Penin la today...

List of things to hari ni berjela-leja. Some are important and some are not-but still need attention. Started with sending the kids off to kindi and babysitter. Then to the post office to pick up my registered mail. I arrived at the PO at 8.26am. The collection counter opens at 8.30am. But at exactly 8.29am, dah buka dah. Wow! 1 minute early..bagus tu. I wasn't expecting that.

Hmm..i still have a few phone calls to make..places to go, people to see and work stuffs to do on the computer. It's now 1.11pm...lunch time. Not taking the break as i had a heavy breakfast today-Nasi Lemak with Telur Goreng and Sambal Kerang. How heavy is that? Had the headache from morning..Thought it was bcoz of waking up with an empty stomach..the gas must have gone to my head. That was why i opt for a heavy breakfast. Guess not ...cause my head still feels the same.

Maybe i should try taking a nap..if i can. Not use to taking naps la huhu.. Hope i will feel better shortly..Need to coz list masih panjang.....uwaaa

Cooked but not eaten

Cooked for dinner last nite. Hubby said he was coming home for dinner. But before coming home, he had to drop by at my mum's place as he was organizing a durian party over there. You see..me & my 2 sons..we are not a fan of durian. Nak telan pun tak leh. Bau tu,oklah kalau tak kuat..cam mat saleh plak ye..But my husband and my mum are a fanatic!

So..i waited and waited for him to come home..At 9.30pm..he still had not come home. My tummy was growling like crazy as i didn't eat lunch yesterday. At 10pm..i decided to eat dinner alone. Hubby then safely arrived at 10.30pm. He came home with a sebu tummy..from eating too much durian. He said he would eat dinner (or is it supper?) later later. So..after finished watching a movie at 8tv and putting Hafiy to sleep, i myself pun went to sleep lah.

Bila terjaga at 2pm..i found that all the cooked dishes were still on the dining table..untouched. Hmm..if i knew..i would have kept them before going to bed. Not upset..but home cooked food are best eaten hot and 'fresh'. Kalau dah masuk frigde & panaskan the next day..tak sama dah... Kan?

Hakimi@Sri Ayesha : Islamic Montessori Kindergarten

This is the kindergarten we chose for Kimi to continue his studies at. Cheee..macam further studies lepas buat degree plak ahaks! The reasons were..
1) It is an islamic school...so that he will still be in the learning environment that he is used too and can continue practicing what he knows. Before he was at ABIM islamic kindi for 2 years.
2) They are an english medium kindergarten... He needs to have a head start in his english so that he will be prepared upon entering standard 1- where science&math are taught in english.
3) They uses montessori approach..which is different than his former school. We hope that this will 'complete' him...help him to become more independent...make him a 'man' not just mummy's boy that he has always been (Nak berkepit je dengan mummy ).

Romantic? NOT!!!

Hmm... though flowers are not my thing, it does feel good to receive one, once in a while. Doesn't have to be a whole bouquet. One stalk will do. But virtual flowers and chocolates? That's not romantic..That's cheap and pathetic!

p/s..Alhamdulillah..my husband is still doing things the old fashion way :)

This is me, EXACTLY!

I was browsing and found this clip art. Upon looking at it, i felt a connection with the picture :P. A mom with two kids..(mine are both boys) and piles of unfolded washed clothes. and it is a never ending scenario..

Laundry..is a 'dirty' word. When i was growing up..it was my mother who did all the laundry (before we had a maid). Then, when the maid was around (one after another), it job was took over by her. Yep..she would put the dirty clothes in the washing machine, hang them out to dry, fold them, iron them and lastly put them on the cupboard. Short of putting the clothes in the cupboard or in the drawers je ;).

I learned to hand wash my own clothes at 13 years old when i stayed at the hostel of my semi-boarding school for a month.Don't ask me why it was only for a month. Only when i went to university that i truly washed my own clothes. Well..not really..

You see..my university was only 15 minutes away from my home. So i would go back every week. I would kumpul all off a week's soiled clothes huhu.. Then..i eventually learned that taking home a bag full of clothes is so leceh. Finally..i became 'smarter' and do laundry before i go home. I would either wash on thursday and fold them on friday or wash on friday then my roommate will help me to angkat the cleaned crispy clothes (and sometimes she folds them too-thank you kak liza ^-^).

When i got married..i live only 100 steps away from my mum's place. So once or twice a week i would go to her house to do laundry. Then..i got pregnant when we were only 3 months into the marriage. At 6 months into my pregnancy, we bought our own washing machine..a Zanussi front loading washing machine. And from there on..the washing never stops.

It used to be one load per week. When Hakimi arrives, i have to wash 3 loads a week. Now with 2 active kids (meaning more sweaty clothes), it has come to 5 loads a week-at least. If i feel lazy and skip one washing day..clothes tend to pile up very fast! And then comes the piles of clean clothes to fold over the weekend..

However, i'm thankful that Kimi is always offering his help folding the clothes. He would normally fold his own pants and undies. I used to be cerewet because he does't fold it the way i do but what the heck..nicely fold or not..it will be unfolded upon wearing, right?

p/s..i have 3 basket full of clean clothes awaits....
