the last whole week with my baby before wednesdays and thursdays start, amongst other things.
we had a sentosa picnic planned on wednesday afternoon but it rained and rained so we headed to vivo for a bit, and then to earle swensens at t3 for dinner with zain and parents, and faiz and sheila.
and then we met the girls on thursday night for dinner at... earle swensens again! i'm on love with their salad buffet, and am glad to intro it to tini, who i'm sure will drag rock for some salad loving too! :)
waiting for auntini and aunteacher @ terminal 3
at 1030pm and she's not even close to being sleepy!
not much difference eh? the top was new year 2008 at fish&co, the bottom is last thursday!
on saturday after springcleaning the woodlands room we went to simei for baby elisa's cukur rambut.
and then off to simpang for dinner with the faiz/sheila duo again!
16 more days till she turn 1!

friday 5ive
lunch @ McD, stopped by the takababyfair for a bit, retreated to the nursery on level 3 and then omgwthbrb thegirl slept while i pushed her around in the stroller! may i add this rarely happens as she'd always need me to dodoi her to sleep.. and usually when i dodoi her to sleep and attempt to put her slowly in the stroller, she'll wake up screaming?!
so anyway, we trooped to paragon after that where ianian was lulled to sleep at the nursery heh, and the mommies had breeze windowshopping. mandatory stop at vitakids to stock up on the organix munchies and then to starbucks. and then i got hungry so fish&co it is.. where i satisfied my monthlong craving for swordfish collllaaaaaah!
dahlia sayang, can dont be so garang anot? girl cannot be so garang tau! nanti ibu susah.. nanti ibu will have heartattack like your nyai a few yrs ago, when your nyai asked me when i will settle down.. ibu said "when i turn 35, ma!" :)

today we took a little trip down memory lane, to where we first heard her little meek cries. where she pooped sweet smelling poop all over the weighing scale which guarantees and confirms that she's ayah's little baby. where i almost KO-ed in the toilet after delivering her coz i action gung-ho only hehe.
it's been exactly 11 mths! her little meek cries are now attention seeking screams. her sweet smelling poop can lawan her ayah's and i'm not KO-ing just yet.. in fact i'm enjoying life at home! :)
she can't keep still!
so ayah keeps her occupied..
while i ravaged the freshest bun out of the oven, Muhammad Rayyan!
feels nice to wake up on a Monday morning and find an sms from a new mommie AND THEN being able to visit newbaby and newmommie straight away.. no monday blues! :) congrats to BFF maisarah and asid for the little bundle of joy! like finally, one of the geng with a baby! now i simply cant wait for raya coz we'll be zipping around with the babies hehe.
speaking of zipping around.. dahlia and ibu's been doing just that lately. and even managed to be patriotic singaporeans and escape to malacca for a weekend!
oh hello!
lunchdate with sarah and siti @ united square
teatime dates with zac/bena, jordan/gywen & sarah/siti
grocery shopping with ayah!
so yeah, i've been nicely occupying myself at home. and hopefully i'd still be able to spend as much time with her when tues/thurs starts :)

