Afeef at 8months 3 weeks

1) Makin ligat merangkak, xbole tinggal alone atas katil kejap, baru toleh sesaat dh smpi tebing.

2) Dulu masa kecik2, bile bangun malam nk nyusu Afeef cume merengek 'eh-eh-eh' je or buat 'suara hidung' (snorting), nowadays he's very vocal..haishh..bangun malam terus melalak xde warning dulu dh...

3) Pandai imitate org.

     a) Like, when I dribble a ball, he will make hand gestures as if he's dribbling the ball too. And when I give the ball to him, he'll tepuk2 the ball konon nk dribble ball la kn...hehehe.

     b) And sometimes (when he's not sleepy or hungry) when people waved hands at him bidding goodbye he'll wave back. Pandai kn Afeef Mama ni..

     c) Dah pandai kerut hidung buat gaya busuk. But when he does so, he doesn't mean to express "busuk" but he'll do it when he's excited or happy about something. He learned that from his Babah sbb Babah suke kerut hidung when laughing with Afeef. So Afeef bile sengih je mesti kerut hidung siap terangkat kening...sgt comell!

4) Babah dh turunkn cot die..so now we always put him in his cot whenever we want to leave him by himself. Tapi die pandai menjerit panggil org coz he's bored staying alone.

Dorothy Perkins Member Privilege Card

This spells D.A.N.G.E.R.

Just bought myself 2 Dorothy Perkins supergorgeous long shirts at Parkson KLCC, and they're totally gorgeous!

Hubby will be proud of me, for keeping to my words: PAKAI BAJU LABUH. (><)

Intended to buy just one, but later add another to round my receipt up to RM200 to be entitled to a membership with their chain of fashian retailers, and that includes Miss Selfridge and TopShop!!!!!

Oh no, I'm becoming more and more shopaholic now.

But d good thing bout this privilege card is (cewah, nk jugak sedapkn hati tu), the membership is free for life! Unlike La Senza, GAP and MotherCare, which are valid for only a year, pastu kene renew2, oh rugi2...

Since today coincidentally we get RM10 Parkson voucher for every RM100 spent and it is to be used by 31 December 2009, so I grab a Pumpkin Patch long sleeve t-shirt for my Chebol which was on 50% discount and cost me only RM21.50 after using an RM10 voucher, wow sgt murah!

A big fat pat on my shoulder for the wise spending, muehehe...

Random Updates: Afeef Milestone, Afeef's Food, Babah to Miri

While waiting for Afeef's porridge to be cooked, baik isi masa lpg with updating on Afeef's milestone, makin accelerated progress Afeef day by day, terkontang kanting Mama nk kejar haish si chebol ni...Tonight Mama made Chicken Broccoli Tomato Porridge but this time around, Mama put less broccoli since previously the Broccoli smell was too strong in d porridge. And no more putting in Carrot together in a Broccoli porridge since both has strong taste nnt jadi pelik rs mcm aritu (although afeef suke, but Mama xsuke). Now Mama makin terer masak Porridge Afeef pakai rice cooker. It took me only 1hr dis time around. wow hebat2! itu pn melenggang kangkung sambil2 wat mende lain.

**Wah wah wah Mama, bwk balik laptop konon nk continue officework yg way behind schedule (negative progress!!!) due to ML for 2 weeks straight heheh..**

This morning since Mama was supposed to send Babah to KLIA, we bathe Afeef earlier than usual, 5a.m you...so Afeef yg forever excited when it comes to bathing time tetibe pg ni tersgt2 cranky, smbil mandi mata bole tutup2 groggy..pdhal air dh smpi kepala! Kesian anak Mama, bukan ape, xnk susahkn Nek Ni nnt kene mandikan Afeef, nk suruh Bibik x percaya sgt sbb Afeef is still small. Routinely, after bathing him and while Mama keluar toilet to fetch his towel, Babah will play with Afeef in front of d mirror mcm dukung die and sergah2 muke sendiri dlm mirror and he always enjoy it! Tp pagi ni bile Babah wat mcm tu, meleding2 bdn die menjerit marah hahaha...Lps siap2 pakai diapers and baju (Mama sampai xsempat sapu lotion on Afeef, mata dh tutup dh En Amad tu smbil dressing him on), terus nyusu n tido dgn nyenyak nya..sian si Chebol.

So off we went to KLIA, ingat nk lalu PLUS to work, tetibe nmpk signboard MEX, laaa..why didn't I think of this earlier..ragu2, but after asking direction from budak McD (bought breakfast set to teman me in this long journey to work teheheee..), rase mcm confident sikit and would like to give it a try. Alhamdulillah xsesat and it took me only 45min from KLIA to Wisma Central, how amazing..sekejap sgt2 kn??

