Bedah Manyak Wow, teman setiaku

Mama dalam dilema. Si Bedah Manyak Wow teman setia Mama tu dah mula (sebenarnya dah lama, since last year lagi..) menunjukkan tanda-tanda lanjut usia. Ye lah, 'kriuuk' sana, 'keretuk..keretuk' sini. Mulalah Mama terfikir nak cari kawan lain. Yelah, umur pun dah lanjut, kalau nak banding dengan Mama ni, lebih kurang je kut. Kita pun duk bunyi sana, lutut duk ber'keriuk' juga..hmm bahaya juga kalau Papa pun terpikir sama ni.

Tahun lepas Mama terjumpa Odah - Cenoni, Ranggi & Vogue! Dah lah tinggi, besar dan mengancam juga dia punya looks. Sekali lalu ada juga kepala yang terpusing. Mama cukup berkenan dengan sifat-sifat Odah ni, tapi setakat tahun lalu Mama rasa macam masih sayangkan Bedah. Bedah setia. Walaupun selalu jugak sakit dulu, Mama tetap hantar ke klinik, dan bila dia keluar klinik, macam baru keluar spa. Bila berjalan dengan Bedah, seronok lagi rasanya, smooth, strong and still fast, bak kata omputeh lah.

Tapi Mama suspen juga. Tahun lepas ada juga 2 kali kut stranded tepi jalan dengan Bedah. Sampai kena panggil ambulan angkat Bedah ke klinik yang kali kedua tu. Masa tu Papa ada. Kunun nak pi ke pejabat berdua-dua gitu ditemani Bedah, ye lah, kita ni mana pernah pergi kerja bersama, nak jugak merasa ala-ala romantik gitu. Tapi pagi-pagi tu entah macam mana si Bedah merajuk pulak, sampai hot, terpaksa la berhenti kat tepi NKVE menghala ke tol Jalan Duta. Bedah macam mengamuk aje, terus nak stop and berasap. Papa pun macam nak hangin la masa tu coz dia nak cepat sampai ke meeting dia. We all stop kat tepi jalan nak bagi Bedah cool dulu. Tapi Papa kan macam biut gitu, tak sabar, nak jugak belek si Bedah ni. Bedah pun apa lagi, bertambah upset la dia, tengah-tengah berasap tu, dia sembur la kat Papa. Dah Papa mengalami kecederaan kat tangan kanan, habis kena angin hot Bedah.

Inilah penangan hangin Bedah


Kesian Papa, tapi tulah akibat degil. Dia jugak yang selalu pesan kat Mama kalau Bedah hangin jangan diusik, bagi Bedah cool dulu. Last-last kita pun terpaksa tunggu ambulan angkat Bedah and lepas tu pi klinik rawat tangan Papa. Kerja ke mana, meeting ke mana, kita pun duk diam-diam kat rumah lepas tu. Well, tu peristiwa tahun lepas in April. Now dah nak April semula. Mama masih lagi teringat kat Odah. Bila tengok Odah kat jalan, rasa macam syok je kalau Mama dapat Odah jadi teman baru Mama.

Tapikan, kalau nak bertemankan Odah, Mama kena selalu maintain perbelanjaan Odah, macam maintain perbelanjaan anak-anak juga. Tapi Odah high maintenance juga. Macam Bedah, Mama dah lama tak belanja bulan-bulan untuk dia. Sekali-sekala bawak Bedah ke spa, tak de la terasa sangat. Tapi bila mengingatkan stranded tepi jalan sorang-sorang dengan Bedah yang suka mematikan diri tu, rasa macam tak sanggup aje. Nak nangis tau bila sorang-sorang macam ni, dah le laki jauh di perantauan. Pilu je mengenang nasib diri.

Hari tu hint juga kat Papa that Mama nak teman baru. Papa kata bagi list teman-teman baru dan perbelanjaan yang terbabit. Hmm, macam bagus je bunyi tu. Tapi kan, Papa macam tak berapa sukakan Odah. Dia suruh suggest yang lain. Mama rasa macam Odah lah yang terbaik dengan value for money kalau nak di compare dengan yang lain-lain. Kali ni Mama rasa nak teman yang tinggi dan sporty pulak, so Mama mencari dalam kategori yang itulah. I tell you yang lain macam high maintenance je kalau nak kawan dengan depa, or Mama yang punya taste yang mahal?

Entahlah, bila pikir pasal nak belanja lebih tu rasa tak syok pulak. Tapi bila pikir bab kena tinggal tepi jalan tu...hmmm!

Maggi

This school holidays, Mama export the big kids balik kampung.

So it's just Mama & Aisha.

One night, we were so hungry. So Mama decided to make Ibu Mee Goreng. While eating, suddenly Aisha said,

"Mama, look, Aisha makan rambut Aisha!"

My Girls' Arts

Aisha really loves drawing and sketching. At 2, she could already hold the pencil like a 5-year-old. She will just ask for a pencil and papers and she can just be in her own world. Well, that's good for Mama, I can run my errands while she's occupied.

This one below is a cockroach, one mighty big cockroach! She did this in August 2009, barely 2.5 yrs old.



This "shotong" was drawn on a napkin paper while waiting for our food in that kopitiam in Shah Alam's Tesco early this year.



While this one below is actually a hanger, with eyes! Drawn on a doodle about two weeks back.



And this cute turtle...well, it's Kak Aina's work of art. That's another girl who loves art, and I wonder where she gets that from, hmmm....

She could just watch TVIQ and after that immediately improvised based on the things we have at home. There's a lot more work that Mama has not been able to capture on camera..but I'll find them soon..



Another one by Aina

Pumpkin's Phasing

February 22, 2011

My little pumpkin is no longer little. She's 3 already. Time really flies. I think last year went like a breeze. And my kids are all grown up.

I remember about 4 years ago when at one point I felt so sick I thought it was gastric. My boss gave me some gastric pills and said "take this, as long as your not pregnant"

Then it struck me. So quickly I dashed to the panel clinic in the next block, and there I just blinked with amazement when the doctor told me I was pregnant. I could already imagine the late nights and the extra luggage. But then, it was indeed a pleasant surprise..another little body to snuggle with..



Mama is as busy as ever. Couldn't even plan for a birthday party though Mama has long bought some party bags and treats. But when the time came, Mama had to just buy some cupcakes on the way back from work. Kesian my little Pumpkin.



But kids being kids, any treat on their birthday is a blast. As long as we remember.



So there she goes, one happy kid with a few candles on her birthday.
