TWENTY THIRTEEN

Left too long this blog of mine.. its been a year and a LOT of things have changed.. including my weight *sighs* but hopefully that will change this year. A New Year eve spent with my loving family.. 2 days after back to work full swing.

It has been three weeks into the new year .. so far.. on the work front we know it will get messier then ever .. a learning curve and will definitely bring in the paradigm shift however way we look at it. Hoping though it will end well (thats the optimistic me talking).

Three weeks into the New Year on the health front . . it has been 2 course of antibiotics.. from bad flu and swollen gums now having chest infections with bronchospasm... duh.. coughing your guts out is not conducive to my plans .. you cough every hour and cant get any decent sleep.. Allah have mercy on me and may my sins be forgiven. Now to pick up where i left off early last year.. yes.. my fitness regime and healthier diet.

This coming week will be heavy with important meetings and all that. Will for sure try to get on the health bandwagon.. sleep earlier and have a more healthier and balanced lifestyle .

This year.. My Lil'D started year 1...guess who was more nervous.. yes I was not ready but thankfully D was excited and so ready to go into his new school.. so far so good and am hoping for a great great experience it is what I call the second hurdle after montessori .. primary school! He has gotten many merit stars and its only 2 weeks of school :)


On that note here's to a better and more fulfilling year!

One of those conversations..

My not so lil D comes up with the most interesting Gems now and again. Smart Alec!

So as not to forget I shall try to preserve those "gems" in here now and again the following was what I remembered most:

(1) Lil D at 3

I Laf youuu..


(2) lil D at 4

In the car.. his Dad and I were having one of those random conversations that was very animated it may seem like a debate.. the lil guy was at the back playing his game.. quiet. The conversation got more animated and the lil guy gave his best "stern" voice and went.."Come on guys.. cut it out .. don't fight" hahahaha...I had to explain to him that Mommy and Babah were not fighting.. we were having a conversation.. and he said .."Not too loud guys" :P who is the parent here??!


(3) Lil D at 2 months after turning 5 years old

We were going around looking for a tailor that does an Army Uniform for his end of year concert. We had lunch but I did not get a chance to bring him to the lil men's room . So his Dad kept annoying him.. D... do you need pow pow..he went .. Nooo... the Dad did not stop there.. he went.. D.. you surreeeeee you don't wanna poo poo.. and he went noooo no needdd..and his dad went.. you sureee you dont wanna sheesheee.. by now he was growing tired of his Dad's incessant questions... His Dad asked.. your bag dont want to go to poo poo? D said.. NO!.. the dad laughed at his own jokes (I was busy playing scrabble on the Hubz iPhone)..what did the lil guy say.. Babah.. you ALWAYS make bad JOKES! hahahaha.. I almost peed on my pants.. the Hubz did not have a good come back for that! hehe..

The pic on this post is of Lil D with a schoolmate in their cute lil uniforms :) adorable!

(4) Lil D at 5

The Lil Guy have been pestering me for a lil sister or brother.. he says ada baby dalam parut mummy ..I want 2 okay.. and I say InsyaAllah . . you pray that Mommy can give you a sister or brother okay.. and he went off happy. The next day he ran into the room and say.. Mom I dont want baby.. no need to have baby.. and I went WHY ? he said.. I dont want you to get cut open when they need to take the baby out.. (I have noooo idea where he got that from either)! I had to explain to him that Doc's can do wonders and I wont feel any pain.. :P Then he said ok .. I want 2 ..If only Babies grow on trees!

After coming home from getting some stuff.. the lil Guy and I lingered outside admiring the moon..It was full moon. The moon looked so Big and Bright tonite.. Danial and I was appreciating it outside the house.. I said ...wah D the Moon look soooo Biggg and prettyyy... D said.. yessss.. its so Bigg and brightt.. why is the moon following me all the time :P heehhehe..

I love these moments..

TWENTY TWELVE

The first month of Twenty Twelve is almost gone.. the second months is upon us.. my how fast time is moving past.

Have been feeling physically and emotionally tired after a jam packed end of Dec 2011 and early Jan 2012. Got back to work and we had a strategic prioritization done..stuff on my plate..is tremendous!

Trying very hard to snap out of this malancholic feeling and get on with it.. what is clear is this..I refuse to read to much into things.. but I am only human . We feel ..We hurt.. We get annoyed..We worry.

On the home front.. My D came home telling me he can read . I took that with a pinch of salt, the week before we had done some reading and he was hesitant or not very confident although he can actually spell and sound the letters phonetically.

To my surprise.. this week he read 30 sentences surely and steadily.. oh I was sooo sooo proud! the more he progressed the more I cheered him on the more he was excited to spell and read. Alhamdulillah.

His maths (addition) was going very well too.. he loves his numbers it appears.

Am praying that this continues just so he does not have to face any more difficulties when he goes into Primary 1 next year. A big year next year and Hubz and I are still undecided as to which school to send him to. I hope we make the right decision and its a decision we will have to make fast in order to ensure he has a place to go to.