Today I went home early, rindu Babah so terus teringat Chebol a.k.a Babah Jr. n jiwa meronta2 nk balik awal. Sampai2 rumah, Bibik baru bwk Afeef & Fayyad keluar kt porch, as I drove the car to park, Afeef eyes were locked to the wheel, digesting the rotating motion of the wheel maybe. Then he stared at me for a while, xperasan who's inside d car maybe. I winded down the window, and after a while of waving at him, he ducked his head a little and seems like squinting his eyes a little (ye la tu Mama and her imaginations hehe..) just to be sure who it was, then baru realize, "Oh Mama ku pulang!" and start to smile his signature smile (mata smiling,mulut sengih senget n kening kiri terangkat sebelah) and kaki sebelah terkitai2 ke depan blkg (his usual gesture when he's pleased..)

Mama terus brought him inside our room, Mama needed a pee sgt2, menahan dr ofis hehe..
Afeef is now sgt2 ligat, dh bole merangkak slowly sgt comel mcm anak gajah learning his first step; tangan kanan angkat tinggi, mcm nk gerak langkah besar but then put down that hand at only 1 tiny step forward, followed by his left leg, mengesot ke depan also a tiny step forward, then tgn kiri angkat tinggi sgt and so on and so forth. Kalau letak atas katil tu, baru pusing nk amik towel je pun tgk die dh smpi tepi dh mengejar Mama takut Mama lari..Since I don't trust him alone on the bed (kalau Babah ade bole tgkkan, miss Babah lagi..), I put him in his pretty white cot instead and berlari2 ke toilet. As he heard the sound of the water running in the toilet, die panjangkn leher die menjenguk toilet and as soon as his eyes met mine, terus Afeef excited and pegang the cot's railing and stand up! He can stand up by himself now! Cepat2 Mama mencecet keluar to rescue Afeef yg badan dh nk menjunam keluar cot, pheww! This cot's height needs some adjustment as soon as Babah arrives home this thursday.

 Hmm...ngantuk dh ni, bubur pn dh siap masak n dh sejukkan to be stored in freezer pulak..Wah this time around I'm truly satisfied with my air tangan, rase bubur yg sgt sedap n very balance between chicken and veggies walaupun without a  bead of  salt! Diulang NO SALT! Wow! Tibe2 rindu sgt2 dkt Babah yg kt Miri now. Biase before going into bed mesti tenung smbil tersenyum sorang muke Babah and Afeef yg style tido sebijik sejabak saling xtumpah, dgn mulut tercopong, mata bukak sikit..hehehe...(according to Babah, muke tido je la, style terbongkang sama mcm Mama) Well right now only Afeef yg tgh terbongkak atas katil...

Allahuakbar!

This is the 3rd time actually, that Afeef stared silently at 'Momma' (his style of calling me) performing Solat. Bijak anak Momma ni..cute sgt! Normally before I pray, he was crying for my attention or because he's hungry. And sebab nak kejar waktu solat, I would ignore him and start praying. Tengah melalak yg x hengat ni, as though ade switch that turn his volume mute for a while, as soon as I stand in praying position he will sit still, unmoved not an inch, like a statue staring at me making no sound at all. Kalau 4 rakaat, 4 rakaat la die mcm tu...senyap and stare je. And after giving my second salam, which I will face him, I will smile at him, and he smiled back and start to merengek balik..haii geram betul Momma dgn budak genius seorang ni, bijak sgt Alhamdulillah..InsyaAllah ye syg, jadi Al-Hafiz mcm arwah Uncle Abang and Doctor macam Alang, Aminn..

Sempatkah kita?

How time flies. Rasenye dah ckp ayat ni 8 kali dh ke? (Sebab Afeef dah 8 months kn..) Kejap nye anak bujang Mama membesar bagai Johan. Sekejap je nanti anak Mama dah masuk sekolah, sempat ke x mama tgk Afeef masuk sekolah, masuk university and kahwin hanya Allah yg Maha Mengetahui and Maha Penentu segala sesuatu. Tugas kite sebagai hambaNya hanyalah berdoa, moga dipanjangkan umur, moga saat itu dapat dikecapi bersama, Aminn..

