We went to Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh

I think long time readers here ( ade lagi ke) may remembered I had already went there a couple of times. This time I want to shop. But bringing in baby also hampered a bit of shopping, but not by much. Baby Aziz had been a delight that he deserved several smacks and cute embroidered clothes for his trouble. But I am getting ahead of my post.

Before we go to Vietnam, which is on Thursday last 2 weeks, mak die and anak die baru la terkedek2 nak buat passport on Monday. Nasib baik la gak I opt to wait for husband because passport baby punye process goes something like

"passport ni nak ikut mak ke ayah. Kalau mak sehari je kalau ayah 5 hari."
Kite orang mesti la nak amik mudah cakap mak. Sekali nasib baik die bagi ayat seterusnye
"then kalau ikut passport mak, anak ni tak boleh dah dapat ape2 keistimewaan yang orang Sarawak dapat, e.g. biasiswa, pembelian tanah di Sarawah, penurunan harta"..

Woooooooo. So we decided baby passport ikut ayah die. The process is not that complicated, isi extra borang with photostat copy of IC by the father, and father signature then need approval from Kuching. The approval takes around 4 - 5 days. But of course that does not work for us, so they said we can appeal it by faxing to Sarawak office our flight itinerary and asking for a speedy approval. It took just 2 day. Monday sent, Tuesday husband telefon 20x and got it. Hehe. My husband is persistent. Harapkan mak die memang lama la kut. So we can go to Vietnam that Thursday!

At Vietnam we stayed at Bong Sen hotel at Dong Khoi street. I chose this rather than the popular Bin Thanh area because I know the area as my family had stay around here before. So it is easier to move around. I would think my choice was apt because I love staying here. It is nice to walk around, halal restaurants are just a stone throw away.

My hotel was great. It was comfy, clean, well kept, bathroom was nice and even have those extra amenities , like toothbrush and toothpaste. I stay in Sheraton Kuching baru2 ni pon takdak ok. It is those extra things that counts. I would most definitely stay here next time. Breakfast of koz la non halal, but there is plenty of breads and cereal and fruits and salads to keep hunger at bay. Dan I was fantastically full everytime breakfast pon.

Omelette during breakfast. I really enjoy their coffee. Sodap,  kona dengan tekak den. 

And the Halal restaurants we went too.

We can't get adventurous in Ho Chi Minh, well because I don't fancy getting food poisoning with baby, also because there is limited what halal food you can obtained.

Our breakfast is at the hotel.

Lunch is usually around Bin Thanh area, which the first restaurant named Kg Melayu I think is just ok, and the Warung 1Malaysia ( ko jangan, kat Vietnam pon 1Malaysia), is nice except don't order the sweet sour or the sotong or both! But the soup there is very nice. Another time during lunch we just ordered cakes at Gloria Jeans which is a MISTAKE because DILA when will you ever learn cakes in coffee shops are never good.

Dinner we went around Dong Khoi area, Halal Saigon the first and last night, D'Nyonya the second night and a Turkish restaurant which I suke sangat virgin mojito die. And the kebab is nice too.

These are mostly dinner food pics. Lunch we got our hand full with little Ajis yang asyik tunjuk perut seksi die tu. 

Halal Saigon food was pretty good nothing too great tapi sedap la di perut. D'Nyonya was so and so.

I somehow without realizing ordered Pho in D'Nyonya. It was nice enough, but it is distracting to eat a soupy noodle with a struggling baby. 

Most of these restaurants are pretty expensive as we are in the tourist district so if you guys go there make sure you calculate betul2 the meal in RM before ordering. All those 00000s in VietDong is pretty heady and confusing.

What we see

Ajis tidur afterwards so boleh tengok photographs bebetul. 

Not much. Like I said before I had been here before. I suggested to husband if he wanted to go to Chuchi Tunnel, but he said no because he does not want to take the risk of a temperamental baby there. So I ajak him to go to War Remnants Museum only.

Aside from that jalan-jalan area Ho Chi Minh is quite a good way to spend the time too.

Where we shop

Honestly not much too.

One of the bag I bought, I like this bag. It is biggg.  Kenapa gamba ni tak centered? Shut up

I bought few bags, but I think you'll fare better if you wanna buy a lot, go to the other shops around Bin Thanh. However there are more choices in Bin Thanh, which is why I bought there, but bile nak pegi the other place, dah malas pulak, because the shops outside Bin Thanh, while cheaper, only 1 or 2 design is kinda ok to me, lain2 macam so so.

Baju smocking for little girls, is cheap in Bin Thanh. Go deeper in the market to get the best price. They are much more incline to give discount if you buy more so if you beli 1 agak2 la kalau nak tawar menawar tu kan berapa banyak you wanna discount. I bought some for the nieces. Ajis of course la not smocking gown, but we bought him a cute embroidered coverall for him. Embroidered cloths are big in Vietnam, but I already have a few embroidered tablecloths dari long  time ago and I very rarely entertain so tak kose nak menambah.

Ape lagi ek, oh for baju kurung, I memang dah aim Hong Anh je, nowhere else. Maybe there are other places who sells good quality and pretty baju kurung, but I didn't go around and see but I had always before like and am satisfied with their baju kurung so malas to see around and just aim there. Hong Anh is not cheap compare to other places in HCM, tapi bile ko dah bandingkan dengan harga baju kurung yang sama kualiti dijual here, sangat2 la cheap weh. Dengan itu aku amik 3 sekaligus, and bought one for my MIL and one baju melayu kecik comel untuk Ajis boy untuk raya kelak.

Other than that, I didn't buy kain sebab kain kat rumah tu dah melambak dah. Ops, I only bought kain for blouse to be made here. Dan menangislah aku sebab dengan bodohnye I didn't bring a sample blouse for them, so they can copy it, instead just ask them to ukur and just make according to the blouse I was wearing that day. The result was not pretty. Menangis aiii okehh. Eh tak nangis lah, tapi cukup la untuk bad mood. Agak kebangangan jugak kan, I asked for blouse simple straight cut just like the one I am wearing, die orang pegi buat ala2 gaya peplum tapi lebih kepada kemakcikan. Nangis dalam hati je la, sebab diri sendiri salah tapi still berbakul jugak la kalau boleh aku nak maki. So those who wants to make blouse BRING SAMPLE. Penat je cari kain kat Bin Thanh, nanti tailor sana butchered your baju. They can make simple baju kurung, but go lebih sikit je memang out of their comfort zone, tu yang kain aku tu jadi practice sewing kut.

