Dils Stop .

I should. Maybe it should be of my trip to Siem Reap which was great. But I am much too blergh to write.  Because I am now 10 weeks pregnant with the worst case of morning sickness I had ever experience.  Warning: Just puke related complain ahead. I had morning sickness when I was carrying the 2 boys before. But this one.... this one takes the cake. I hope this baby is the best baby who would grow up to be the best person ever because you are putting mommy through the wringer here. ( I want to say hell, but there are plenty of mothers who are going through difficult health problems while carrying their baby... so yes, not actual hell yet). However this is my space to complain so I shall complain.  I was elated to find out I was pregnant because I really want a third and I feel like it is better 2 or 3 years apart among siblings. So Yeay. It also means I had put off finding jobs because going to interview while holding the need to puke is not exactly appe...

It had been a while. Was I busy? I guess I was... anyway, keep trying to update but then there are other things to do. What I had been up to? House chores I guess. Going to classes. Oh yeah, I quit my job. The commute is terrible. And I feel like it is too demanding a bit, especially those late night and frantic phone calls whenever my kids are sick. So I am kinda a housewife. I don't say I love it, but I don't hate it also. Been trying to find suitable job but it is hella difficult. Also I am a bit picky. LOL. I have to be because I got some limitations. But I don't feel like explaining why I quit my job because holy hell aint people judgmental about that. I mean not like me not having a job is gonna affect these people with opinions, but that does not stop them from expressing it. So I dont feel like saying it in FB especially because you know how FB can be like. IGs is a place for my cats so that is not really applicable. My friends knew, well some, but I am not e...

This year instead of the BBW sale, I much more antcipated this Popular Warehouse Sale because it is cheaper. RM5 instead of RM8 the usual in BBW . Like the previous year it was held in Vivo Home Shopping Mall .  Went there on Thursday night, spent about an hour. Dont get to browse much because I was tired . And the rows of books are like these.  The Popular Warehouse Sale do not have such a wide range of bestsellers normally seen at BBW, but maybe I don't really have the time to dig through. However one thing I like about the Popular Warehouse sale, there is some pretty good stationery and some toys.  Was thrilled to find the lapdesk, which is around RM24 I think, because I was looking for something similar since I am now using my husband old Surface and the Surface needs a pretty sturdy flat surface for me to use it properly with a keyboard, bought some toys for the kids. The Hot Wheels cost RM10.99 for 2.  Also bought a magnetic b...

Yes the title is different, but this feels more apt lah Everyone was clamoring for this book when it first came out. But then silence. No gushes on how good it was or "shit..  so Ron/Harry/Snape/Hermione do whatevs".  Now the summary is, it is set just before Albus Snape Potter started his Hogwarts year. He befriended Draco's son. And basically dark forces are still in play even though the good side had win, thus Harry as the Head of the Magical Law Enforcement had his hands full. He also have quite a strained relationship with Albus . So the story is mostly centered on Albus.  As for the review... let just say, this is not a book. This is a screenplay because JK Rowling I guess feels like the other people who can't go to London to see their play also deserved to know the story. Which is kinda true. So the book feels bare-boned and without a soul.  It delighted me that Albus went to Hogwarts but it also makes me yearn for all those description...

First of all I wanna start with the Raya of 2016 updates. What the eff la Dils, raya is like ages ago. Buttt... well, nothing special pon, though I manage to wake up late masa raya which pissed off my husband, huhu, stress tul. But no worries afterwards lepas tu ok je.  I aint feeling like uploading one Raya pic because there is no decent ones except of the kids and those are in FB so biar lah. But masa raya ke 3 tu, we went to Kluang to visit some relatives and came back with these cute bicycle.  Aziz is not thrilled that he have to kayuh beca for his baby brother. Anyway, the bicycle is safe enough but I was upstairs when it happened , it seems like around 10 pm after we finish beraya and the kids are still hyped up , they were playing downstairs and heard suddenly Saif cried like I never heard before. You know the difference la kan, if your kid nangis jatuh sebab sakit, or nangis sebab something is like seriously wrong. So it seems like somehow when trying t...

