Hari raya for Bibik Part IX

Part I | Part II | Part III | Part IV | Part V | Part VI | Part VII | Part VIII



Salam lebaran Bibik ucapkan kepada pembaca belog ini, jika masih ada yang sudi membaca.

Seperti tahun-tahun yang sudah, Bibik masih lagi setia untuk mencoretkan kisah hari lebaran Bibik di belog ini.

Pada tahun ini, Bibik bercuti agak lama sedikit.  Sebenarnya, cuti yang Bibik mohon hanya 2 hari (1 hari sebelum raya, dan 1 hari selepas raya).  Tetapi hero kecil Bibik telah menyebabkan Bibik bercuti 1 hari lebih awal.  Hero kecil Bibik sebenarnya hendak tumbuh gigi (sudah berusia 8 bulan tetapi 1 batang gigi pun belum tumbuh) dan dia menangis kesakitan sepanjang malam Selasa (7 Sep 2010).  Bibik hanya dapat melelapkan mata selama 2 jam sahaja pada malam itu kerana hero kecil Bibik sentiasa hendak menyusu (iya, hero kecil Bibik masih lagi menyusu badan).  Paginya pula, badan Bibik terasa kurang sihat dan rasa badan Bibik kurang hidrat (dehydrated).  Pabila ke klinik, doctor bilang tekanan darah Bibik agak rendah dan tonsil Bibik sudah merah (tanda hendak demam/batuk).  Jadi Bibik diberi cuti sakit pada hari itu (yeaaahoooo!).

Kami sekeluarga telah beraya di rumah keluarga Bibik pada pagi raya.  Kami memulakan persiapan memasak pada hari sebelumnya.  Tahun ini, Bibik telah dikecualikan daripada tugasan memasak dan mengemas kerna Bibik menjaga hero kecik Bibik.  Tambahan pula, Bibik telah mengambil saorang bibik tua (BiTu) untuk menguruskan kerja-kerja rumah dan menjaga hero kecik semasa Bibik ke kantor.  Jadi BiTu lah yang membantu Ibuk dan Cik Puan di dapur.

Raya tahun ini agak meriah dengan kehadiran hero kecil Bibik.  Perhatian semua telah tertumpu kepadanya.  Ibuk, Cik Puan, BiJu dan bapanya sibuk melayan kerenah hero kecil Bibik.  Jeritan hilai ketawa memenuhi setiap ruang rumah pabila melihat hero kecil Bibik yang berbaju melayu teluk belanga berwarna merah dan bersamping hitam itu membuat telatah-telatah lucunya.  Habis balang-balang kuih dicapainya dan sampul duit raya dimakannya.

Pada petang hari raya, kami telah pulang ke rumah mertua Bibik di Hulu Langat.  Sekali lagi hero kecil Bibik menjadi perhatian ramai.  Kami semua dikejutkan dengan aksi "hero" oleh hero kecil Bibik pabila dia tiba-tiba merampas puting daripada mulut sepupunya.  Budak lelaki yang berusia setahun lapan bulan itu terus menangis sekuat-hati dan hero kecil Bibik hanya tersenyum sipu... Gawat Bibik dibuatnya!  Kecil-kecil sudah tunjuk lagak...

Oleh kerna terlalu banyak menelan sisa-sisa sampul duit raya pada hari raya, kami telah menjumpai sisa-sisa sampul duit tersebut didalam najis hero kecil Bibik pada malam raya berkenaan.  Ada cebisan berwarna merah, biru, kuning dan hijau!  Sakit perut kami ketawa pabila kami sedang menukar lampin hero kecil Bibik malam itu.  Yang paling kelakar pula, hero kecil juga turut ketawa pabila melihat mummy dan daddy nya gelak besar.  Kartun sungguh hero kecil Bibik itu.

Begitulah cerita lebaran Bibik pada tahun ini.  Memang meriah sekali dengan kehadiran anggota keluarga baru.  Diharapkan kalian semua menyambut lebaran tahun ini dengan meriah juga disamping keluarga tercinta.

Hingga ketemu lagi di tahun hadapan... Daaaa....

Of Ladybug, Bee and Accidents...

