Operasi Gagak Hitam

http://demo-intranet/Shared%20Documents/Account%20and%20Finance/080712%20Paintball.pdf

Aktiviti pada satu minggu yang damai...Cuba teka yang mana saya? kuang kuang kuang.

SABAR

EIii rasa cam dah empat tahun tak memblog. Bz bukan main..And whenever there is time to do it, takde pulak idea yang melimpah ruah.

My piling works are still as high. But i think for the sake of my sanity, i have to take a breather and update my lil online diary of the happenings in the house of Razan.

Alesha is as joyful as she can be. Still singing Air Pasang Dalam with the alternate of 'pokok bunga telor..' and 'pokok bunga melor'. Still showing tantrums whenever she feels like it. Both parents are hangin on a thin thread before snapping and lashing a backlash. Hahahha...nah!! i dont think i will be using my 'backlash' on her yet. Hopefully not ever. But she is testing our patients. Mantra : Sabarrrr.. Think of her sweet smile and Sabaaaaarrrrrr

Azhad is a confirmed cry baby. He cries when he sees me, he cries when he doesnt see me. Long story short, he cries!! Both Parents are definitely not revisiting the idea of another baby soon..and Most definitely counting days when he will be a toddler. (Duh! did that with Alesha and now wishing that she remains an infant!). No matter how hard he cries, Azhad is the best baby in the world when he is in my arms. Makes everything worthwhile when his cries stop immediate when i pick it up and replaced with a big grin. Or so you think! Not when its 8.00 am in the morning and i am rushing to work with my tummy growling to do its morning ritual!!!
Again ..Mantra: Sabarrrrr....

Homeskool??

I have been reading about homeschooling a lot now. Thanks to Fid, who writes about it, Anamiraa who has links to other blogs about it and Rizza who actually implemented homeschool.
Similar to Fid, i dont think i have the opportunity to do homeschooling simply because of the financial burden to the family. And by looking at how things are going, i doubt it that i will ever get the chance.
On this note, i have to say that i am deeply overzealous at my own incapacity to give the best for my children as opposed to 'housewives' moms out there.
I am writing this down simply as a reminder to myself that i have to change for the betterment of my children. Alesha will be in school come 2009 so she develops socially. I think she needs to be outside her circle so she will be more attune to people around her.
But more importantly, i have to make time for her. I was looking at various homeschool blogs lately and most definitely sure if i put just 1% more effort at making it work - even on weekends- my children will benefit from it.
Will write more about this when i can sort my schedule more.

LETS DO ENGLISH

A scene in a bathroom two mornings ago:-

Mama: Sha, wash your tummy
Alesha: (wash wash tummy) Angun pagi..gosok giiiigii etc etc

Mama: Sha, wash your armpit
Alesha: (raised 2 hands up on the air - continue singing)

Mama: Ok ok dah dah last..wash your face
Alesha: (hand go down to chest and give me the *is this face?* look)

Mama: No. YOUR FACE! (voice cracking up a notch high - Its 8.30 am and im late for work)
Alesha: (hands go even lower to tummy and give me the *is this face* look)

Mama: F!A!C!E!. Ni hah. FACE. (voice definitely at high pitch while pointing to FACE)
Alesha: (senyum kambing while washing her face)

Adeiii pengsan mak

What happened in Sat 21/7/08

We were baking!
YUp!! We were. I was on leave on Thurs due to some emergency back home. Hubby dropped by to buy some stationery and i looked to my left HAHAH BAGUS!!( As in BAGUS THE BAKERY INGREDIENTS SHOP)
Well, with 1 kid on sling and 1 chattermouth kid in her pretty terompah flip flop (damn bugger cost me RM30!!), we crossed the street and began our motivated journey (more aptly- mama's aspiration to become a cup cake maker!) to Bagus.
We bought tonnes of things which include muffin choc flour, vanila muffin flour, butter cake mixture and all the 'easy to bake' ingredients'. Gone the days of measuring baking powder, flour, etc etc. Now dump and mix!!
beli beli and beli - the Chatterbox Kid got excited with the variety of cuppies. Noticed 2 extra cuppies and 1 pack of flower confec i didnt put in the basket - We all know whose work is that.
Come Saturday...with the very high hope, the family 'berkampung' at the inlaw. FYI, my SIL is a great baker. She bakes everything from yummylicious mexicon bun to hot salivating creamy choc cake. Moi with the eagerness that beats a 21/2 years old kid begin mixturing the batter despite the high cry of the kid who refuses to be on his own (aka Azhad Razan yang manja)- to the extend my hubby muka kelat-kelat carrying crying Azhad.
Come decorating time, Alesha was at hard work decorating the flower confec (more like membenamkan the flower on the cuppies) and sprinkling the cuppies with smarties and things (i seriously dont know what u call all the lil leaves shape thingy)
POINT IN WRITING ALL THESE CRAP- Alesha, jangan cakap mama tak bake for you!!

BF Azhad

Cerita Azhad - i have finally feed him solid when he reaches 6 mos ++ days. On the same day too, i decided to buy FM for Azhad. I have finally admitted that it is too stressful for me to maintain pumping during office hours and to rush home after work, knowing that my stock is running low. I am sick and tired of getting phone calls telling me that only 2 oz left and i should be home soon. Alhamdullilah, God has given me a full 6 months rezki to feed Azhad on breastmilk completely.
Moving on, i dont think i have any regret. Though i have supply FM at home, it seems that Azhad is no really 'into' its taste. He is eating more and drinking plain water to substitute for the lack of FM in his diet. I am still pumping and manage to get about 10 - 12 oz as opposed to 20 - 24 oz a day. Azhad apparently fails to finish the usual 10 oz i supplied him daily.
I think Azhad now knows what he wants. It is direect feeding. Though it saddens me to see he is not drinking much during my absence, but it has somehow cheer me up knowing he wants my direct-feeding as opposed to bottle feed.
Keep it up dear Azhad. Mama loves you.
