05 Syawal 1427

At 9am this morning the entire family drove up to JB to visit Cik Senin. We expected the rest of our relatives to have arrived earlier than us. It turned out that we were the only ones who came. The rest got held back for some reasons.

This year's Aidilfitri... Md Ehsan stole the limelight. Everyone is eager to carry him around. Some thought he's already a year old, some thought he could walk. Patience, people. Akan datang... next year. =)

30 Ramadan 1427

Phew! Just back from my sister's house. Entire family break our fast there, including grandfather.

Arrangement made was last minute. Doesn't matter. Rain or shine that didn't stop us from playing with sparkles (mini fireworks).

10 points for guessing the one who bought them.







Md Ehsan - The Tarzan Boy?

Office is closed today. I woke up early as usual and took care of Md Ehsan.

Till now, his favourite word remains "Da da" or "Ah da da". At times when he struggled to be carried, he will say "Da da" (Done). My usual reply will be "Belum" (Not yet). Heehee =) There is also the occassional fake "Ah cheem" (sneeze) that he does to attract our attention. The real actual sneeze makes him puzzled.

This morning he was slightly cranky and sleepy. Yawning non-stop yet refusing to sleep. He was scratching his head and fidgeting about while I carried him. Then he started patting my arm. Gave him water to quench his thirst. I didn't want to make him too full as he was eating cereal later. I didn't want him to fall asleep midway thru his cereal too. Better let him sleep first.

Warna FM94.2 was on the radio. I think DJs Adi & Abishek were on air. They were mentioning some 1900 number for donation and I got a bit put off. It's one thing to advertise but when they started announcing those numbers in a spontaneous burst of creative jingles, it sounded more like a ridicule.

The minute they started their nonsense, I started mine. Feigning a scream, I went "Aaaarrrgghh!" with my eyes closed and head shaking. Out of the blue Md Ehsan went "Aaaaaaargghh!" too.

Oh my god! He's copying! I did it again and he followed. By this time, I had started laughing at his antics. Gradually his scream softened. I carried him to the living hall and put him to sleep soon after that.

Up from nap, he was back to his usual active self.

Took his bath after his breakfast...


Don his red romper with hood...


And he pooped right after all that! Had him changed and let him wore the GAP romper I had bought.

Another milestone

I was getting ready for work this morning. Mom was in the showers. Nobody else was home. As usual I carried Md Ehsan to my room and lay him down on the bed. Next thing I knew, he showed off his trick.

I was so stunned that I got speechless. From the middle of the bed, he had moved all the way to the edge. My heart jumped up to my throat.

Little boy blue smiled as Aunty Long gasped. You bet he was proud of his achievement.

I set up my digicam on the tripod. Quickly carried him and lay him down on the bed again. Almost instantly, he rolled over on his stomach...

21 Ramadan 1427

The 1st iftar organised this year, I gave a miss as my family was breaking fast over @ sister's house. The 2nd iftar was attended by us 5 ladies.

We met up around 6pm @ Bugis Swensens. No reservations were allowed hence we queued and waited for 1/2 hour before making our orders. Glasses of water were soon served after that. Ain almost drank hers... Mas almost drank hers too. Wait! Not yet!

We were too busy tucking into our food at the break of fast. So busy that I forgot to snap pictures. Sheesh.

After that, we left the restaurant and headed to Marina Square for desserts...



Before making our way to Tanjong Rhu.





Thanx for the lovely Ladies' Night Out.

Lisa Who?

I was reading thru Ain's blog this morning. Decided to give myself a shot with the celebrity-look-a-like.


Where are the similarities? Our names?




Sorry, I only play badminton.

Saigon - No Kick

This afternoon while listening to Class 95 in the office, I sought help from Jenab & Joyah to search for a music video.

On 2nd thoughts, yeah I know it's the fasting month.



I think this is more appropriate.

13 Ramadan 1427 - Ambrosia Cafe

The BT gang met up for Iftar @ Ambrosia Cafe.


My order of Catalan Lamb. It's supposed to be the leg of a lamb. What was served looked more like a piece of steak. One portion was well done, the other was medium rare. The scoops of mashed potato that came with it was hardly swallowable.


Thank you M for this cute M&Ms. They tasted way better than our dinner. Even the Dendeng Makcik bought in Bazaar Geylang tasted better.

G A P



Just before I went to Suntec, my colleague placed this on my table. Ooooh!

2 short rompers, 1 pullover & 4 pair of socks. All from GAP. Total = S$45.00

08 Ramadan 1427

Today the family break our fast over @ my sister's house. 6 adults sat on the table with 1 little boy on his big majestic highchair. Md Ehsan happily nibbled and sucked on his teether and toys while we all tucked in.

After a while, he got bored. He banged his toys on the table... the toy flung and dropped to the floor. Ought to have let him be. But my brother-in-law bent to pick up. You can imagine what happened next. One toy after the other dropped to the floor. I think Md Ehsan has discovered another cause & effect process.

Once we were done with dinner and Maghrib prayers, all of us sat to watch tv. My youngest sister fiddled with her new Nokia phone to take pictures of Md Ehsan.

One minute he was...



Next minute he was...



He looked so stunned.
