Girls Day Out To Hair Saloon

My princess and baby wanted to have the experience having their hair cut at the hair saloon. And not just hair cut alone, also to have their hair wash as well. I played along since I have not taken them out, just them for ages.

I left my hero with my better half for supposedly a guy's day out but deep down inside, I know they would rather spend their time with us, of course not in the hair saloon.

My baby loved the hair wash, she kept on saying how refresh she felt having someone to wash her hair, and to top that, having her hair blown.

There was only one hair dresser that day hence the waiting period was quite long to the extend I fell asleep on the couch while waiting. Mama penatlah...

By the way, thinking of getting a body massage, can anyone recommend a good place to go...

Sweet mangoes

The cuties love mangoes. They can eat really loads of this. So, when there's pasar malam in our housing area, we will make sure we will purchase some mangoes for the cuties.

My better half would always(actually, all the time, I never like this part) be the one doing the cutting and slicing the mangoes while the cuties would gather around him and wait for their turn to get the sliced fruit. And they tend to fight for the seeds. I guess, eating the fruit's seeds has always been my favourite since I was a little child. This is just so enjoyable and I can't actually explain why.

My princess enjoying her mango while watching TV. Relax giler kan?

But, a mother will always be a mother. They will continue to hear me nagging for them not to eat too much of this, nanti demam.

Happy faces!!!

No write up, just happy faces over that weekend before I started having my hectic scheduling, in and out of meetings, working from home and so on so forth....The week where kat opis bersilat, kat rumah bersilat jugak, so enjoy this happy faces yer!
If you notice, my hero is not in the pics kan. Lately nie, he just don't like for his pics to be taken. Tak macho lah tu!

A delayed and advance birthday celebration

So many things going on in our life. So good, some bad, and that's how life should be.

With all this going on, sometimes things just could not happen as scheduled. Just like the celebration for my 2 little girls birthday.

We celebrated their birthday not on time. Baby's birthday was celebrated more than a week late and princess's birthday was a day early. We combined this 2 celebrations in one since it's only over a week apart.

We had the celebration back at my parent's place in Kelana Jaya. Just a simple celebration with take out food like sate, fried mee hoon and other delicious stuff. Iwan and family was there as well to join the fun.

My hero led the doa recital. He is really getting better at this.

We planned another big celebration later in May Insyallah to celebrate the cuties birthday(my hero's will be early June). It ala again depends on the "B". With "B", the event may be bigger.

Having dinner with family is simply priceless.......

It's all about cupcakes

We were ordering cupcakes every other week. Both for the birthday girls to bring to school to be shared with their friends.

This one was for my baby's birthday. I was not that happy with this cupcakes. It was not as nice as I thought it will be and to make matter worse, my baby's name was mispelled. So, not going to recommend this supplier to you all.

And this one for my princess's birthday. And this one was nicely done. Love it, the look, the taste and the speedy delivery. Interested, visit this blog.

But the bottom line is, my 2 girls had so much fun at school, and that's what matter the most.

My princess is about to enter her teen years......

A week after celebrating my baby's birthday, now it's time to celebrate my princess birthday.

She is 11 today, sharp at 11.11am. We named her Nur Amira Syafiqa which means Cahaya Pemimpin yang lemah lembut

Let me share with you my experience raising my little princess.

For those who have been diligently reading this blog, would know I got married at the age of 20. After 4 months of marriage, I was told that I'm pregnant. This was a pleasant news despite the fact I was still studying and was in final year to complete my course. Alhamdulilah......

Carrying Mira was a breeze. I don't experience morning sickness or even tired. I was really energetic through out the pregnancy and was sitting for my final exam while I was 8 months pregnant. However, during this pregnancy, I love Big Mac and towards the end of the pregnancy, I was practically having Big Mac everyday until the McD counter girl knew what I want even before I reached the counter.

When she was a baby, it was a challenge, she had problems sleeping at night and would usually cry. One night we even took her for a drive at 2am just to get her to sleep cause she only sleeps when she is in the car. I nearly went nuts during this period due to lack of sleep and rest.

