Sesuatu yang baru....

Harini abah bawak balik orang baru, dia trade in orang lama. Tapi pada ketika saya menaip entry ni saya belum tenguk lagi orang baru tu.

Malam tadi saya beritahu Yaya, esok abah nak jual yang lama tu ganti baru. Yaya sedih sangat. Tergenang air mata dia.

"Nanti kalau mama dengan abah dia carik macam mana? Nanti dia dah takde.." kata Yaya dengan nada sebak..

mama explain, "Mama dengan abah dia kan takde. mana ada orang cari.."

Kesian anak mama. Ntah dia paham ke tidak apa yang mama cerita tu. Anyway, tak sabar nak tenguk reaksi Yaya petang ni.

Rindu menusuk kalbu......

Hari ni 20 Feb 2009, dah cukup sebulan ku tak update blog ni.

Sebenarnya banyak perkara yang berlaku dalam tempoh masa tersebut, tapi saya tak berkesempatan nak cerita di sini sebab saya terrrrramat sibuk! Saya akan tetap sibuk sehingga 27 Feb 2009 lepas tu baru boleh tarik nafas lega, tidur nyenyak dan juga update blog ni!

Nak upload photo pun tak sempat2. Haikal dah masuk 10 bulan 14.2.09 haritu. Sangat aktif, sangat kuat makan dan sangat suka buat lawak! Yaya pulak susahnya nak bagi makan. Tapi tengah2 malam dia carik roti / biskut / cheese. Abah cakap ingatkan apala bunyi bising kat dapur, ingatkan tikus. Rupa2nya anak dara tu carik makan. Muahahahahha..

Okeyla, sampai sini dulu. Nanti saya sambung cerita selepas 27 hb ye. Hopefully by that time my streamyx will be ready and I can update anytime from home.

Baby at 9 month..

My dear Adi Haikal turn 9 mo today... Ish, ish, ish... rasa cam baru je beranakkan budak ni, lagi 3 bulan dah setahun umurnya..

Let see what a 9mo can do....

Almost walking
Your baby is getting closer and closer to full-fledged walking. At this age she can probably crawl up stairs and cruise, moving around upright while holding onto furniture. A few nine-month-olds may even take a few steps -- with support. Your baby is also learning how to bend her knees and how to sit after standing (which is harder to master than you might think!). You can help your baby by standing or kneeling in front of her and holding out your hands encouragingly, by holding both her hands and walking her toward you; or by buying a toddle truck or a similar contraption your baby can hold onto and push (look for toddle toys that are stable and have a wide base of support).

Childproofing your home is a necessity now. One good place to start is to put latches on the doors of off-limits cupboards -- babies inevitably make a beeline for such things.
* Ohhh... idokle nampak budak Haikal ni in the verge of walking... Ate, masih lagi angkat2 punggung macam merangkak tapi tak bergerak kemana pun.. Kalau dalam walker memang laju le dia bergeraknya, kaki pun macam ala2 berjalan.. but not by himself. Dia dah boleh berdiri with support.. means: meniarap-pegang badan mama-and push himself to stand.

Shoes? Not yet
When their babies start standing and cruising, many parents wonder if shoes are necessary. Until your baby is walking around outdoors regularly, most experts don't think so. Going barefoot not only can help strengthen your child's arches and leg muscles but, according to Penelope Leach in Your Baby and Child, it can also make it easier for your baby to balance when her shoeless feet are free to feel all the textures of what she's walking on.
* Kalu kat rumah takde maknenye nak pakai kasut nih semer... heheheheh

Playing and learning
Your baby can now put objects in a container and remove them. Give her a plastic bucket and some colourful blocks (make sure they're not so small she can swallow them) so she can practise this new skill. She also likes toys with moving parts, such as wheels, levers, or doors that open and close. Big plastic cars that your baby can roll around on the floor are fun playthings for both boys and girls. If you take a toy away from her, your increasingly assertive baby is likely to object. She's really starting to be able to make her needs and wants known. About half of all nine-month-olds will initiate passing games, giving away toys and then taking them back. Be her playmate. Try rolling a ball to your baby when you're playing on the floor and see if she rolls it back to you. Give her a sorting toy or stacking rings and see if she sorts or stacks or hands the pieces to you.
*Iye... Haikal suka sangat main dengan whatever toys available. Kalau nampak kakak Yaya punya bucket of blocks he will run after it and topple it down. Lepas tu dia baling2 blocks tu, and kakak Yaya akan bising sebab adik dia main mainan dia...