Other stuffs,  bought some other stuffs not worth mentioning, oh maybe one. A lacquer painting reproduction of Gustav Klimt  'The Kiss', because I love that painting. It sold for 20 USD but I manage to buy it for 15 USD sebab I pointed that there is a small chip here and there. Hehe. Boleh ko taknak tawar menawar dengan aku, so I pointed la what is wrong with your product.

Once I entered a shop near Bin Thanh, I looked at one of the dusty bags they displayed outside and asked the price, thinking maybe it is below 10 usd because honestly, the bag seen better day. Boleh die quote aku USD20. I just laughed at his face and walk away while he quickly adjusted his price from 20usd to 2usd. 2 USD kauu... but I tadek mood nak beli from guys quoting price that is daylight robbery pon.

In summary, where we go to shop pon is primarily Bin Thanh, Saigon Square, Saigon Tax , shops around HCM la.

Ade Loubotin ok the street hotel aku tu. Tapi aku tak masuk. 

Bin Thanh - good for cheap items, but i think yang betul murah is kain and clothes. Other tu especially souvenir items, I don't think so Bin Than is the place. They are very aggressive sellers, if you taknak tengok sometimes they take offense, macam ade 1 place tu, I memang nak beli the MNG knockoff clothes they are selling, but they refuse to tell me the price. They cakap, they cari my kaler and bukak packaging dulu baru nak bagi tahu price. Of course la kan if they do that we feels obligated to buy kan even if they said no, I asked repeatedly but they still do not want to give, so annoying. Then dedua la annoyed with each other. Honestly if you can't stand the hassle, Saigon Square is the best place for you to buy clothes. But I think mostly the tshirt sellers yang I perasan very aggressive  other sellers like the children clothes, kain, table clothes are not that aggressive. So we tried to steer clear away from them.

Saigon Square - There are 2, but you can opt to go to the one in front of Bin Thanh, they sell the same things, but things are not that oppressive, the sellers not that aggressive. I did go to the Saigon Square 2 and found a nice palazzo pants made of silk that I didn't found anywhere else, so I guess it is a worthy trip for me, but not too much items or a bargain you can get there.

Saigon Tax - These are for the tourists who malas to go in Bin Thanh, you can get somewhat more of the same things, and the price is ok too, but like I said old design. There is a supermarket in there.

Owh and we bought our souvenirs at a gift shop in the War Remnants museum. Cheaper from the discounted price we got at other place. Tapi ni souvenirs biasa je2 la like fridge magnets, and hat and bookmarks.

I didn't manage to go to the pasar malam at Bin Thanh, I heard lagi2 la murah, but with baby in tow I kesian la pulak nak bawak so I rather not. Usually nighttime we just jalan2 around the hotel je. Lagi pon bile dah petang I usually go back to hotel and let Ajis sleeps comfortably, so bile die bangun time dekat2 dinner tadekla die emo sangat.

Apakah konklusi ni: Tak tahu la, I bought some but not a lot, but tadekla serik to go again. I always like Ho Chi Minh, so yeah, kalau my family decided to go I might tag along too!

50 books to read before you die

Husband bought a bookmark that listed down 50 books to read before you die. Out of all I only counted 14 I had read. Barely a quarter.

I am not sure I must read it all. There are other books that are equally delightful. Life is too short to have a list.

Aziz is 8 months today!

Budak nakal yang nowadays semua mende nak masuk mulut. He had almost eaten 2 of keyboard keys. Manage to pry out a receipt from his mouth recently.

Oh and he boleh merangkak dgn cara yang betul tapi totally cartoonish way 

Ape lagi... mummy die tak ingat sebab bz gilos ni. Which is why I have not been updating about the cats sebab the cats need moar pics in blog.

Back to work bebehhhh.

Blur moment

I was in an one on one meeting with a manager . Ini manager mat salleh from a European country so.. yeah accent sedikit kuat.

We start the meeting by introducing myself and I told a bit about my baby. Then it was his turn and he said..

" as you know , I'm Gaayy."

I was speechless for about 10 secs while my mind was going... "okkkkkk... I am not sure why he is telling me that".

Then after he seen me silent for a while, he went on.. "yups.. I am gregory...".

Penat aku tahan gelak. Yela kan. Why the hell would people want to say that to their employees out of the blue. Telinga pokak.

I am now laughing about this with my colleague.

Sometimes the best things in life is expensive

My expensive (for me la) lunch. Aku suke sangat O briens. Their bread is awesome and before this I ordered their salmon sandwich yg slathered with cream cheese and I fell out of love. Cheese is not meant to be eaten with salmon kut. It absolutely killed the taste.

So I ordered my favorite sandwich which is the sundried tomato one with ciabatta bread and my faith in O Briens had been restored. That great tomato taste which imo opinion most probably oven baked rather than sundried but hey with pollution level nowadays I am not complaining. Kemudian the cheese that goes into this sandwich just mesh well la. It is sticky gooey but not creamy. Just as I like it . Also makan apple pie which is not so great tapi tak kesah la. So this whole post is about a sandwich.  No wonder I tombam.

Update bulan March!

Kamon Dila jangan malas.

Last month sangatlah busy , selalu balik lewat. Fuh. Kenkadang kesian dengan anak. Takut die tak kenal mak pon ye jugak. Dah la bapak nye memang senantiasa tiada, ni mak pon selalu tadek sebab keje. Bulan lepas punye busy, balik rumah kul 9, makan, amik anak dari rumah akak, then tidurkan Ajis which usually die akan lena dalam 11.30 then sambung balik buat keje sampai kul 2 a.m. 

Lagi2 Ajis dah start makan, lagi la lewat tidur as I will cook his food so besok my maid will just panaskan je. I don't want her to cook because I had tasted her cooking and it is sooo salty. And I don't trust her to listen to me (because she usually don't) also it is always best food being cooked by mom itself no matter how simple or terrible. 

My waktu tidur nowadays is 3 a.m. I have no idea how time went by so fast. There were times I cried. Times I feel like I did not get enough support from my maid ( who is lazy as hell ), from my husband and yes I sometimes blame my infant son for not being supportive of mommy. However I am glad I live near my sister, I don't cook so I went to her house. As I don't trust my maid who is not a bad sort, only lazy and don't have a lot of common sense, I sent her to my sister house so at least there is another pair of eyes. She don't approve of this. However after I had told her many times the lantai at rumah needs mopping every day and she still don't do what I say, I don't think so I can trust her on other stuffs, when even things like mop rumah pon setelah berkali-kali diberitahu she can't do. She lied too, saying she did, when I know exactly that pieces of crumbs at the kitchen had been there for 2 days. Sigh. Maid. Hate em, but can't' live without em. However I am trying to find a way to live without em and aside from taking care of my kid, I honestly think I can because she does nothing else. I told my husband after her 1 year is up, sent her back. But by sending her back, I also do not know what other choices I have. Sigh. But I don't think so I can deal with maids again.