I am checking the name list of past and present employees in my company currently. There are 16k of them. This is a sucky job. Anywayy.. it does gives me a glimpse on how we Malaysians name their kids.. 1. So many A. So many name start with As . 2. Not enough C. 3. Someone name their son Awie. Peminat rock kapak. 4. There is also a someone who name their kid Erra Fazira ( a somewhat different spelling so I am being a p&c here to not divulge the full name). Maybe Erra and Awie should meet. 5. There are way too many Danial and its variantions in Malaysia. And Fariz. And Farah. 6. Short names are the best. Also when Aziz need to be in a hospital before, I was very very thankful that I have a very short name. It gets so very tiring filling up so many forms. 

Will jot down more. Because will seriously have more time later on. Now off being busy. Yeuch. 

Selamat Berpuasa.  I may need to start taking vitamin. After the rotavirus, I am now down with flu/demam, who knows.  Traffic is horrendous.  Buka puasa yesterday was a feat in itself as I reached home near 7pm dan bile azan baru I masak dengan terketar2 because I am sick.  Hence today no cooking. Beli lah ape2 kat bazaar.  But not puasa-ing anyway because my period came early during the 3rd day of puasa. At 6.30 pm.  We went to buka puasa at Thaba Village and they said this year is their last Ramadhan buffet. T_T  Last weekend I was at the computer table next to the printer. Saif sidled up next to me, open up the printer output tray , take out a sliced bread I remember giving them the the previous weekend and start eating it. And I saw in the printer tray there is another bread. OMG. I can't stop laughing.  There are currently A LOT of kittens pooping at my yard. The next door kittens. I just tak larat to clean o...

It had been silent for a while because I had been tired. My husband was out of town for about a month and a few days before he is due back, bile I nk pick up my kids from my sister's house she mentioned that Aziz keeps on puking everything. Later that night, it was just not him, it was him and his brother. So on Thursday , took an EL and brought them to the hosp. Saif is cheerful even though with the puking and pooping but Aziz is wiped out. Their usual doctors is on leave so brought them to another doctor because I am concerned looking at Aziz who was actually puking at the hospital reception. Perbezaan tenaga adik dan abang boleh nampak dari segi gaya.  Doctor believed this might be a rotavirus going around because it seems like there is an epidemic going around at the moment, and have to watch Aziz closely. By the next day he was not any worse but not any better also. So I SMS his doctor and he asked me to bring him to the hospital. Leave Saif at my sister ho...

So I was ironing some clothes last night while Aziz is watching Phineas and Ferb. Last night episode was where the gangs were travelling to outer space in their rockets.  So after the episode finished Aziz sidled up to me and said  "Mommy, Aziz nak roket. Aziz nak naik roket".  I asked him, " Mana nak cari roket."  " Mommy pergi lah kedai roket." Ah. To his almost 4 year old brain, everything came ready made in a shop.  " Tadek orang jual roket, Aziz kalau nak naik rocket kena belajar pandai2, pandai baca, pandai tulis.."  Well.. couldn't really finish off extremely important life lesson to my first born because he had wandered off to watch tv because if you can't buy it, he is not interested anymore. 

I was really hankering for a holiday, so we decided on a short one at Langkawi. I have to say it is much too short. Maybe I should have make it longer, but my leave is not that much so macam malas nak amik. This time we flew to Langkawi by Malindo Air. We got a good deal at around RM500 for all. We decided for just a short 3 days 2 nights. Not enough! Sobs. Anyway. We stay at Frangipani, because I love the Pantai Cenang and Tengah area. It would not bore me to death say if I were to stuck in a big resort and walkable. We were fortunate that when we arrived, husband requested for Viva and we got an Alza, nasib baik sebab bag besar kut. Campor stroller lagi. Kalau tak terpaksa la kami meriba stroller. Then we arrived at the hotel and got upgraded from a deluxe room to a garden villa. Soo happy! Because that means the kids can be loud and we don't have to worry so much on the noise. Heh. We didn't do much. The first day I directly went shopp...