Coping with separation
Now, and for the next few months, is when separation anxiety is at its peak. Although it's normal for a nine-month-old to show an extreme attachment to you and fear of everyone else, it can be difficult for doting grandparents and caregivers. You can help ease the transition for your child by warning people to approach slowly and letting the baby make the first move. If your child uses a thumb or a dummy to soothe herself or settle down as she tries to cope with her anxiety, that's okay. Sucking is one of your baby's only methods of calming herself.

*Haiiyaaa.. ini budak sikalang aa tatak muleh tatak nampak mama dia ooo... terus ajer melalak. Kalau weep ajer okey lagi, ini sampai ke tahap menjerit2 sampai satu Taman boleh dengar... aduhaiiiii.... Tapikan, haikal tak takut orang la.. Dengan sapa2 ajer dia boleh tegur2

Trying to travel
This can be a tough age to travel with your baby. Your child likes predictability, and travelling disturbs her routines. If you do travel, be prepared for a grumpy, clingy child. Have plenty of distractions ready -- picture books, noise-making toys, and, most importantly, her security object. And if she uses a dummy, it's wise to bring along a handful: they seem to vanish just when you need them most.

*Oh, mama silap percaturan ke bawak Haikal travel last month ke Penang? Tapi haikal okey2 ajer cuma dia cepat boring kalau lama dalam kereta. So we have to make a stop whenever dia da start meragam, keluar jalan2 jap amik angin and then continue with the journey.

Language comprehension
The torrent of words your child has been hearing since birth is beginning to work its magic. By now, your baby's understanding of words far outpaces her ability to use them, and her babbling is probably starting to sound more like real words, including "ma" and "da." (Don't get too excited just yet -- they're more than likely not actual words, just a couple of the host of sounds she babbles constantly.) At this stage your child still comprehends more from your tone than from your actual words. The more you talk to her -- while preparing dinner, driving, or getting dressed -- the more your baby learns about communication. In fact, one study found that the greatest predictor of later intelligence is how many words a child hears daily. Of course, idle background chatter and time spent parked in front of the TV don't count -- to help your baby's comprehension, she must hear words and language used interactively. At nine months, a baby begins to understand the word "no," but she may not obey just yet. However, she will respond to her name by looking around or by stopping what she's doing to see who called. Reinforce her recognition behaviour by saying her name frequently.

*"HAIKAL...." kalu panggil gini cepat je dia datang sambil sengih2 kerang bucuk. Kenkadang panggil "ADIK.." pun dia datang jugak. Saya pasti dia dah pandai sebut "ABAH" sebab everytime dia nampak abah itulah yang disebutnya. Nampak abah jauh, lagi kuat dia sebut (panggil le tu). Kakak Yaya dia panggil "DADAK"

Rumah Neneks....

Selepas menghabiskan cuti raya haji di rumah mak saya di Kluang tahun lepas saya ajak suami singgah sebentar di rumah arwah atuk di Kampung Parit gantung, Parit Sulung. Semenjak arwah atuk meninggal Mac 2008, nenek tinggal dengan anak2nya yang 2 orang tu ajer (mak saya & seorang pakcik di Kelantan). Hiduplah dia berpindah randah sebab dia tak berani duduk seorang diri di rumah kampung ni. Yelah, saya pun tak setuju kalau dia tinggal sorang2, nanti kalau ada apa2 berlaku kan susah.

Kakak cerita, semenjak rumah tu terbiar tak berpenghuni, nampak macam dah usang sangat. Satu ketika dulu halaman rumah tu penuh dengan pokok2 bunga dan tumbuhan hijau. Bila masa dia berbunga terasa macam dalam taman. Memang cantik sebab nenek rajin bercucuk tanam.

Kiri kanan rumah tu penuh dengan pokok buah-buahan, rambutan, mangga, manggis, kuini, rambai, pendek kata kalau musim buah memang puasla kami makan. Arwah atuk akan pajakkan pokok rambutan ke peraih sebab kami tak habis makan.

Belakang rumah tu ada kebun getah, lebih kurang 1 ekar. Di situlah nenek menoreh untuk tambah pendapatan keluarga. Masa saya kecik2 selalu temankan nenek menoreh kalau saya tidur di kampung. Sebelah kiri rumah tu pulak ada kebun kelapa ayah saya lebih kurang 2 ekar. Pokok kelapa tu dah tinggi sangat, tak boleh nak kait. Arwah atuk akan kutip buah2 kelapa yang jatuh, kupas dan jual isi yang dah di mesin kepada penjual kuih yang hari2 dapatkan supply kelapa darinya.