Mira has always been a smart girl. She started to walk when she was about 10 months old. I remembered she would woke up in the middle of the night practising in the court until she got it right. I can see her determination and like she knew I was already pregnant with my hero and she did not bother me that much. She was really attached to me though, not wanting to be with my better half.

Mira knows her ABC when she was 2 and a half years old and before she was 4, she already know how to read. She loves reading so much that sometimes she will quietly switch on the light in her room at night just to finish her books.

Mira loves girlish stuff, contradict to Baby. She loves anything which has butterfly themes on it. She loves pink and love playing dressing up. Apart from that, she loves singing and she always pretended like she is performing on stage and everyone is cheering for her.

Mira loves watching malay drama which I think she got that from my mom. When I come back from work, she will update me with the latest development on the dramas she watched with full of expression.

When Mira was born, life was difficult for us financially. Until now, I feel guilty for not being able to provide a better life before. We used the cheapest diapers, cheapest milk formula and simple to say cheapest of everything. She don't get out of the house that often and she did not enjoy lavish food. I think that is why now I want to provide her whatever that we can afford.

Mira always scores the top 3 in her class whether primary school or religious school. She is very smart and her teachers love her. She is also active in activities and would want to participate in whatever contest available. She won most of them and if she didn't she will always wants to try again. She has also khatam Quran last year.

Now the negative part, Mira is hostile towards her sibblings. Sometimes, I felt that she priorities her friends more than her sibblings. She would pout if she didn't get what she wants and love to throw a tantrum and feel she is being mistreated, like we are unfair towards her. I am still trying to change this negative attitude, the last thing any parents want is for the kids to be fighting with each other!

Nevertheless, I love her soooo much and she is my princess. She is my sweet little princess and hope she will grow up to be anak yang soleh, and able to take care of her sibblings. I know deep down inside she loves her sibblings so much, perhaps just not good at expressing it.

Happy Birthday Mira. Mama sayang Mira sangat2. Belajar rajin2 and jangan lupa solat!

My princess vocal performance

She may not sound good to some but she sounded like an angel to me...Another proud moments beng a mother!!!

Princess Nasyid's Competition

Another hectic weekend indeed. Just when we thought we can wake up late this weekend, we just have to put that on hold, at least not on Saturday.

The way the day started was very funny. In the letter from my princess's school stated the venue of the event will be at Sekolah Alam Shah and did not indicate where is the school. And I thought it was the school located in Putra Jaya.

The event was supposed to start at 8am and we arrived right in front of the school 5 minutes before 8am. The school was pretty quiet, like nothing is happening in the school. We asked the guard and he has no clue what event we are talking about. My princess not having any contact numbers of the teachers or her friends was certainly no helping. I then decided to call the school and alhamdulilah somebody answered. But the person was not sure where exactly the event was at so she gave me the ustazah's hubby's phone number(that's what she declared to school...shish!). Called the hubby and finally got hold of the ustazah's number. Then only I got to know.....The school is actually Sekolah Alam Shah 2 in PETALING JAYA NOT PUTRA JAYA!!! Haiyooo, jauh tu. Sempat ke sampai before the contest start.

If there is anytime I am glad people are not punctual, this will be the time. We arrived around 9.15am and the event hasn't even started. As usual, waiting for the VIP to arrive to launch the event....Lama giler tu...We even get to have breakfast at the school's canteen.

The event went very well. Though my princess did not win anything, I am so happy and proud of her. Was holding my tears when she was doing her solo. Never thought she has so much of self confidence...My hero and my baby were also amazed with their sister's performance. Duduk pun first class, right in front of the stage.

We allowed the cuties to go back to school via the school bus. They wanted to do that so badly so, don't want to dissapoint. We then picked them up at school.
On the way back home, mentally doing the checklists of things to do...Banyak nyer..


Lookout for the next entry, my princess doing her solo!

What should I tell her?

Yup, of course the answer is to tell her the truth. I know that. So, let me rephrase the question, how should I tell her...hmmm, what's her question again, and who is the her we are talking about?

