Adib is now in Standard One

Adib has been waiting since forever to enrol himself into SKIM. He even initially told me that we dont have to send him to school as he can just find his way to his class by asking any one of the teachers. Therefore, we have no problem at all sending him to primary school, not that we face any difficulties with the other older brothers.

These pictures were taken before all of us accompanied Adib for his orientation. See how excited he was.

During recess, I requested bibik to check on him...just to look from a distance if he able to buy what he wanted. He has been doing very well for the past 3 days.

Today, he actually asked me to come instead of Bibik...and the conversation were as below:

Adib: Mummy nanti datang masa rehat ya

Mummy: Mummy pakai kain batik leceh lah nak salin

***I was actually wearing my jeans as I just came back from the hospital**

Adib: tu mummy pakai jeans kan

Mummy: Ni sebab nak gi hospital, terpaksa lah pakai jeans

Adib: Pergi sekolah pun boleh jugak terpaksa pakai jeans. Kat sekolah ada ramai mak mak datang masa rehat dan ada SORANG BIBIK.

Mummy: Bibik sapa?

Adib: Bibik kite lahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

There you go.. our Mat Dib--

To Abang Chik, we wish you success......and BUAT HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The arrival of my youngest son, Ahmad Aariz

Finally our most awaited youngest son-Ahmad Aariz was safely delivered on Monday Dec13, 2010 at 2.52pm /6 muharam 1432. He is a premie, early by 9 weeks. All the boys' deliveries have their own special story/elements...like Along was delivered by caesarian for slow progress, Angah was induced for being 2 weeks late, then Abang Chik with umblical cords twirled around his body and our precious little Aariz was borned prematurely via emergency caesarian at week 31 of pregnancy.

It all started on Sunday Dec12th when i experienced regular contractions for every hour from as early as 5am---however, only at 7pm, i called my gynae and he asked me to go to the hospital.
After dinner, we went to the hospital, i was immediately strapped on CTG to check on the contractions and the baby's heartbeat. CTG showed that the contractions are really "hard contractions" , however the graph on the baby's heartbeats was not showing a good pattern, they were rather low and it went downwards when there was a contraction. That was when the doctor decided that he may need to prepare me for early delivery, so that nite i was admitted-- they gave me pills to stop the contractions and a jab for baby's lungs .

That nite, I still felt the hourly contractions, and in the morning CTG still showed a failing heartbeat. It was about noon when Doctor Khaled examined me and found out that my cervix was 2.5cm dilated-that was the moment of truth---it was then decided that i need to be sent to the General Hospital for emergency premature delivery (subjected to the GH specialist's opinion of course) - KSH do not do premature delivery less than 36 weeks.

Upon arrival at HTAA I was given a thorough check from the cervix, blood check, CTG, scan etc and finaly the specialist made her decision that i have to undergo an emergency caesarian....
i was scared ...really really scared -- i was scared thinking about Aariz and of course the operations. Felt like a blink, i was then wheeled to the operations theatre and unlike in the UK's GH, here in Malaysia husband is not allowed in the operation theatre :(

I was put on local anaesthetic, thus widely awake during the whole process but my whole body was trembling for some reason. At 2.52pm, i could feel something was detached from me, and the anaes told me that Aariz was out..safely delivered and like Abang Cik, there was no cries and that put me in another traumatic situation...I repeatedly asked the Anaes if my baby was ok and why there was no cries---and after a few seconds, i heard Aariz's first cry and god knows, that was the most soothing and calming sound i ever heard in my whole life.

Aariz only weighted 1.12kg at birth. He is very very very small. At this very moment , he is still in the hospital...progressing well and insyallah in a stable situation. We visit him daily and Abang Chik has been asking endlessly " bila Aariz nak balik rumah".....

All of us are patiently waiting for the day to bring home our precious one....We pray to Allah hoping for the day to come very soon and of course for his well being...Amin.

The Boys with Misha

These pictures were taken during our last month trip down to KL.

The friendship is basically an extension of our - the parents' -long relationship from A level to Uni until this very moment and insyallah to akhir hayat...

For some reasons , they are able to click well eventhough we dont really meet up that often...

Just ignore this little boy....

From Mohawk to Botak Chin

This is step to step from Mohawk to Botak Chin. We managed to get Adib's agreement because it's school holiday and no kids will tease him or something for being botak. We assured him by shaving his head early , the hair will have more time to grow again and by the time the school is opened he'll be dashing again :)

I got the barber to stop at this stage to capture this "mohawk" style-- as what the boys call it...kelakor!

Gardening

The boys were forced to help out during this gardening session last month...i was heavily pregnant ...cant let the bibik handling it all alone...so my only source of workforce are the boys...they did well....along with my "jeritan" (screaming and shouting)....

it was no slavery...they had great fun...

week one

week two

and the outcome.

Adib's graduation dinner

It was about 2weeks ago, Adib's kinder had their graduation dinner. This year is Adib's final year in kindergarten as he'll be in standard one next year thus, another most awaited event for the year.

Adib participated in 2 performances, one is the opening performance and another is tarian zapin. He has been practicising like 2 months before the event and we had no chance at all--- not a single chance--to get him performed or showed a step or two at home. He kept repeating that we got to wait for the day itself to see it...Adib , he always has his own thinking on things...so like it or not....we got to wait patiently.

He was one of the ushers with bunga manggar....

Then the opening dance...still holding the bunga manggar...

and the tarian zapin...there was a sketch before the dance and we didnt know that he was the main cast/dancer.....that really caught us by surprise , if only i knew...i would be standing right in front of the stage....he was smiling away to see our suprised faces...and he kept looking at us giggling and made us worried that he might forget his steps.....

I actually asked Adib the next day why he didnt tell us about his role in that Zapin dance and his answer was "kalau dah ceriter boring lah semua org dah tahu tak de lah surprise"

Mummy: ni cikgu yg ajar ke?

Adib: Tak ...adib yg pikir sendiri...

---i really dont know what went wrong but the kids' eyes became zombies' that nite :

The Graduation...

Dinner....

And the end of Tadika Indera Pintar....insyallah in 5 years time...we'll come back with Adik....

Mat Dib's wish....

Remember i wrote before that the boys were hoping for a baby sister...Along and Angah said just for mummy...their wish is to accomodate my "previous" wish.....As for Adib...he has been saying consistently that he wants a baby girl all along ....even after the ultrasound.

He told me, "if the baby is a girl, I'll take care of her but if he's a boy,I am going to bully him big time"...no laughing...very seriuos statement....

Then when aunty ann, delivered a girl, he told me to swap our baby with aunty ann's..I told him , that we cant do that because that the baby is the only girl for aunty ann... that makes him stopped, and digested the information....and later understood the circumstances...

Know what, he worried me...his statements and all..so one day...very recently...i talked to him..

mummy: adib , seriously are you ok having a baby brother?

adib--he looked at me and answered : ye lah mummy, adib suka adik lelaki...boleh main dgn adib...boleh main nerf guns boleh main batman....adib suka batman...adib bukan suka dgn barbie dolls....

God knows how relieved i am now....he was just being palyful and cheeky as he always does--- now i know, we are all prepared and looking forward for our youngest boy.... 102 days to go...