Tapi bila saya sampai di kampung hari tu lain sungguh perasaan saya. Sayu hati saya melihat keadaan rumah tu. Satu ketika dulu di halaman rumah tu lah tempat kami bermain masa kecik2. Pokok2 bunga kebanyakan dah mati. Kebun buah semak samun. Pokok2 getah belakang rumah ada 2-3 batang yang tumbang. Di kebun kelapa pulak banyak buah2 kelapa yang dah tumbuh sebab tiada tukang kutipnya.

Yelah, orang kata kalau rumah tu dah kena tinggal memang hilang semangatnya. So lifeless.. Rumah tu arwah atuk yang buat sendiri, nampak gaya kalau semua ni berterusan lambat laun reputlah rumah ni. Mak bagitau pakcik saya yang tinggal di Kelantan bercadang nak pindah ke situ bila dia pencen, insya-Allah dalam tahun ni juga. Hopefully dia boleh restore keadaan rumah ni dan pelihara semula semuanya...

Bateri dah abesss...

Semalam haikal diserang penyakit cirit birit. Selepas ambil budak2 dari nursery kami singgah di kedai sinseh untuk beli air gripe water. Kebetulan di kedai tu ada dijual buih sabun. Yaya beria2 soh mama dia beli. So mama pun belikan satu...

Sampai di rumah Yaya terus main buih sabun dengan Haikal pun turut serta mengejar buih2 tu sambil naik walker.

Abah pun teruja nenguk anak2 dia main...

Abah panggil Yaya,

"Yaya... meh sini, bagi abah tiup pulak" kata abah..

"Okey, abah tiup, biar Yaya dengan Haikal tangkap ye" kata Yaya.

Abah dengan excitednya cuba meniup buih sabun tu, tapi peliknya takde buih yang terbentuk.

"Eh, apasal tak keluar buih ni? Mama beli buih sabun expired ke?" abah tanya dengan musykilnya.

"Abah, agaknya bateri dia da abis agaknya......" kata Yaya dengan muka sungguh inesen...

Wakakakakaka! Kelakar la Yaya nih...

p/s: alkisah suamiku itu tak betul cara tiupnya, so buih takmo keluar... wakakaka

Pokok cili abah...

Buah2 cili dari pokok2 kesayangan suamiku dah merah... Boleh la petik untuk masak. Masa kaler dia hijau lagi puasla mama mengendeng soh dia petik barang sebiji dua untuk dimasak tempoyak goreng, tapi suami tak mau. Dia kata belum masak lagi... Huhuhuu...

Tapi ada satu kejadian mama merajuk panjang, takmo makan (mogok lapar). Bila dah masuk hari ke-3 tak makan mana boleh tahan beb! Teringin nak makan nasik goreng ikan masin, suruh Yaya cakap kat abah dia mama nak sebijik cili tu nak buat nasik goreng. Cepat je suami petikkan, yang paling besarrr pulak tu. Hehehehhehe...

Pagi2 nak pegi kerja, suami belek dulu pokok cili tu, balik kerja pun belek lagi. Mama ni dia tak belek pun. Muahahaha..

Anyway, sebab mama tenguk abah seronok sangat tanam pokok cili ni, mama dah semaikan lagi benih cili, la ni yang dah tumbuh ada 3 pokok. Nanti bila dah pindah dalam pasu abah akan take over jaga pokok2 tu.

My life... in 2009

Rasa macam dah lama tak update blog ni, sebabnya tiada apa2 yang menarik untuk dikongsi bersama. Life goes on as usual...

Di rumah, Yaya dan Haikal membesar seperti kanak-kanak normal yang lain.

Yaya makin petah bercakap. Dah pandai bagi opinion, reasoning, dsb. Dah kenal alphabet, selalu mengeja tapi tak tahu bunyi ejaan tersebut. Dah kenal nombor, dan sekarang ni tengah belajar mengenal huruf jawi. Berat terkini 14kg, naik 1kg dari tahun lepas. Masih lagi pakai diapers masa tidur dan keluar berjalan2. Bila ntah nak diapers free..

Haikal pulak sekarang ni asik sebut abah ajer... nampak abah terus keluar aab..bah! Nampak kakak dia panggil daad..dak! Dah lama dia tak sebut mamma! Jeles saya tau! Dia suka sangat main dengan mainan Yaya, suuuuka sangat makan, dah pandai sedut minuman guna straw dan menyusup di bawah perabot. Pincer grasp pun dah ada, so rumah kami sekarang ni memang bersih sebab takut budak ni kutip ntah hapa2 & masuk mulut.