Yesterday, on the way back from work, my princess asked me about what will happen to her if she "datang bulan" and is it painful? I nearly choked my own sliver and did not see this one coming.

Apparently, one of her good friend got her period last week so that's is why she become so curious about it. Being a mom who always think that my daughter is still this very small little girl that I still can carry and cuddle, I have yet to prepare myself with this kind of questions. And I don't have any experience about this kind of thing.

My better half told me to just tell her what my mom told me. The problem is when I got my period, I was in my hostel in a boarding school and away from my mom. Hence, I handled this myself with the help of few friends of course. Still recall them putting warm water in a bottle and then placed it on my tummy to ease the cramp.

So, back to the question, how should I tell her this. What is the right way to tell her? How can I make her understand the responsibilities once you have your period and the repercussions if you don't take care of yourself.

It's tough being a mom...and just when people think it gets easier when the children are all grown up (at least that's what people keep telling me, "ko senang lah, anak dah besar2), wait till this children grow up, then they will finally know how I feel....

Minah Drama

My princess has been a drama fan. Segala drama she will follow. During school holidays was worse! And when I come back from work, she will start to update me on the latest happenings of the drama.

When school starts, I will not allow the cuties to watch TV on school nite. So, TV can only be accessed from Friday nite till Sunday evening, curfew at 7pm. Other than that, no TV allowed.

Last Friday, she asked for my permission whether we can leave early after dinner as she wanted to watch Gerak Khas. Not to dissapoint her, I said yes.

I am wondering and still wondering we did she get this from, I am not really into this drama thing, takkan my better half kot?

Baby nak abang!!!

While waiting for my hero to complete his procedure, my baby was so restless. That was predicted as she is the closest to her abang. She kept on asking "Bila abang nak sudah nie"... and start to berguling here and there in the waiting room. Everytime the door opens, she will start running and have a look...and gets dissapointed everytime...

After my hero completed his treatment, he needs another one hour to recover. Since my better half has not eaten anything since morning, he thought it will be a good idea to bring my baby together to accompany my better half for breakfast. Of course, my princess would want to tag along.

There is a 1901 just outside the entrance of the hospital. So, that place was chosen as our temporary lepak place.

And Baby was still waiting impatiently for her abang.......

Making the goodie bags...

Dah makan kan? So, now let's start working ok....

I have boiled the eggs earlier, they just need to attach this to the bunga telur. We had chosen gree this time, no special reason, just that when we went to Nilai 3 to make purchases, green caught our attention. We also bought packs of potpouri. This is also to be included in the goodie bags.

The cuties, adik and my 2 darling nephews were having fun while doing this. I can hear them laughing away, teasing each other from the kitchen. I love this riuh environment, macam nak kenduri kendara besar lak kan?

My princess and my baby having their own fun. Though they know what the event is for, they did not show any discomfort in preparing this. I hope this kind of behaviour will continue until they grow up. It's scare me if they start fighting with each other and their relationship start to fall apart....

After competing this task, I told them to go to bed. We have to wake up early tomorrow....Banyak keje lagi nie...

Reciting the Quran

Is it my fault I was in tears when I saw her reciting this?? My better half was laughing and wondering why was I crying. Only mothers do understand kan?

Pengubat Duka

My hero was invited to a birthday party and the invitation was not extended to my princess and my baby. I know the girls were quite dissapointed considering they have always been going places together. They even walked the brother right in front of the gate of the birthday boy with the hope that they will be invited in...but.......

So, my better half decided to bring them for a treat instead, and Secret Recipe was the best option.

My baby had mushroom soup

My princess had spagetti meatballs & chocolate shake (oreo)

My better half had the chicken burger

And I just had the spring roll(kan akak diet...)

We also gave them an extended treat, ice cream!!!

This is a good lesson for them actually. Hope this will teach them, as they grow up they will have different set of activities and friends...But, nevertheless, I still hope they can continue to be closed to each other like how they are now....

Major Milestones

I think I have shared my feelings on this occassion...

Let the picture tell the whole stories....


I had a great time, and for the numerous times, I am so proud of all my 3 cuties!!