they'll be back tomorrow!!
dearest d,
it's been more than a week since your nyai and yai's gone off to perform their umrah so for one whole week ibu and ayah had to play nanny. :)
on sunday, the both of us and a bunch of our friends from sept07 went for the kindermusik trial.
that's you and ian carried by auntie billa, who helped ibu with carrying you for a bit while i fished the (@^#!(! buzz out of the cab-boot.
(l-r)jordan, kelly, d & ian
after the uneventful trial class, we both did a spot of shopping at forum while waiting for ayah. waited for quite a bit, so we used the Mommy's Room as our secret hideout, heh heh.
we slept over at your atok's place that night, and the next morning i had to tear myself away from you. i kept telling myself, i'll see you in less than four hours' time... guess I'm the one suffering from separation anxiety instead of you eh? :) i prepared a list of things ayah needed to pack for the day, and a bit of this and that. and oh, a PLEASE DO NOT SPEED warning at the end of the printout.
why? coz on this day, ayah did something he has never ever done before. he drove from woodlands to my office building........... with you in the carseat! i must say he passed with flying colors! he dropped you off and after visiting my colleagues for a bit, off we went to en en's pad at redhill! only then did ibu realise your ayah has forgotten to pack your lunch, urgh!
en en, d & zac at the far back
on tuesday, after fetching you from atok's house we stomped home and i prepared the stuff for pizza, by special request from your bibik i'in. HOWEVER, none of your bibiks came home for dinner so NO pizzas were made. fine, i said. give them chance. but ayah said it was one of the best pizzas he's ever tasted :)
on wednesday i decided to take the whole day off, and WALLA! finally i can proudly stand up to the world and annouce that i have done the 'Poop While Holding Your Baby In Your Lap' deed! coz even though i pooped with the toilet door opened and you right in front of the door in your exersaucer, you wailed out for the residents of istanbul to hear! so i hauled you off your toy and placed you on my lap while i pushed with all my might. when it was time for me to cebok, i held you around my right arm, i turned behind for the hose and let my right hand grip the head. i turned on the hose with my left, aimed superbly wrong and drenched the both of us in water! it was really a hilarious sight, if only somebody could have recorded our antics :)
lounging with ibu at the living room on your bumpermat..
ibu cooked again this day and AGAIN your bibiks came home late. by 9 they were not home yet so i called their mobiles and screamed for the residents of turkey to hear! once they got home, they showered and both went straight to bed! again i screamed out loud at them coz it was bloody rude of them to ignore what i painstakenly cooked! top this off with an ability to make a chocolate sponge cake siap dengan chocolate frosting and roasted almonds eh. but of course... UNAPPRECIATED!!
now i know how my mom feels when we come home late and dont eat dinner :(
on thursday you rode in the car again with ayah, who has planned a whole day out! though at first we had to wait for ayah to finish meeting a client at icon. we lounged at the nice huge sofa at the lobby where you chatted up a guy who was on his lunchbreak :)
gelare while waiting for ayah's client to arrive
flasher at icon's lobby!
you were relegated to the back seat and it felt funny at first not having you in my arms while in the car, but you seemed fine though you love to tilt your head to the side to gaze at the trees whizzing by.
roadtripper
ayah bought me a lightweight stroller from graco so ibu can now happily bring you out without needing to think twice about escalators or hauling the )@#&)@! buzz out of the cab-boot, superyeay!! ouh, we managed seoul garden with a demanding 8mth old baby after the stroller purchase! then off to the toy fair at the basement where ayah got you an FP activity table :)
on friday ayah drove you to my office building again and dropped us off at the singapore expo as we're to meet mama justme and sarah for the motherhood fair! we had a great time with sarah and her mummy and ibu was really thankful for the lightweight stroller :) and get this, i even took the escalator.... and the mrt with you!! wowoweeewah!!
sarah and dahlia after milk and lunch
now it's my turn to have lunch, you sit and watch k
twas a fun fun day!
can you believe that i managed to lug one diaper bag, one huge shopping bag, one stroller and one baby up three fleets of stairs?? walla!
on saturday since ibu's nyai and yai will be sleeping over i decided to drag bibik fidzah and you to amkhub to get some fish to make a sweet&sour dish. so we supermarketed and went home to fry the fish... which apparently is the WRONG fish lar! we bought ikan kekek instead of ikan bawal, sheesh. after a whole day of kecohchachahemoh, we lepaked in front of the tv.
your latest stunt, the 'AHHH-DIA-NAK-ADIK' pose, hrmph!
the pinhole-by-fisher-price series
today your mak nyai came by to visit, with your wak chomel. and tomorrow, ibu's ma and pa will be back. we videocalled them every single day, remember? hehe. we had fun the whole week sayang, i'll gladly do it again with you!

she turns yeight!
i long for long-er weekends please. they should have like 4 days of vesak day or something la seriously.
we lounged at home on saturday morning, the boy left for his shoot at noon and we rolled in and out of bed. i started streaming friends when i was on maternity leave, and finished off the last episode of season 10 with d last saturday. took a nice 4 hr nap with her on our bed, woke up with a jolt at 6 and immediately roused her from sleep and got ready to leave for Pameran. spent about an hour at Pameran chingchong a bit, and then to wati & meraj's chalet at changi cottage, where while crawling on the wooden floor upstairs, she rolled to her side and konked her head for a bit.
sunday morning woke up to news that mummy is warded for a blood clot on her right leg. the boy left for his shoot again at noon and as soon as d woke up from her nap and lunched, i hauled her in the bjorn, met lipglossy and sarah @ yishun mrt and led ourselves to marina sq. main aim was to test drive a lightweight stroller that i can fold and open with one hand. and that's the combi well comfort. the damage? $450. the boy will kill me la. hate late lunch/early dinner at secret recipe, walked around a bit, mimi showed me the way to hip carry using the hotsling (i still fail, i need a bigger size!!) and then the boy picked us up and headed to the hospital to visit mummy. met up with The Noons there and then supper at bedok corner. damnit i'm craving for a good oyster ommelette now :(
monday morning after her first feed i brought her out for a nice sunny walk and checked out the temporary cold storage tentage in front of y10, and it sucked. only managed to get pumpkin and sweet potato for d's consumption. thought of heading to k.palace but looking at the time it was only 9.30am. took a cab back to our place, YES cab coz it was so freaking hot. got back, fed her breakfast and as she just plonked her head for her nap i received smses about a last minute gathering at one of the sept07 mummies' place! So while most of the others were already making their way to blue's place, I was waiting eagerly for d to wake up from her nap. at 12.30 i realised if i ever wanted to make it to blue's place i needed to make some noise so she'll wake up heh. and so i did, we got ready as fast as we could and zoomed off to bishan.
these are from darmae :)
the girls, minus shy Yan. d was busy clapping.
the boys with half a zac who was sleeping on his dad's lap
twas nice meeting up with these ladies who i've been talking online with for a year plus, at least. the babies got along very well! we should have another meetup soon :)
left for nurul's at 3ish, nurul made maggi goreng, huda the VERY capable ANAK DARA made crabstick and cheese wantan and fruit salad and me, brownies with chocolate ganache. after the feast we sprawled on the floor with d, the weather was just too hot to handle lah! drilled huda 'da princess' a bit heh heh.
happy 8th month, my darling. i love it when you clap on cue, or when you see us clapping. 8mth old and clapping, masyaAllah!
last night i lay beside you and watched you sleep with your pursed lips like your ayah, your eyes half closed even though you're deep in sleep, just like me. i ruffle your sweaty head of curls and place my finger in your hand and realised the three days spent with you were priceless. i wanna do it all over again :)