Di ofis pulak sekarang ni tengah bz ya amat, almaklum, kerja makin banyak tapi officer takde pulak bertambah. Hari ini saja ada 10 draf surat yang saya kena buat, 5 dah siap tinggal lagi 5.. Heheheheh.. Disamping itu saya kena buat beberapa task untuk organize workshop bulan Februari ni. Tapi takpe, saya suka sebenarnya cabaran2 macam ni, tengukla camner, setakat ni boleh handle lagi.

Dengar citer boss besar dah dapat surat pertukaran, tapi pertukaran dalaman saja..

La ni saya tak faham, pagi2 time nak pegi ofis mesti jem giler. Keluar 7.30 pagi pun jem, pukul 8 pagi pun jem. Masa 2008 takdela berlaku macam ni. Pelik betul. Selalu 2 jem yang terpaksa di tempuh.

Yang ni dekat kawasan perumahan saya...

Yang ni pulak bila dah masuk area Putrajaya....

Saya macam dah jumpa rumah idaman, tapi harganya bukan dalam range yang saya dah set, so maybe saya terpaksa lupakan... unless a miracle happen dan saya dapat naik pangkat dan anjakan gaji.

"rojak...rojak... rojak... rojak............ "

"rojak... rojak... rojak... rojak........... "

Holliday in Penang ~29 Dec - 31 Dec 2008~

Time kat Tanjung Malim. Cuaca mendung. Nampak bukit bukau cantik berkabus... kami berenti makan pau tanjung malim yang femes tu dengan kopi hainan.

Dah sampai kat tol jambatan Pulau Pinang.. Penuh sesak dengan kenderaan..

Yaya excited sangat sebab da 2 bulan dia asik sebut "Puaya" Pinang ajer. Sapa ntah yang ajar dia soh pegi jenjalan Puaya Pinang tu. Tu yang Mama terbooking hotel kat situ...

Hotel penginapan kami, Hotel Bayview di Georgetown. Besssttt...

Bilik air dia besaar dan bersih. ada bath tub yang besar jugak. Alkisah kitorang tak mandi swimming pool tapi masing2 berendam dalam bath tub tu ajer sebab cuaca tak mengizinkan.

I dunno about you people, tapi ni la 1st time makcik dok kat hotel yang sediakan sikat, berus gigi & ubat gigi, shaver & cream dan jugak vanity set yang terdiri dari cotton bud dan jugak kapas muka tu.

2nd day kami pergi Bukit Bendera. Penat betul makcik, dekat setengah hari kat situ ajer. Boleh naik tram kol 11.30pagi. Ding dong ding dong kul 2 petang baru turun.. panasnya ya amattt.....

Kami makan laksa penang dengan abc special kat atas BB nun...

Haikal minum air soya...

Malam tu kami makan di Gurney Drive. Kami try makan rojak kat situ, amik sket2 je (bahan2 lebih kurang 8 keping ) sekali time dia hantar tu jadik cam menggunung rojaknya. Terkejut makcik. Masa tanya bapa harga lagila terkejut, RM30 hengget! Tapi yang paling terkejut rojak tu boleh habis di makan abah & mama!

Fyi, sampai harini telinga kami anak beranak terngiang2 "Rojak... rojak... rojak...." yang dinyanyikan oleh mamak jual rojak tu...........

Hari nak balik umah da... haikal posing atas katil..

Balik naik feri. Yaya happy je naik feri. Mama tak turun sebab Haikal tido dalam kereta...

starry starry night - Don McLean

Starry starry night, paint your palette blue and grey

Look out on a summer’s day

with eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills,

sketch the trees and the daffodils

Catch the breeze and the winter chills,

in colors on the snowy linen land

Now I understand what you tried to say to me

How you suffered for you sanity

How you tried to set them free

They would not listen they did not know how, perhaps they’ll listen now

Starry starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze

Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue

Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain

Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand

For they could not love you, but still your love was true

And when no hope was left in sight, on that starry starry night

You took your life as lovers often do,

But I could have told you, Vincent,

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls

Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can’t forget.

Like the stranger that you’ve met, the ragged man in ragged clothes

The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me

How you suffered for you sanity

How you tried to set them free

They would not listen they’re not listening still

Perhaps they never will................