Genap Afeef 8 bulan genap la jugak sebulan arwah Uncle Abang meninggalkan dunia yang fana ini at a tender age of 18. Genap jugak 3 minggu Nek Mama meninggalkan dunia menyambut seruan Ilahi at the age of 44. Siapa sangka Afeef xsempat kenal Nek Mama yang selalu memeriahkan suasana rumah dgn gurau sendanya dgn Babah yang disambut leraian tawa the rest of the family, yang beri Afeef t-shirt hitam embroidered with Perth Australia the last time she saw you. Siape sangka Afeef xsempat main PSP and belajar mencontohi Uncle Abang yang xputus2 ayat2 suci al-Quran meniti di bibir setiap waktu walaupun kala bermain PS2 dan x lekang dr senyuman yang suke sgt panggil Afeef, "Muhammaaadd..". Semua ni takdir Allah swt. Mama selalu doa moga Allah panjangkan umur Mama and Babah agar dpt membimbing anak-anak kami dan dapat melihat permata2 kami membesar menjadi insan soleh and solehah...kita hanya mampu berdoa, dan berharap Allah swt perkenankan..Aminn..

Al-Fatihah dan ingatan rindu untuk arwah Moksu and arwah Akmal yang sentiasa amat dirindui..insyaAllah syurga buat kalian yang senantiasa penuh keimanan dan al-Quran di dada Aminn~

Afeef merajuk?

This morning as usual, Afeef cried dgn sayunye sampai mengalir2 air mata sbb nk susu. So groggily, I picked him up and laid him beside me to feed him. As he was latching on with closed eyes, Babah came near us sambil cakap, "Haih si cebol ni...tunggula nanti dah besar skit, umur dah setahun setgh, jaga die.." Bile Babah sebut "jaga die" tu terus mata die terbukak luas, mulut masih menyusu, and after finishing his sentence, Babah usap belakang Afeef, astonishingly terus Afeef nangis sayu. He stopped crying and continue menyusu when Babah stopped stroking his back. Aik, anak mama dah faham kene tegur ke?

Afeef's Milestone at 6month and 3 weeks

At this age, Afeef is developing really fast so Mama kene rajin skit update his milestone selalu, haih problem is, Mama is now an acting Project Engineer replacing Aunty Lily who is still on maternity leave, and her workspace is betul2 kt tengah2 bejana, susah betul Mama nak curi2 update blog, haih but I'll try my utmost best.

1) Suke main kiss2 n gomol2 dgn Mama. the game is like this; mule2 Mama kemam2 pipi Afeef yg cebol tu and he will tadah his cheek letting me bite for 3-4 times and he'll cepat2 pusing and bite my cheek back for a while and turn away his face sambil menghulur pipi die pulak so I can kemam again his cebol cheek, after letting 3-4 bites again and quickly turn towards my cheek, returning a few bites on my cheek and so on and so forth. Afeef is so funny!

2) Makin byk vocab. Kalau dulu just suke ckp mamamama or babababab and kalau babble mende pelik2 pn jarang2 la. But now babbles all the time and his babble is soo cute n funny like "Ate-te-te-teehh..Peteh-petehh-abooo-ake-ke-kiahh.." and ends his babble with main air liur pulak..

3) Suke sebut "Momma" more than "Babah". Whenever he's hungry, lonely or crying for attention, he'll cry "mommaa...mommaa..." and if still Mama xlayan or come to him, he will start a more alarming sound "mamamamamamamama....mamamamamama...!" and when I finally showed up slowed down his cry to "Mommaa....." as though expressing his relief upon seeing me. But for the record, this morning die nangis sebut Babah dulu a few times baru Mama...heheh, suke la tu Babah.. :)

4) Dah pandai mengamuk! Haih..susah hati mama, harap2 anak Mama ni bukan pemarah orangnya..pantang xdapat ape die nk, mesti menjerit2 sampai merah padam muka sambil badan dikeras2kan and dilentik2kan. Contohnye, he was pre-occupied with a packet of nestum yg tajam bucunye, when I took the nestum packet from him punyela marah, bg bende lain pn dh xnk. 2nd situation, bile lapar. Part ni mmg xdapek nek nolong. Afeef is such a happy weasel, always smiling walaupun tgh demam 38.8degC. Taaapiii kalau die lapar, mmg xbagi can, selagi xdpt susu selagi tu die akan menjerit. Mcm semlm, 1st time Afeef kene marah dgn Mama. I hate myself for doing so, but I thought to myself, I'm gonna hate myself even more and regret big time if he turns out being a spoilt brat when he grows older. Tapi lepas tu rase sedih sgt sbb marah baby Mama yg sgt cute n innocent ni. Takpe ye syg, it's for your own good too.. :)