We had a very hectic Merdeka Day yesterday...

We spent our day @ IKEA, trying to find more furniture for the house.  Even though we have moved into the house for almost 8 months now, it is still decor-less apart from the basic sofa, dining set and bedroom set.

Since it was a holiday, I decided to bring Noah along.  I didn't want him to spend the holiday with bibik, as normal days.  And since his daddy forgot to put his stroller into my car, I was left to wear the 8kg boy through out the 2 hrs!

2 hrs and a dozen of picture frames later, we went off to venture into IKANO in search of a color printer.  I decided to get a good quality printer as I plan to print out pictures to be framed and put in albums for the grandparents (they want to show off their grandson during raya!).

We spotted a kiosk that takes cute baby photos on the 2nd floor and decided to take a portrait of the lil boy.  They dressed him up in a ladybug and bee costume and managed to capture lots of cute shots.  Mind you, it is hard for my son to actually sit still for more than 10 seconds.  He is forever moving!  From the moment he open his eyes in the morning, to the moment he falls asleep, he will be either crawling, or climbing or just simply waving his hands and legs up in the air.



On our way back, Mr Judge had an accident when the trolley that he was pushing got stuck on the escalator and pushed him backwards.  He almost fell on his back if it was not for the people behind him that had managed to hold him up.  Due to that, he had pulled a muscle and was in terrible pain.  He had to limb the whole way back to the car.

We went to the clinic and the doctor gave him a shot to ease the pain.  He is now on medication and is still limping to move about.

This morning, during sahur, Noah pulak had an accident.  He fell off the bed!

We usually leave him to sleep on the bed while we have our sahur.  However, this morning, he was awaken by the alarm clock and I had to nurse him to sleep.  I guess he was only half asleep when I went out to eat and was trying to crawl out of bed when he fell.

The next thing I know he was screaming on top of his lungs, crying on the floor in our bedroom.

Kesian my little ladybug...  He now has a black eye... I just hope that the bengkak will go off in time for raya...

8 months and counting...



Noah's development milestone to-date:

  • he loves to laugh like 'Haji Bakhil'
  • he can crawl non-stop
  • he can now stand on his own with ease 
  • he is starting to walk while holding on to the sofa/cot
  • he babbles non-stop
  •  he puts everything into his mouth
  • and he now have separation anxiety when even mummy leaves his sight

He is a lot of work, but I can't imagine what my life would be without him.

Of being a year older

The day has come again...  A day that marks an additional number to my age.

*sigh*  if only the number gets smaller every year ;)

Reflecting on the past year of my life, I have learn that:-
  • life is too precious to be wasted by surrounding yourself with negativity
  • there is more animosity in my current organisation than all my previous organisations combined
  • babies are miracles from Allah
  • good friends are hard to find
  • money is NOT the key to happiness
I seriously can't wait to find out what I have in store for me in the up-coming year. All I wish for is that the decision that I have made (career wise) will be the right one and the best one for me. Insyaallah...

Salam Ramadhan

It is already the 2nd day of fasting.  Time flies... The next thing you know, it will be Aidilfitri once again.

This year, I am going to try to reduce the trips to the bazaar ramadhan.  I bet the prices of food this year are going to be ridiculously high.  Since Mr Judge and I have launched our Project Jimat, I will try my best to prepare home cooked meal every single day, as what we have been practicing for the past few months.

Ramadhan this year is a bit different from the previous years because 1) we have a little boy that needs lots of attention from us, 2) Mr Judge's brother is now staying with us and 3) we have a maid.  Hence, now we have extra 3 people to think of.  We can no longer relax and decide on what to eat  one hour before iftar.  We can no longer take our time to enjoy the food during iftar. 

But I am not complaining.  At least now, I can say that the family is complete (almost!).

Alhamdulillah.

Selamat berpuasa to all!

I'm back!!!

7 months of silence...  WOW!

Now I'm back!
Hope to kick-start the blog again.

I miss writing so much. However, my current position restricts me from the freedom of pouring my soul out here.

Despite all the restrictions, I am hoping to break the barrier and be free again. To hell with what people think. It's my space and I'll write if I want to.

So... HELLO WORLD!



binx: boo!
