a second later another boom ...then Along screamed out loud for Adib..I ran out of the kitchen...then "kedepek"...and Adib cried his heart out...the fall was like a slow motion movie....and i think the tears was more due to his own shock than pain...Funny thing happened after the final fall -when abah ran down the stairs screaming "Ya Allah...YaAllah"...it was hilarious because the reaction was like a minute or two late. I was actually refrained myself from laughing....we had a good laugh over dinner reciting this incident.

Second accident was when Angah smashed a plate while taking it to the kitchen after lunch. My immediate reaction was "hah main lagi" and abah's was "should have taken the plate the first time we instructed you to"..Adib was actually walking behind Angah and Along was beside Adib....Angah spontaneously screamed blaming Adib of pushing him and ran upstairs into his room, hide under his blanket and cried.Angah is actually a bit of a drama queen so that reaction of his was to certain extend expected. Adib denied the accusation and Along concurred that Adib is right-and added a point saying he saw Angah's hand was shaky carrying the plate. I went upstair to console Angah telling him that it is alright and just be more careful next time but he was just angry with Abah- abah was playfully asking for a replacement.

Later that night,we talked about the incident...and we were commented to Angah that he should stop doing his "drama queen" reaction ..Angah still blamed Adib and Along continued to oppose the blame....then suddenly Adib spoke out of the blue "mummy,sebenarnya Along yang tolak Adib lepas tu Adib terlanggar Angah dan pinggan tu jatuh".....Along shouted and laughed at the same time..Adib ran to save himself....and they shouted and kicked each other....

At the end...I dont know who's story is the right one...or maybe...I know:)

Kelapa muda with Aki

Apart of chasing each other around the house, scaring the chickens or just fooling around with all sort of games that they can think of - another favourite activity in Pekan is to drink kepala muda - pluck the coconut straight from the tree, after that Aki will cut the outer part and the boys will drink from the coconut itself...

Aki is one very kind hearted soul i have ever encountered...Loving Aki comes naturally and the boys just adore him dearly....
