27 Months

Mia & Grandpa


My dear sweetpea,

You are so smart my 27 month old baby! Last month, just after you turned 26 months, we were at the petrol station and you surprised me. You were looking at the signage on the wall, pointed to the symbol of the key and said "open door", then you pointed to the crossed out picture of a mobile phone and said "Off phone". So Pintar!

At the end of last month, you attended Abang Rayyan's birthday party at Riverview. Mummy had to host mummys' friends bridal shower at home so daddy dropped you & your nanny off. At the end of the day, I picked you up. In the car, mummy was discussing dinner menu's with your nanny and asked whether we should cook for dinner or not. Since we (me, your daddy & nanny) were full from eating all day, we decided not to cook for dinner, then you blurted out, "I eating cake!" We figured you were telling us you were also not hungry as you had cake at the party.

That night you slept early but woke up in the middle of the night and told daddy all about your day. You said "Simming with Kaka Ten-ten, Den slide with kaka Ten-ten, abang Irshad and Kaka Risha." Then you said this, "I simming, bubbles, Ooo hot." It took me a while to click but I finally realized you were referring to the Jacuzzi! Haha

News Flash! You now know how to put on and take off your crocs. As for your clothes, you can easily take them off, but getting dressed is still difficult for you. Yayy for you!

Earlier this month was a very tiring time for mummy. You had a very high fever, recovered then had a runny nose followed by a cough then ended with vomitting in my car, twice! Nevertheless, after your high fever, you became more fluent with your words and talked non-stop. Grandma said your Datuk Cacin used to say, babies usually would get more pandai (at something) after a fever and he was right. Al-Fatihah for Datuk. I wish he was here to see you. Bringing down your fever was quite a difficult task as you did not like using the 'KoolFever' strip. Whenever you saw it, you would say, "Its ok, don need, ok mummy." Belabih much! But one good thing is that you willing took your medicine. Your Mami'mimi gave us some children's telenol strawberry-flavoured tablets and you seem to love them. You kept on saying, "Mummy, I take stawbeli obat." The first night of your fever, you woke up and started singing the ABC song, repeatedly. I think this went on for an hour or so. Because you were so sick, I asked you if you wanted me to buy you a "Twilight Turtle". I explained to you that this Turtle was special but you would have to sleep in your own bed to accompany him to sleep. If you switched him on, you would be able to see the moon & stars on the ceiling. You were so excited and said yes, you wanted the turtle & yes you would sleep in your own bed (which didn't last long! haha) I told you I would buy it for you after I finish work then you said, "Mummy buy turtle, moon and star, okay." The moment I got home, the first thing you said was, "Mummy, where my turtle?" Such a cheeky bugger! haha

Mr. Twilight Turtle


Nowadays I like pointing to the mole on my right palm and ask you what it is, you would say "Tahi Rarat"..hehe...and if I ask you why can't we touch dogs, you would say "Hanam". The other Sunday we met up with Grandma, Granpa & Uncle Azim at Mamih for brunch. When we sat down, you saw some cats & kittens outside, you amazed me when you suddenly said, "Awwwww, so koot." You crack me up most of the time with your cute self-made sentences. At least you are trying baby, thats what counts. We were writing the other day and you wanted to have a go, you confidently said, "I Want to turn Me", which I assume was 'My turn'. You now say "Me turn, me turn". Finally, you know how to correctly complete my sentence, When we are at the traffic lights, I would say, "Green for" and you would say "Go" then I'd say Red for "Stop". Yayy!

As I said before, since your fever, your word knowledge has increased. A new word I've heard come from you is "Storybook". Daddy has a storybook application on his phone and one night at the dinner table while daddy was having dinner, you asked to borrow his phone, you said, "I want see storybook, ok". Another new word is "Kan". You would say, "Auntie sakit, kan" or "Cat smelly kan"...haha...anak melayu :) Owh, and your latest sentence is "Noooo...NOT Mia" or "Noooo...not mummy."

My beautiful princess, you never cease to make me laugh or smile. Sometimes, especially now, I may scold you and it may seem that I am angry with you. Sometimes its because I am trying to make sure you are disciplined and you grow up knowing right from wrong. I hope you never hate me for it. You must know though, no matter what, mummy will always love you!

Buddies for life!

First Weekend of February

Dear Amellia,

We had an eventful weekend last week. Since Thursday was Chinese New Year, Mummy took Friday off too so I could have a long weekend with you. It was a busy weekend for both of us. On Chinese New Year, you went CNY visiting with Mami Nah & Daddy Shaz. I think you had a jolly good time as you were fast asleep by the time you came home around Maghrib.


All ready for Chinese Hari Raya

The following day was a big day for your Auntie Wiwi. She was finally tying the knot. On this day you also got to meet your Auntie Farisah. You wore your cute little jubah which Mami'mimi bought. Though it was a tad bit too big, you looked so cute...very muslimah (without the hijab)

On Saturday, since we had nothing to do and daddy wasn't home, we went to Jungle Gym for a couple of hours then met up with Grandma for Tea. On Sunday, we met up with Grandpa, Grandma & Uncle Azim at Mamih for Brunch then dashed home to get ready for Kaka Zara's 6th Birthday at RBRC Poolside.
