bUshes nO mOre........

I've been meaning 2 cut aRiff's overgrown bUsh above 4 quite sometime now...bukannye x de mase but we did bring him to a hair saloon ( chechewah..) tapi... to my dismay he refused to even sit..lagiler plak cutting his hair...hmmm....m'be bcoz he's so used to having his atuk yunus cut his hair.....x biase org lain meddle wif his overgrown n hard to manage mane....

laa....boring tul ariff nie...even tried coaxing him to have d haircut...but my attempts weren't successful..to put a stop to anymore 'pujuking'...ariff bluntly said..
" tak molah Ummie...tak mo potong rambut ayiep...kang nanti ayiep tak comey kan..kan..ummie.." hehe...dah ade atie nak comey2 plak...*smile*

his unmanageable hair is sooo ler merimaskan n invites confusion to is gender...dahler mate besar wif girlie lashes...rambut plak pjg n srabai...ppl kept thinking my ariff as arifah....though he is well dressed as an ariff...

putting an end to his bushy mane... had to ask his atuk yunus cut it...der....x bleyler fashionable lgsg...(dah tu..nak bwk proper hairdresser susah sgt,,)...let it be....
so now...ariff looks like ariff....no more arifah...

trying my skill as a hairdresser aufa falls victim to my gatal hands...yelah...aufa's hair plak cam rumput tumbuh tak 'skate' n not enuff baja...seciput here n there....since its not fashionable enuff...i decided to follow d much loved icon of ppl nowadys...yup!!! i 'mawi'kan si kecik aufa,...hehe...he looks better now n cuter...terror jgk ummie nie bab2 mendogolkan ...anybody care to be the next victim??? *wink*

gOOdbyE sUckSSss!!

tOday's d Day MamaNa's leaving 4 sYdney......d whole family including lil' aUfa yg baru nak baik demam tUwun antar.....her flight is at 2200 Hrs n after maghrib dOk mlepak killing time n MamaNa checking n re-checking again her things..thanx 2 abah's constant enquiries of where's where n what....

yes we're used to having MamaNa away b4..sOmetimes for months....but it's all within M'sia n she will always find her way back hOme somehow or another....THIS..however is as new an experience for her as it is 4 us the whole family....she's leaving us 4 a job abroad...going on her own..alone...there..outhere...amidst the kangaroos * hehe..best tue..!!!*

nOt only Us family turned up 4 her departure..MamaNa's Oil man was there...(abis kena sakat due to the plasTic envelope heheh).....,then there were MamaNa's pal..bOb, Intan n hubby.....sUprisingly..alOng also made an appearance..* cayaLah*..

aS we all sat there waiting...each with his n her thoughts....i'm quite positive that my other adikS...r thinkin' n pondering d same thoughts as I am...... " alamak...ni real2 nie..bukan memain...MamaNa's really leaving today...xde postpone2 dah...jauh plak tue...sydney babe..bukan bley naik keta g...kena fly......"...then as reality dawns on us all....sadness creeps in..." alah....sape nak sakat2 kite lagi, ...tak de dah lah org nak blanje n ajak jenjalan....tak ceria ahh umah tue....dgn sape I'll have fights nanti....no more alamanda..kopitiam...klcc..mid valley outings U guys....!!!!!!Mak....xdeler waiting up at nite for juicy stories from her..abah, no more staying up watching tv, tunggu MamaNa balik.....etc...lOts ..n lOts more....

with that all...tears started pooling n much to my dismay...it shed out a drop..then another,...then another...no stOpping now...worsening more on kissing n hugging MamaNa as we exchanged goodbyes....My tears only started more n more teary chains all over..( alah..yg lelain tue control macho jer sbenonye..memang nak nangis pun..tp salahkan owg plak!!ape klass.....)...

MamaNa shed tears as well though she vowed not to...n blamed it again on me...ahaks!!!

takpe Na...akak tau that beneath that strong exterior there is my lil' sista..no matter how big or married or far U r...u'll always b my lil' sista....d one I alaways played with, love to have fights with, d one i'll tell things I might not tell others..., the one who made me feel proud to be her sister always......

Na...jgn sedih2...b strong, jaga diri at ppl's place tue...do remember Allah always....n pls...try to do what i asked of U..again n again..ya....pls....

Windu2 kat aRiff n aUfa tue tetgk ah the pics ...

sending her off....the teary crowd....Me, iYa..jani..abah..mak..even kak uswah waved from afar...realizing that she's gOne now...only from sight ..but will 4 eva b near in our hearts.......

p/s: though aRiff might not understand it all yet..i bet he'll miss U like hell!!!

d reAsOn.....

i'm not much of a talker or even a blogger for that fact...then...y even start a blOg???....

my lil' sista is leaving for wOrk in sydney soon...she'll be there m'be a year or two...what i know is without any pending cutis to come home....*sigh!!*..knowing her...I know she will terribly miss Me..*ahaks!!!*..nOpe...my 2 lil' ones actually..her nephews....aRiff n aUfa.......

she has this charm with kids....from our youngsters days..she always have a way with kids & even adults...Yup!!she can b a sweet-talker...