Ok. Sesi meluahkan perasaan sudah habis.

Now about Ajis. 

Tengah tengok makcik2 berbual sambil makan biskut

I think the last time I updated he baru nak golek. Hoi sekarang dah merangkak ok. Merangkak komando style la. But recently he had used his knees a lot. 

His uncle called him ulat bulu besar. And yes, his hair is like a toupee kan. Dr Vernon (his paed) , mentioned that he have Julius Caesar hair. 

Gambar malam tadi. Excuse the mess, mummy  die memang begitu.  Montelnye perut anak akuu. 

Herm... can't see it from this pic, but when he is at his naughtiest and his curl is all over the place, he does look like a mini Julius Caesar. Haha. 

He is not that fussy anymore selepas tahu merangkak. Can sleep easily nowadays, he will guling2 and sometimes I layan him, sing2 or ask him about stuffs, he loved it for approx 5 mins but then prefer to paling his muka to the other side ( tak ngadap mak la) macam die dah "ok enough lovin2 time Ajis wants some me time", then he babbles2 sendiri then tido. 

He lovess cats. He will tarik the ekor, telinga and bulu. So far the cats buat bodo je, but don't push your luck la kan. I always tell him no, but I wonder if knows what 'No' meant. But I also do not want to totally separate him and the cats so both will be familiar with each other. My sister pon sekarang have a cat, and if Ajis saw the cat he will merangkak to him so fast. 

Sibuk nak kejar si Asad tu ( Asad is the cat la)

As for food, I am cooking him bubur every day. Currently the menu is bubur + sup ayam + sayur2 puree or bubur + sup ikan tenggiri + sayur2 puree or bubur + sweet potato & raisin puree + ikan bilis. Sonang. Ikan pon setakat ni, ikan tenggiri je laa anak ye. Salmon cekik darah kut. Ikan tenggiri pon rase nak jerut leher tengok harga.

So food die penuh la dengan protein and carbs and not too much sayur. Pastu memang laaa anak tu nangis-nangis last weekend memerut. Kesian, berak taik keras. So now I also pesan my maid, after his food, he have to eat the fruits I provided. Sometimes it just betik yang dah dimash2 by maid or other fruit puree like mango and pear. Anak aku ni memang nganga je bile orang suap, so sekarang ni memang die tadek preference. Senang nak prepare makan. Tengok je la perut kat atas kan...

I was thinking to buy a slow cooker, tapi tak beli2 lagi takut membazir, also sebab nak tunggu husband ai balik la. Haha. Slow cooker pon kedekut nak beli, but itu la. I think it would be easier, because I don't have to cook things separately la. Tengok la wehh. Banyak je mende nak kena beli ni bile dah ade anak. Mak nye nak tengok baju kat poplook pon tak tengok2 lagi. 

Tapi kan sebab poplook ni pemes sangat ramai sangat orang ade the same baju. I try ordering from other online shop, gua beli size L kut, kecik dan senteng ok! Kecik tu ok lagi, tapi aku ni dah size S dah, kenapa baju tu senteng? What I like about poplook is because the model is my size, so aku boleh agak bile see the baju if it fits me or not. Ni kalau model tu yg anorexic diperagakan oleh Eastern European model, agak susah la aku nak imagine how the baju look on me. Yes, yes ukuran ade. Tapi rajin sangat ke aku ni nak ukur lilit diri sendiri. 

Eh, nanti I update about the cats pulak. No major updates pon for the cats. Semua sihat belaka. 

Cloud Atlas

Saw it finally after I was excited seeing the trailer masa I pregnant dulu. Kenapa I excited... sebab ade Jim Sturgess laa. 

You should watch One Day, then read the book. The film is not all that, but the book... I don't know why, but there is something about British writers that I love. They don't pander. They get the story out, and still hit all the emotional notes. And One Day is a beautful story of friendship and love and life. It is predictable, but I love it nonetheless. Hoi baca je la One Day tu ok. 

And whyyyyy. Kenapa melalut cerita pasal One Day, tapi tajuk Cloud Atlas. Melalut kejab sebab Jim Sturgess is wonderful. He is my new James McAvoy. 

This film is around 3 hours. It took me 2 days as my free days is not as it is before. Heh. I heard that Cloud Atlas is a monster of a book. The story spans centuries, past , present and future. From 1849 to 2321. There are 6 stories in them. If not all, almost most of the actors have some roles in each stories, big or small. 

The one that is most memorable to me is the Sonmi story ( Jim Sturgess is an Asian! He kicks ass! He is romantic! Hellooooo ) and the Cambridge story. Sonmi story is wonderfully futuristic, lovely and sad. The action and set and effects is typical Wachowski. But the Cambridge story is about the life of a n impoverished musician, his love for a man is the one that moved me. I never care much about LGBT stories as I can't relate to it and I don't have any strong opinion on it ether. But this particular love story. Maybe it is the actors, but my heart breaks for them that it don't for others. If the other stories (some are yawn-ish, some are lovely and riveting), this one.. bring it home. 

I am itching to read the book because I don't get it. Tapi I don't think so I will read it. There are other books! Many others to be read! Anyway below are the observations and questions I had when I watch Cloud Atlas area. 

(Spoiler to those who cares)

Why Frobisher kill himself? I don't get it? 

Why is Sonmi is important? Exactly how did Gen Chang knows she is ? 

Why people choose to listen to  her? I don't get Sonmi. 

Why Cavendish brother locked him in nursing home? I don't get it. 

Isaac Sachs storyline into Luisa Rey is completely pointless. 

When Cavendish yells out "Soylent Green is people" in his storyline, I am not at all surprised on how the Sonmi story pan out. 

Sonmi and Gen Chang love story is cute and lovely and tragic, but Bae Doona made it so. Jim Sturgess I am sorry to say, can be turn into a mannequin for all I care and I hardly notice. He is heroic and regal and handsome... but why does he loves Sonmi so?? I don't get it. 

I love everything about the Frobisher story. The affair with Ayrs (or who the heck it is) is also kinda pointless, but aside from that, everything melodramatic about this story works.