Felt like updating about the kids. The pic above is taken when I took him for a gym class about a few weeks back. He was crying for a while then warm up when he realized he is having fun. Been meaning to blog about it, but nantilah.  He is like 95% diaper free. He don't wear diapers in the day, and for about a week or two in the night too. But if the room is a bit cold, he would pee again. So the diaper is on again. 2 steps forward 1 step back. Thats ok. I think he will get there. He can go to the bathroom himself and wash himself too. I had seen how he wash himself and he washes his hands too. Only have to keep reminding him about flushing the toilet. LOL. Such a good boy.  He is also a good helper. I can mostly count on him to fetch things and he is always wanting to help. And give suggestions freely too. I was thinking of baking cookies and asking him to sort maybe as a first step. I think he will like it. The hindrance of course is baby brother also mahu ...

It is Friday, and compared to last week Friday, today is a much more mellower Friday. Thus. I like!  Last Friday was insane. There was an issue of sorts, and then my boss started berating me in front of everybody basically saying I am not doing my jobs in updating stuffs ( which I did, he have selective memory is our running jokes in this office) .  I was in the midst of updating ( and I am not really feeling to tell the whole story here about the issues, biasa la issues at work kan, lagi2 if dealing with payroll) and he basically stopped me halfway in doing my job, just to vent. All the while he is 'bla bla bla ing' I was thinking... this is not productive at all. So I just stopped him and go somewhere else to get updates. Honestly. Most of the time when he is berating, he just wants to vent. But last week, I just can't. Don't vent in the middle of the office boleh?  Ok. So that is my vent.  Anyway, I had been firing my up my oven recently. Maybe bec...

I first watched True Blood but then it becomes a tad unwatchable after Season 3 I think. Sookies just seems a lot whiny to me. Someone tells me to try to read the books because Sookie Stackhouse is a much more acceptable heroine in the books. That is usually the case pon kan.  Kurang 3 books, this is a 13 series books. Took me a year to finish all.  So the novels series by Charlaine Harris ; The Southern Vampire Mysteries basically chronicled Sookie's life. I would say the timeline from she first meet Bill to the last book event is maybe give or take 5 years? Around book 6 or 7, I was thinking, damn Sookie have a lot of near death events. I think towards the end, even Charlaine Harris thinks it had become a tad bit ludicrous.  I don't feel like posting a synopsis, because almost everybody knows of True Blood. I only watched the last episode of True Blood just to see how it ends, and I like how the series end. For the book, I am quite satisfied with it too....

I mentioned last birthday, I requested for the most unromantic request. A robotic vacuum cleaner.  Frankly I am tired of vacuuming everyday and feeling bits and pieces at my feet whenever I walked in the house.  With 2 toddlers and 4 cats, the house can accumulate quite a pile of dirt and dust. So masa Maybank treats fair tahun lepas , I remembered I was absolutely transfixed at the Neato showroom. Tapi time tu macam malas nak beli sebab I don't know anything about the product yet and to throw down a lot of money on a whim is a little scary.  So my birthday came, and I insisted to have a vacuum. Robotic vacuum cleaner would be more beneficial to my well being than a diamond. And make cleaning the house chores a bit faster . Anything that lessen house chores is a plus.  So while my husband is ready to look into Ecovacs , I remembered that Neato booth and I remembered how I like that it is the 'smart' type of robot vacuum. My requirements goes like...

This morning while I am rushing here and there everywhere to get the kids into the car. "Mommy .. Tawan2 Aziz ( *kawan in Aziz pelatness) sume ade barang tawasss, Aziz je sorang tadek"  Aziz said this with a really mournful voice. Like it is the most unfair thing ever.  " Haa. Tawas ?? Aziz nak ape? Aziz tadek cawan kee"  "Bukaannn.. Aziz nak tawaass. Semua ade. Muaz ade.. Syafiq ade..." Selalu sangat nama2 tu kena petik.  " Tawass? Mommy tak tahu lah tawas tu ape. Cuba Aziz bagitaw Mommy tawas tu macam rupa die".  " Tawass laa Mommy. Tawas! " Super exasperated by now.  "Ooohhh Star Wars. Haa nanti la mommy tengokkan"  Must be the correct one, because he looks satisfied and start to put on his shoes.