Realizing that she might miss them terribly & miss watching them grow up....I finally decided to create a blog & promised to 'religiously' post entries in here for her to view...*Hmm...baiks tak akak nie??heheh*...this way...hopefully she won't miss out on her 2 belOved nephews journey in this world...

cheeky lil ariff

tOday I sent ariff off to nursery since abang had to attend a course ....went n stop at shell 1st for gas n ariff got himself dunkin donut 4 breakfast..hehehe....sronok btul dier..d journey was a pleasant one with ariff non-stop chattering on n on about 'abah's sheep'..talking me into bringing him to visit calvin ( d sheep's name)...I lied thru my teeth saying..' sheep tido pagi2 ni, ariff gi school dulu, balik kang kite tgk sheep..."* tipu sunat* ..all was well then n he munched satisfiedly on his huge donut till i took the turning near HUKM and him being sOO observant recognized the route...then all went into a mixture of ear-boggling orchestra of'.." Ummie..ayiep nak balik...tak nak g school....ayiep takut mirul tue lah Ummie...." not getting my attention enuff...it was accompanied with hand waving n kicking in his seat......that failing to deter me from sending him off...he switched techtiques....with a slow n heart-achingly 'sayu' voice he said...' Ummie...tak kesian ke kat ayiep?? tolonglah ummie...please....tak nak lah school, ayiep nak makan nasi ummie, ayiep lapar nie...pls ummie'... *also wat2 muke sedih siap cebik2 lagi*
glancing at his half eaten donut ...deep inside I crumbled...." ayiep makan nasi kat school lah yek..mane nak cari nasi kat cni...."...he bravely replied..." takde nasi aah..ummie..pls ah..ayiep nak kencing kat umah Ummie lah..."...with that last added words...I knew it...trick je sumer ni...auta tak nak g scool...'pandai anak Ummie ehh..'..
I marched him to the nursery n after much coaxing handed him off to d one n only "mak" he's attached to there...
driving away...terpk jugak..betul ke ariff really wanted nasi??yelah being hantu nasi lemak like abah die....dek kerna risau n kesian..called abang n related what happened...his reply left me smiling all d way home...abg kate.." alah ayang, besa ler ariff tu...hari2 abg antar die..line2 sayu tuler die ayatkan kite,...jgn risau....auta je tu....'....hehhehee...terkena jugak ler Ummie nie yer...pandai sungguh anak Ummie sorang nie...

OutbUrSt!!!!!

d whole gang ( abah,mak all my adikS excluding MamaYa ( xm's cm )) went out Coffee-ing at kOpitiam...sesaje since mamaNa's leaving sOOn .....as usual my 2 precious tagged along....one trying so hard to sleep while the other running around non-stop...chatting along, my eldest decided to test my temper...he'd been doing it all day today...with mum here tired n hungry....he succeded in getting a tarik t'ga...hmmmm..much to d suprise of mak abah,...n me too actually....
i was not this short tempered usually....dunno why lately i'm so easily piSSed off....m'be too tired n all....but coming to think of it....my eldest son is fishing 4 attention since he has a small bro now where all mummy's attention goes to..( not really...)...Hmmm....putting him to sleep I felt so sad n guilty..watching his little eyes close gently in that small cutey pie face..i'm all shattered at heart.....how could i be so short tempered now adays...
he's only trying to get my attention.....cian die.....gotta try my best to keep the cOOl though he's trying hard to break me....help me gOd....!!i pray that he understands that i still love him as much before....nothing will eva change....

lil' sis......

hiE aLL.....i'm nEw tO thiS blOggin'......bEEn watchin' & leArnin' b4 nOw....dared to jOin & share ........

mY lil' sista's leavin' 4 wOrk abroad sOOn...next week......had nOt tell anyOne even her..bUt i'm gOnna reallY miss her tOnnes....she's lOud...she's independant..she's kewl....she's rough at the edges but really kind & sOft at heart...she's all the things I wish I could bE....even though she's younger she is more masak in life than clueless me...

we came frOm an okay, not too poor or too rich ( just nice) family...5 of Us....she's my 2nd sista....the toughest & roughest oF sOrts...we shared a lot together...tears, laughter, fights, secrets....mOst of it sealed with promises & whispers of " jangan bagitau mak Eh...."...everytime & time again sHe never failed me.....
I might have been brIghter than her bUt she is mOre 'learned' in life than I will ever be...she matures in more ways than i could eva imagine......her presence is strong ( yup...partly coz she's lOud...mak's inheritence...*smile*) but her being around always manage to lighten & brighten up things no matter how dull they are.....
on odd occasions when she comes to me for a shoUlder to cry on...only at those times alone i felt really worthy......not to say i like her in misery...but then only would i feel i'm stronger & tougher than her...as an eldest child should be....*sigh*
some frens of mine slalu kate...'alah 2nd child memang lagu tu...ketegaq lebih, terror lebih all lebih..' m'be its true.....
anyhow..i know that i'm already missing her.....really hope she'll take good care out there & as mak slalu pesan...'don do things i don do ......'*ye ke??*

" lil' sis....U be good n jgn notty2......cepat2le cuti n blk cni.....".....*teary-eyed*