I want to watch it again, but I don't think so I can larat go through 3 hours of it. Tapi nak tengok Jim Sturgess. Maybe I'll search for Upside Down next then for my Sturgess fix. 

Update gaya malas

Ajis is now 6 months!

Perut seksi

Can guling2 at last!
Boleh mengesot ke kiri kanan to see people around him.
Makan dengan jayanye. I think he is ready for bubur and biscuits next, instead of all those purees.
Can recognize people, tapi don't mind people picking him up. Peramah orangnye.
Can say 'mamamamamama'. Try to ask him to add 'mi' to no avail. I am not a mama person Ajis!
Macam ade gigi, tapi tak berjaya lagi tengok giginye. Die tepis our hand away, even when he is sleeping.


The cats
Kurang sikit selsemanye sesekor. Especially Kurap yang asyik bersin mengeluarkan hingus hijau.
Few days back I forgot to buy their wet food. Usually twice a day I'll give them the wet food on top of kibbles a bit. So when none is left, I bagi cat treats. Tetiga ekor tu bolayan. Kurap datang sniffs and look at me with a disgusted look in her face. Rupa macam aku bagi taik ayam je gayanye. Poyo sangat kekucing aku ni.

Work
Hectic. Penat. Neverending. Tolonglah habis cepat.

Me
Tah la weh. Sibuk main candy crush saga ni to think of what is bothering me. Distractions, distractions.

Ape tuuuu

Tu la mainan busuk Kurap.  Sejak 2 menjak kena discourage tidur bilik ni die selalu miau2 depan pintu mintak masuk. Kenkadang kesian bagi la kejab.

Sometimes she came bearing gift. Memula ingatkan die bawak mainan die naik untuk main. Tapi mesti letak masuk depan pintu. Bukak pintu je melulu masuk abaikan mainan terus. After dah banyak kali berlaku baru paham die bagi gift a.k.a rasuah la untuk masuk bilik. So she gave me this so she expects me to open the room for her. Sweet sangat montelism kurap ni.

Kenkadang pagi2 I bangun the mainan ade depan pintu. And I found her sleeping kat tangga tepi bilik. Kesian. That usually means she had mewed and I tak dengar ler tu.

Ini adalah antara sebab I berat hati nak ikut husband transfer. Kurap have to go with me too because I think she will be brokenhearted if left with somebody else.

Pft

Whatttt.. they are not impressed at the rates I am solving defects?

Of course. Because they have around 4 5 people doing tests, while I am along responding inane emails, CRs, reading documents (which they dont read and expect me to answer all questing), while solving defects and replicating and taking screenshots.

Pbthhh..

I hate people. I nak jadi housewife la gini!

Penatttt

Everyday penattt. 

I think I may need to buy FM for Ajis. Can't keep up with pumping and try to pump in the middle of the night still tak cukup. The thing is during office hour I can only pump at 12. Then another session bile otw balik keje. I don't have any time to do much else during office hour woo. Penat. At the very least I got him to only BM for the first 6 mths. Well, Ajis tak sampai 6 bulan la lagi tapi seminggu je lagi. 

Then bile husband balik la macam2 mende rosak, my usb player tadek sound. Astro saiko. Roof leaking. Gollywolly found a way to get out. 

USB player tu takleh buat ape la. Tengok most of series dekat computer, Astro tu kena tepuk bile die buat perangai, roof dah ok. The grill still needed for me to add the wire mesh ke ape tah tu, tak beli lagi. Litterbox kucing pon I cleaned in the middle of the night. Semua mende buat tgh malam la. Huhu. Now I totally get why so many opt to be a housewife. While things may not get much easier, but it must lessen the workload and stress line a bit. 

Kurap tengah pengsan depan mata. So kiut my kitteh ni, all the cats tengah selsema. Kurap bile bersin, bersin hingus hijau ok. Kesiannn. I try to pasang humidifier with vicks, tapi tak working pon. Dah la semua ni jenis payah gile makan ubat. Kenkadang rase nak je jentik sesekor bile taknak makan ubat tu. Geram. Dah la sakit. Degil lak tu. Pastu kite lak cedera. I bought a pill popper tu. tapi cam konpius lak camne nak guna. Sebab selalunye nak kena ade dua tangan bukak mulut kucing, while 2 jari tu pegang pil. Ni mcm kena bukak mulut 1 tangan je. Hurmmmphhh.... 

Ohh I had also change my skin care from Simple to Neutrogena. Had been using Simple since tah bile... tapi sejak 2 menjak dah makin meningkat usia ni... EHEM, I think I may need something milder sebab it make my skin so dry. So now I am using Neutrogena, been using the ageless ape tah Neutrogena but then couldnt find it. It was ok, smell amazing. Now bought another one, sekarang ni ok. Neutrogena ni setakat ni very nice, does not make my skin oily, nor dry and skin rase supple and bouncy. Cuma yang tak best ni is the smell. Bau macam paint. Ade macam hint of soy and some other chemical thingies punye bau. Bole gag. If I was using it masa pregnant memang kena buang. 

Ahh dah habis pumping. Nak tido.   

5 months sudahh

Wahh... I had been so busy. Ade sekali tu sampai cam bergenang2 air mata sebab stress sangat. Kerja lagi and Ajis being more fussier than possible! Sekarang ni die akan tidur bebetul nyenyak pukul 11.30. And he slept all the way till 6 am for his morning susu. Then bangun lagi around 8 am.

While at night he is a sound sleeper, he is a crybaby the other half of the time. Constantly nak berdukung. Sometimes I let him be and he will be angry and he will be cry shouting. If your baby does the same you probably understand what I mean by cry shouting. Last weekend I lock the room and carry the baby monitor, as I was busy scooping out taik kucing, didnt hear my baby crying, by the time I dengar die dah melalak tahap bunyi macam budak kena dera. Naseb baik I simpan the kunci bilik somewhere around nearby. Sekali terbangun jeeeee. He likes to sleep bawah ketiak mommy. So if he wakes up and no mommy around, memang waterworks plus vocalization laa.

Anyway masihhh tidak berguling. Everyone else is stressing out. Except moi. Haha. Eh banyak la lagi mende dalam my day to day untuk aku stressed out. Paeds cakap ok je. Die memang malas. So let him be la. Kalau dah setahun tu layak la kut aku stress out.