So last Wednesday when I was saying how busy I was. Balik rumah ni lepas mandikan Aziz I noticed that badan die penum bintik2 merah. Chicken pox!  Chicken pox Aziz amidst the messy home. Aku punye la cuak kan sebab my husband is not around. So for about an hour I was just fretting. And also looking everywhere at Saif punye badan.  It is not a good time to be out of the office. It is EA form time for Malaysia and SG and have to settle some issues quickly to meet deadline . And I was taking days off work from Thursday, but working most of the time at home. I am NOT HAPPY about it I tell you. I am on the laptop even during weekend. Aziz was lamenting why am I working all the time. I didnt even have time to play games with him. Poor Aziz.  Anyway, it seems like Aziz have the mild one , it kinda flares up quickly and begin to dry around Saturday. My sister pon tengok and said dah no longer contagious ni on Sunday. But I still think it is better if he is at ho...

Busy busy busy. Busy at work. It had been crazy, I feel like I am shouldering 5 people workloads. Busy at home because my husband is not around for a month so that means absolutely no free time at all. The kids are slightly sick, and I am not feeling too well. Even the cats are not well. Well maybe 1 cat. Have to take Brownie to the vet this weekend. At least I got lunch hour to watch my series. LOL. My lunch hour is spent to watch my tv series. No one can disturb that! I am hoping by the end of the month this craziness will end. That is what I thought last month.

More like binge watching to the point of you feel like you have no identity of your own?  Don't you ever feels like it? Say if I had binge watched Buffy for instance, I always feel like carving up a stake and go out to the night to patrol and make ready some sassy line for comebacks.  So when Netflix came to Malaysia everyone is so excited. Well, everyone who loves TVs as much as I do. We subscribed and I kinda love it.  I started with Master of None . It was ok. Funny. Not a really binge kind of series. More like, if you are feeling a little down then Master of None is a good pick me up without feeling like you had been dumbed down. Aziz Ansari brings a good point across into a package of watchable comedy. Not a bad hour spent.  Then because I like Krysten Ritter and heard only good stuffs on Jessica Jones, so I started to watch Jessica Jones. Again, so so good. The thing with Netflix shows are, they are good for binge watching. And Jessic...

I wonder if each of the cat is gonna gone missing at one point. I had Bobby and Kurap missing once.  Last weekend went back to JB to attend a wedding. It was nice, the whole family ( my adik beradik) were there which is kinda rare because not everyone lives nearby.  Usually we send the cats to the usual pet store, but not too long ago we got a flyer advertising a home boarding for cats nearby our home. So we decided to test that out.   Sent the cats on Friday and off we went off to JB. Saturday morning to, on our way to the hotel, we received a call from the pet sitter saying that Wolly had gone missing! She is very apologetic and sounds a bit afraid , which understandable. She explained that somehow Wolly manage to get out of the cage, by squeezing herself out from the door that is not shut tightly.  Wolly and Bobby shared the same cage. Only Wolly got out. I think Bobby is like... dude.. your funeral. So she got out and the sitter tried to find he...

Last night as I see Saif tottering here and there and suddenly feels like eh, I just  have to update about them,  Aziz is now instead of playschool had started on preschool. Still obsessed with Ultraman, a little bit less obsessed on Upin Ipin but this kinda things is seasonal. Tomorrow he may like Upin and Ipin again.  Makan sikit je. Yesterday we bought pizza and it took him an hour to finish 1 slice. Really! Likes to make up stories. If we asked him something, he will have some tall tales to tell us.  Really like playing with ants. Rumah ni is pestered with ants sometimes, and if he found one, he will be like, "comel kan mummy" and put the ant on his finger and gazed at it.  He is mostly toilet trained. Except for night. Bile tido masih lagi berpampers because when he sleeps especially for a nap mesti terbocor. But ok lah. Memula kan Aziz resist the idea of going diaperless, kenkadang nangis2 nak pakai diapers, so we introduced h...