You know I missed my time alone at home. It was me and the kitties. I have all the time in the world. Sekarang my time is only 11 pm until what time I think I should sleep before being fully awaken again at 8 am tomorrow. My maid? Tak payah la. She scooped out the litterbox tapi sebab I am a thorough person, I will do it again every night to make sure the pee got scoop out too. Scooping out pee from a litterbox memerlukan skill ok. You have to know exactly how to korek it and shake it so it wont fall back to the box in a smelly ammonia inducing mess. If I missed out a night mesti esok litterbox tu akan disaster. The kitties wont like it.

Menunggu dengan penuh eksaited untuk makan

Oh and I already start Ajis on solid. He likes it. Intro him to basic rice cereal first. 2 minggu gak la rice cereal. Seminggu sehari sekali dulu, then now baru ade petang makan sekali. Breakfast tak lagi. Lambat sikit la breakfast, maybe when he is 6 months. So now slowly I introduced him to vege and fruit puree.  selang selikan la the vege and fruit. First vege was sweet peas which he likes. Tapi yang siksa adalah mak die duk shell sweet peas tu. Then mak die baru teringat mak die ade maid kenapa tak pergunakan. D'oh. Then I introduce him to sweet apples puree. He likes it. I think after this it is probably sweet potato puree and pear purees. Nak kena beli bekas ice cube kat Giant je. Giant got those instead of a double row, a single row of ice cube punye bekas with cover. I need to buy 2 more so I can store more stuff.

Though I did risau a bit bile die tak berak for 2 days, so I lessen his rice cereal and increase the fruit purees. And bagi di probiotic. The next day die berak. So yeah, lessen the rice cereal and oat cereal once in a while I would think. 

Icky greenish stuffs tu is sweet peas. Surprisingly  sweet and mild and creamy. And I blend it without milk ok. I dont understand why people said baby food is icky. Sodap je. 

I bought the Phillips Avent yang boleh steam and blend tu. Senang tu prepare his food. Setakat ni okla. Memang easy peasy. Bought it at Jusco, ade discount so dapat la RM300++. Cuma drawback nye I think it is quite small la. Ah well.

Gollywolly tengah sibuk check ade ape tak untuk die.

Apart from the starting solids. Well he is starting to get to know his mommy. Crying when I left for work. Sometimes la. Most of the time, he is having the time of his life with his cousins. And walaupon tak reti golek, tapi bile he is on top me he can golek sampai hujang kaki, lepas tu gelak2. 

Penat. Am now pumping because my stok susu is really merundum. Maybe because I am tired and all stressed out from this project. Yeah. Dont get me started on work. Anyway. Later. Banyak je things to update. Ade masa ke tak je now. Hehe. 

Happy ending

Jumpa dah makhluk ni!

Semalam bile bangun rase susah hati sgt la bile tak jumpa die. Risau. Sambil tu dah sibuk nak cari kucing lain. Cewah. Sentap hati Bobby kalau die tahu aku nak pi cari pengganti. Bukan apee.. gollywolly tu kalau tinggal seskor mula la menyanyi satu rumah. Kalau terkunci die dalam bilik sensorang bising ya amat. Kalau ade teman die happy je. Kurap tu bukan peneman ye.

Anywayy.. semalam lepas mandikan2 Ajis nekad la gue mencari Bobby lagi. Hari Ahad kan. Weekdays dah payah dah. So dukung la kenit tu pegi jenjalan area taman perumahan sambil panggil "Bobbyyyy...". Macam2 kucing la yg bertuan dtg menjenguk. Ade tu tengah duk panggil sekor duk nyahut. Tengok2 ade kucing yg rupa cam bobby dalam cage kat luar rumah orang. Wahh.. hati dah happy dah wehhh. Sekali gi dekat sikit kat luar pagar. Lain laa. Die punyer marking grey tu banyak lagj dari Bobby. Dah bersedihan tepi rumah orang tu. Sedih bukan Bobby satu. Satu lagi sedih sebab tengok kucing tu miau sayu jee dari cage ke arah rumah mintak orang buka cage. Kalian kalau bela kucing, tolong la jangan letak kucing dalam cage lelama ok. Kesian taw. Lagi2 cage ke kecik.

Then sedih2 tu continue jalan panggil Bobby lagi. Ajis rilek je. Dah start panas tapi banyak kawasan teduh leh jalan. Ajis tu asalkan berdukung berjalan memang suke je. Tak kisah la bawak ke mana. Mana tak lambat benar nak bergulingnye anak oi.

Jalan depan lagi tetiba nampak Bobby tepi jalan! Wahh.. happy woo. Pantang je dukung budak. Kalau tak dah berlari dah. Bole pulak orang panggil die buat bodo je. So bile dah dekat sikit, aku duk tepuk2 sikit jalan tu. Sebab kalau kat rumah nak panggil die ke kite, selalu duk tepuk2 sofa. Baru die datang miau2. Sibuk la die before ni duk menghidu2 pokok kat depan rumah orang. So panggil die suh jalan tepi so I can lead him back la. Adala jalan tepi dalam 20 30 tapak pastu distracted tengok ape tah die nak gi arah lain pulak. ADHD betul. Last2 angkat die sebelah tangan sambil dukung ajis . Org2 lalu lalang naik motor tgk je pompuan ni duk pegang kucing sebelah budak sebelah.

Bawak die balik dah ade welcoming committee dah. Tapi sebab 2 hari hilang so mesti la ade bergelut dengan kucing memana, betina2 rumah tu duk hissing lepas bau. Dah lap sikit dengan pet wipes baru ok. Bobby ok je. Telinga sedikit robek. Sampai rumah terus cari makan n minum then terbongkang sepanjang hari sampai ke malam. Kesian.

Tak jauh pon jumpa die. Kat jalan belakang rumah. Tapi mungkin gak before this die kat tah memana sebab dah lalu situ 2 3 kali before cari die. Nasib baik jumpa la kan. Tapi rasenye kalau tak jumpa pon Insya Allah die dapat cari jalan. Cuma lambat sikit. Takut kena baham anjing or dilanggar je la in that time.

Bobby Hilang

Takde mood nak cerita lebih cuma harap die balik la intact and sihat. He had been gone since Friday, pagi. Ni Sat mlm maseh tadek walau dah cari merata.

Tiny tot went to Bintulu

Update basi ni, balik Bintulu ni dah 3 minggu lepas kut.

We started out first on Ajis first flight. 

It was terrible. LOL. Ajis ni memang ada masalah nak tidur tengahhari and flight tengahhari is kinda disaster. Masa takeoff it was ok enough I gave him bottle, and he slept around an hour. Sempat la I makan dulu. Habis je makannn.. terus bangun, and seeing there is not much space, he was cranky afterwards. So husband brought him back and forth the plane, then there was turbulence and he was cranky at the back of the plane since he was stuck there. 

So the stewardess took turn in holding him because my son dont like guys holding him. LOL. During touchdown, I can hear him crying and can't do much about it because have to be strapped in... Sebab tu la bile keluar plane je cuak tengok Ajis muka naik macam ruam2 merah sebab he cried so much. Kesian baby. 

Naik merahhhh

The next plane ride going back to KL I was much more prepared. The plane is also not full so we got an entire row for ourselves which make it easier for me to breastfeed him ( Ajis tak suke breastfeed tempat sempit2. I think because I am uncomfortable, so he is uncomfortable too) . And I asked husband to not walk him back and forth because once that start, he will cry if we sit down. So I entertain with all sort of sounds and songs since we are not sitting so close to other people to irritate the hell out of them. Entertain la die, sampai mummy die naik motion sickness. Naseb baik tak muntah je. So bile balik tu tadekla die nangis sangat, start nangis je mummy tuka lagu, games puting. Fuhhhhhh.. penat la I tell you. Dalam kepala... wahh ini baru 2 jam lebih. Cuba kalau 8 jam plane ride. Maw aku suruh plane stop aku balik naik kapal dengan Ajis. 

So that is his first plane ride. I am hoping the next subsequent rides will be much easier since he will be older. Aminnn. 

The family at Bintulu was overjoyed seeing him. Suka benar main-main with him. He laughed most of the time, and cried half the time sebab nak tidur buai. But during that time also I know how to put him to sleep without buai, cuma kena sentiasa have to be beside him je if tidur tengahhari. Banyak benar la peelnye. 

The akikah went on splendidly. Beramai2 la sedara mara gathered to cook the one lembu they felled. Bukan lembu sekor untuk Ajis, this akikah also is for his cousins mousins kat Bintulu tu. Share2 terus. Time akikah tu baik je. Fuhhh. He slept while the nenek2 was holding him up and down, and halfway through the  majlis he slept so that only mean he wakes up happy.

Balut dengan songket

Tu tidurrrr... ye tidur berputing . Macam2 la kan. Berbuai, berputing. Asalkan happy la anak. 

We didnt stay long at Bintulu, I dont have much holiday left and work was piling up. So few days je spent there. Ajis like Bintulu well enough, especially during bathtime. Amboi suke betul mandi kat sana, air sana sedap kut...

Eh, panas la pulak update ni (blogger ni tengah kepanasan depan computer, nak berbaringan). Nanti update lagi. Wah wah.

Super quick reviews

Ever since the baby arrival, it is super hard to find the time to bathe much less reading books 0_0 . But I manage some. I think there is more, but this is the one I remember finishing. I am still not being able to finish Bourne Supremacy, not sure if I could, and with my harried state nowadays I dont think so I am in the mood of a serious or action packed books. But I will try to finish it somehow, if I can find the book. Don't know where I misplaced it.

Anyhow below are for the 3 that I recently read.


The Moonlit Cage: A Novel by Linda Holeman

A woman life in mid 19th century Afghanistan, troubled from the start until she met a white man. (Of course) 

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Reading at first, I want to rate it a 4, then halfway through it became a 3, towards the ending, I was so disgusted with the book I wanna give it a 1, but change it to 2 because I like it enough at the beginning.

The author started beautifully then she somehow feel like changing her mind and gave the beautiful, complex strong heroine a weird character that make me feels like punching her on the face. Ah well.








Just as Long as We're Together by Judy Blume

Stephanie’s best friend is Rachel. Since second grade they’ve shared everything, good and bad. Now, as they start seventh grade, Stephanie meets Alison, who has just moved to their neighborhood. Stephanie hopes all three of them can be best friends, because she really likes Alison. But is it possible to have two best friends? Or is it true that two’s company, three’s a crowd?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my 2nd or 3rd book of Judy Blume. While the other books I read, I like it well enough, I really like this one. I couldnt stop reading.

It captured perfectly the inner struggle of a tween girl struggling with hormones and best friends and changes in family dynamic. The book is lighthearted but if I ever have a daughter, this is one of a few books I will give her to read when she is a tween herself.





Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett


In the eleventh Discworld novel, Death is missing – presumed . . . er . . . gone.

Which leads to the kind of chaos you always get when an important public service is withdrawn. 
Meanwhile, on a little farm far, far away, a tall dark stranger is turning out to be really good with a scythe. There’s a harvest to be gathered in.


My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I recognized that Terry Pratchett is a genius amongst many. Many favorite authors. This is my 2nd book that I had read written by him and while I am entertained and find it ok, I have to push myself to finish the book.

However I am only tickled on the part of Death. The other parts in the book I am meh. So am giving it a 3, love the style of writings, but story telling wise, not for me.

Or maybe I just don't read Discworld.

Big Bad Wolf Books Part Deux - 2012

Went there during last Tuesday, time birthday Sultan Selangor as I took a leave on that day. Big mistake. I thought there is no public holiday on that day! So the crowd that day was quite... crowdy (hihi.. 2 am writing this, my vocab is like shit at this hour). Bahh. Tapi its not really a loss as I am mostly there to take away the kiddies and let my mom and my sister shopped. Also I have Ajis in my hands, so tadek masa sangat to pick books. And in the middle of the hall he was cranky to be fed, so memang la got no time. 

Tadek masa pon I still manage to pick one or two and a few for my niece (not pictured). The rest my husband picked, especially the True Blood series because he known I was looking for them. 

Eh.. .. not bad for around an hour trip kan. And I was not shopping either. 

Oh I am glad that the BBW organizer ade a play area for the kids. Really great. RM10 per hour and RM5 subsequent half an hour I think, max RM30. My nephews love it. And I saw that the people manning the play area is really great with kids too. Kudos for the organizers. 

Well then, am out. Just updating my purchase. Dont think so am going again. Buku tahun lepas pon havent read them yet. Though am a bit tension I didnt purchase for the Red Readerhood charity thingies too, because when I went there last time. I got no cash.

Izinkan saya merapu

- Am listenng to Game of Thrones soundtrack. I love soundtrack. I especially love this soundtrack. Other soundtracks I love Bridget Jones, Romeo & Juliet (yg Leo & Claire Danes punye itu), Titanic ( Of course!) and The Last of the Mohicans. Best woo listening to soundtrack. 

- Am horribly busy. Which is why I blog. Obviously

- Am wearing my Mulberry today. Alang2 nak pegi Tamarind Hill for team dinner, I bawak beg bersesuaian. Cewah. 

Untuk Dila: Beg Mulberry yang diletak unceremoniously je atas meja lagi sikit nak kena coke. Nanti amik gamba posing dengan beg... kalau sempat. Righttt... LOL. 

- Sangat tempted nak beli breadmaker Kenwood. I love breads. My family love bread, and why not make own bread!

-  I honestly think I have a mild case of Number Dyslexia. Am ok with words, but horrible with numbers. I had been in trouble several time because when I changed coding for defects, I need to put in the defect number as reference. If I am not careful, I always mixed up the number. e.g. 14531, I will put it in as 14351 so nanti bile cari balik the defect orang akan emo with me because they cant find the defect description. So aku kena terbalikkan2 nombor tu untuk get the correct reference -_-" . This is the same with bill. I HATE long reference number. I always have to triple check, because most of the time I got the sequencing wrong the first time. Or I might just have terrible memory. But like some teacher noticed, I have photographic memory (which is diminishing by the years. Banyak dosaaa! ), but I can't seem to get numbers correct. So yeah, paying bills to me is a chore and take a long time. Sebab I always need to triple check. Dan kena calm and without interruption so I bole concentrate typing number!

- Husband brought Kurap to the vet for her yearly vaccination shot. Sebab I can't be there, I asked him to take a video for me. Tadek ape2 yang pelik. Only Kurap meowing je. Kurap memang bising at vet. Bobby pulak suke lari sikit-sikit. Tengok2 dah kat hujung table ready nak terjun. Gollywolly setakat ni tak dapat predict lagi. Yang paling baik at vet is Puteh :(

Sambung buat kejeeeeeee

Big Bad Wolf Sales 2012

Well then, got meself a preview pass again. Yeay!

This time it is held currently at the Mines and manage to haul my husband along to carry my loads. So I went today! Yeay!

As it is still the preview pass, there is not much crowds, but there was still quite a lot of people. Cuba bayangkan kalau time sale tu nanti. 

The books are LOADSSS. Depending on whom (which authors) you like la. I didn't find a lot of Young Adult authors that I like, (kalau ade pon I already got), but there is still quite a selection for everybody. I didn't find any Twilight books this time though. Noooo, it is not for me, but my friend pesan. So I have to disappoint her. 

A lot of cooking books, the travel sections don't look too varied, but I may have not been looking hard enough, and I couldn't find the CDs that they posted they had. Maybe tak keluarkan lagi kut, tapi I dah penat to look sana sini pon. 

But for everything else... there is a lot. A lot Ludlum, all the usual chic lits, Laura Weisberger, Jane Green, Madeline Wickham/Sophie Kinsella.... I helped myself to quite a lot of chic lit. Didnt hunt for serious books this time. Only glanced at the Non Fiction one, except for Parent and Kiddies section, so I can't say what you want maybe there. A lot of Nigella books, her fans would be delighted. 

Oh the graphic novels selection would thrill a lot of superheroes (X Men, Spiderman, Ironman, Thor ... those are the most of it) fan. Lots of Marvel. Not a lot of graphic novel that I like, so I bought only one. The kiddies section are massive. In my experience, the kiddie books go out fast. So I think when I go there the second time, a lot of the popular Disney and Pixar books will be gone. Which is why I grabbed some for my nephews. 

Now... finished with all my wordiness above. My haul this year. 

I am thrilled the Wolf have this. These books cost a bomb in bookstores. 

Ok tipu, I have 2 graphic novel. Yang tetengah tu comic collection. 

CATZ! *no added words necessary*

Both husband and I agreed on this book. Berat wehh..

Nope.. that is not all.. meh I tambah lagi gamba di bawah ini...

Express housekeeping! For the clueless like moi!

Buku resepi dalam BM! RM 2 and RM3 je wehh.

I think I already have some of this...

Baking wares pon ade wehhh. RM10 je yang muffin tu... Murah wehhhh

Belom habis lagi. Ade lagiii.. ade...

The complete set of Malory Towers!  Ko ingat senang ke nak jumpa niiii. Kat MPH jual  box set ade 5 je. Macam mana ko boleh jual box set tak complete niiii. Buku ni dah la dah berzaman

My books! All minee!

Dan last but not least, sebab dah ade Ajis in our life.

Children's book. Terbeliak mata Ajis tengok buku Colours tu. Kaler die terang benderang. Actually not all of the children book in the above pic tu Ajis punye. A lot of it are for my nephews and nieces. Ajis punye buku, ade 4. Yang The Incredibles tu buku Mummy die. Haha.

Oklah. Gonna do other stuffs. Had fun at the sales, got to shop till trolley gotten heavy to lug around. Maybe I'll go again this Tuesday tapi bringing along my Mom and nephews and nieces, so I doubt I'll be doing much shopping on my own. Ye la tuu..

Oh... the damage. RM500++. Gulp. Kthxbai.

I shop and shop and shop

I think it is frightening how much I shop this weekend. Aku tak amik gamba la my damage, because I always forgot to take, 

Kite start dengan Mom Expo at Midvalley. 

- I went 2 times! Lunch hour sekali for a quick look and a quick buy, second time to buy MamyPoko because lunchhour the queue is turrible. 

- Damage - 4 baju for Ajis ( totally acceptable, Ajis dah besa, baju dah sendat ), thermos flask for travelling, food container, detergent, 2 cloth books and 2 MamyPoko. 

- Then went Amcorp Mall on Saturday sebab nak amik preview pass BBW *insert big wolfy smile here*. 

- Damage - 1 baby book for Ajis, 1 baju India cotton style tu for moi, puting for Ajis sebab Ajis melahau mummy kepala weng tinggalkan puting die. Hahaha. 

- We tried to go to PWTC sabtu malam tu, tapi jam walauwehhh... parking penuh, then hujan pulak tu, Ajis tidur. Kesian la pulak. So husband cakap tak payah la.

- Sunday morning , I pujuk husband through Ajis to go to PWTC this morning. Sampai sana baru perasan rupanyeee perhimpunan UMNO tu habis on 1st Dec, gueh ingatkan 2nd Dec. Dah cuak dah ingatkan gerai2 jualan ni dah tutup laa, tapi still bukak lagi, tak semua bukak, tapi more than enough la to do some damage to the wallet. 

- Bought 10 tudung yg RM5, tudung warna warni itu. Bought 40 kain ( Bukan semuanye untuk akuuu, nak bawak balik Bintulu ni...), husband bought baju cotton batik, I bought kain batik warna hitam ( I like ) which cost me only RM220 which is my budget. Tak kose aku nak mahal sangat.. The woman selling me the batik told me I am lucky to come at the last day, as people just want to get rid of stuff, so jual murah. Ini bukan luck. I memang nak datang last day sebab mahu murah. Tapi I tak cakap laa, hehe. Tanak revealkan my cheapskateness. 

- Husband bought me my first Mulberry! Fiiwitt. Matik laa. Adakah lepas ni aku akan terjerumus dengan aktiviti2 salivating after expensive handbag dan mengeluarkan duit bonus untuk handbag? 

Husband mentioned it is kinda scary on how ape ekk,.. my appetite for shopping seems unquenchable. Aku rase masa pregnant tu aku duk postpone2 nak shopping, tadek mood la bagai, tetiba lepas dah naik keje ni,, macam wahhh.. ini mahu, itu mahu. 

Pengsan. Tetiba aku cuak nak check kredit kad. Gah

Random Stuffs

- I am drinking this nursing tea ni. Ala tea yang penuh dengan fenugreek dan tah hape rempah ratus to increase milk production. I rase la macam berkurangan, so before this I bought the Milkmaid Tea yang highly recommended, tapi tu kat rumah je. So at the office ni I bought Joy tea. Now I know why Milkmaid Tea is highly recommended walaupon expensive (RM40++ for I think 10 satchets. Ke 8 Aku reuse and reuse sampai dah tadek rase dah satchet tu baru buang. Haiii... saya kedekut ). I love Milkmaid Tea punye taste and smell. Very soothing. Not unlike usual herbal tea. This Joy one is HORRIBLE. It felt like I bancuh rempah kari instead. I put loads of honey in it, which only made it worse. Bahh. I think I will be sticking with the Milkmaid Tea. However I still got 4 more bag of the vile tea left. It is not in my kedekut nature to waste it, thus I must drink it. 

- This Saturday husband is home. This meannn, I can go out shopping with Ajis during the weekend! Without much hassle! We'll be going to Bintulu for Ajis to see his grandfather and grandma soon. Rase gundah gulana pikirkan how to survive with a 4 mth old baby on a 2 ++ hrs flight. 

- I had been trimming my series watch. Need to be picky. I no longer care to watch Nikita ( is it still on?), and 90210. Also I left out Parenthood, but I like to marathon Parenthood, so maybe I left it sampai end of the season then watch at one go. Senang. Walking Dead pon dah malas after the sucky FARM stories in season 2. I much rather just stick reading the graphic novel. Much more satisfying and less angsty. Andrea is so much more cooler in written/drawing form than in the series. So does Michonne. I am very very glad that Gossip Girl and Fringe is ending this season too. I dont like the Observer story. And Gossip Girl, you just wanna finish it. It is getting ridiculous by the day, but hey, it had always been ridiculous. 

My favorite new show now is Emily Owens M.D. Love Mamie Gummer. The Mindy Project is ok too, but ..hmm what can I say, I felt like it is a poorer version of New Girl. Also added 666 Park Avenue to my series list. It is ok enough. Not too fucked up like American Horror Story so I can watch it and just be mildly scared and not at all turn off. And of course my favorite show will always be The Good Wife. I love it. Husband mention I should watch Suit, I tried to, but I feel like I much prefer The Good Wife court room and political drama. 

- Hari isnin adalah hari yang sangat mengantuk. Sekian.

30

Akhirnya 30. Cewah. Macam tertunggu-tunggu pulak. 

Surprisingly it is not that depressing. 30 is still young, but not naive. That is what I thought of 30++ people. There's nothing much I can say about today. I turned 30, big whoop. ( Am currently rewatching a lot of Sex and the City at the moment, so I maybe quoting a lot from that series). After all Sex and the City characters, I think all of the characters start their story there when 31 or 32 kan. 

Husband tried to call me yesterday at midnight but I was busy also Ajis was sleeping. I am not too keen on people calling me nowadays. I prefer all contacts go through Whatsapp. Hahaha. Aku punye aversion to phone conversation ni memang tersangatla kronik. Maybe I come from the generation that first created txtspeakz or my 2 years stint at a call center put me off telephone call foreverrr. 

There's nothing much I want from my birthday. Maybe Prada (sile tampar aku sendiri sebab earlier I said nothing much iteeww) . But actually the thought of new bag pon aku macam suam-suam kuku gitu. Interested nak tengok , tapi tengok la if I decided to get one. I am more interested in planning my London - Scotland trip 2 years from now. Hahahaha. I decided in 2 years time (kalau gua tak pregnant lagi), I wanted to go to London to see back The Tower of London, tengok Harry Potter punye tempat tuu and taste Butterbeer and shopping2. Then go to Scotland for some cross country trip via car/mobile home/train. We'll seee. ( I think this is the first time husband heard of this full plan, he may fainted for a while thinking of the cost). 

Pagi tadi I asked Ajis to say Happy Birthday but he will not obliged. Pffftt. Kecik-kecik taknak mendengar kata. He was in a good mood even when I shampooed his hair, so selepas mandi tu I manage to snap this when he was at his cutest 

Ko tengok tangan tembammm ituuu. And he now likes to suck on his index finger. Actually not such, he likes to munch on them. Bukak tutup mulut, munch2 on finger. 

Oh berat now at 3 months 3rd week is 6.6 kg. His paed said are you sure he is 3months not 5. Haha. Tangan mummy selalu lenguh la tapi. Huh. 

Well anyway, eh alang-alang tu I share this story. Sometimes at night, when I put Ajis to sleep at my room, I always sit around downstairs watching tv but I bring along the baby monitor punye walkie talkie itu. Sebab kalau pasang tv, Ajis melahau memang takkan dengar. So time-time tengah tengok tv tu , I dengar macam bunyi merengek, then dengar bebetul macam bunyi kucing. Blur kejabb, sambil pikir "Bile anak aku nangis bunyi macam kucing", then the meowing gets louder. Naik atas bukak pintu rupanye Gollywolly meowing wanting to get out of the room. Bile tahhh die masuk bilik. Nasib baik Ajis tak bangun

2 ekor best friend. If you found 1 you can usually find the other nearby. Suke groom each other. I had put back Bobby collar. Loceng die besar gabak. Kelakar je bile die main kejar2, bunyi loceng kollar tu. Sounded like lembu berlari. Hehe
