Too thin

I was looking at some of my picture that it hit me. I look so thin that its not funny. Seriously, kalau orang kata mcm drug addict pun boleh percaya. Tapi bila tengok perut...haha, lain cerita.
Ok, bottom line is, I'm totally out of shape. The face is cekung, the boobs fluctuates (depending on the milky station), the tummy..too obvious....argh!
So yeash, my modus operandi for the moment is to do sit ups before bed. I can do it in front of the TV while the kids are either sleeping or awake. So, i hope this works.
Eat more? shesh....i eat more than anyone i know who is not breastfeeding.
I just need to exercise... Perhaps a new pair of sneakers to motivate me to go jogging around the block???? Or a new exercise CD for me to work it at home??

The Beach

Its been a while since i last blogged. Lack of time? Not in my priority list kot.....

Neways, we went to PD last weekend. It was great. The beach is like how it used to be 20 years ago. There were sea shells everywhere. And the small beach crabs were loads of fun for the kids to chase. I love the small round shells. There were millions of them on the beach...

Kids enjoyed themselves, Ayesha was allowed to roam around on her own. No fear of her bumping into objects or falling and hurting herself. It felt good. She was indeed rather independent, doing her own thing.

Since we went at low tide, the kids enjoyed themselves at the shallow water, and lame waves. Good enough and safe enough. I loved it!

Nabil loved the sand. He dug here there, built many things, used his imagination. But one thing remains, he needs attention. Young man, just cannot layan diri like his lil sister. Someone had to be there for him all the time. Lucky thing the grandparents were around.

I'd say, the PD trip was great. Kids had fun with nature..Needless to say, both kids ended up with a tan.

Next week will be another adventure....

Nabil goes to school

Yesterday was Nabil's second session in Tumble Tots (Playphonics). This time i told myself that i will not go to school with him. So, as we approach Tumble Tots, I slowly crept away into Living Quarters. I watched him walk to school with Daddy. I waited for Daddy to slowly come out of Tumble Tots. So out came Daddy, I was aw BB Max. I heard him crying from there. I cried too...
Daddy had promised him Optimus Prime of Nabil stays in school without Mummy & Daddy. We couldn't find any OP at The Curve or Ikano. So, I got him some marshmallows.
10 mins to 2pm, I went to TT. Nabil saw me and I was dragged in. But i let him be on his own. I just sat there and read some magazines.
After his class, I congratulate him for attending school all by himself. And off we went to find OP at One Utama. Because Daddy could redeem points at Parkson, so we looked for OP there. An OP costs RM2**. Crazy or what??? I didn't agree with it so instead we got Nabil a computer (my leap pad). And for Ayesha, I got her an SUV with a mummy & baby.
Nabil slept on the way home and Ayesha loved her purple SUV.
A grumpy Nabil woke up asking for his OP. Oh Oh! We're in trouble. I reminded him that we didn't find the right OP but instead he got a computer.
I then realised that the leap pad needed batteries (AAA lagi)..ayoh. Off we went to 7E. I thought Nabil how to use the Leap Pad. He absolutely loves it and does not bother Ayesha with her Leap Pad anymore.....:)

Ayesha turns 13 months

My baby girl is already 13 months old. Time seems to fly these days. I can still remember the days that I was pregnant with her...the delivery...and now she's 13 months old...
At 13 months old she can say mama, dada, kakak go (when she doesn't want the maid), tah, nenen, nanak, nak nak, bang (for abang nabil), shoes. Which i think is pretty good. Congrats Baby!
Ayesha is also capable of walking on her own. Attempts to jump, but the closest she got was a highland fall from the side table to a mattress. She can feed herself, well its messy but she gets food in. She can hit a golf ball with a club (Abang's toys..), loves playing with cars. And can kiss, hug and give a flying kiss.
We're currently learning colours and shapes using her leapfrog pad.

On a different note, my maid has been with us for 1 year..almost. She'll be staying for another year before taking a break to her hometown. Then, the plan is for her to continue for another 2 or 3 years. Thank God! I think this is also due to the influence of MIL's maid which has been with MIL for 8 years. For that I am happy and thankful.

3 years old and a new class

Yesterday was Nabil's first day attending Playphonics & 3-5 at Tumble Tots. Being a 3-5 class, it does not require parent participation. We were suppose to leave him there to learn and play with the staff & his friends.
So, during the ride to The Curve, Hubby & I told Nabil that he was going to a different class and nobody is bringing their mummy or daddy. He didn't sound too happy about it.
All of us went to send him. I'm thinking that i'll leave once his class starts. But, he made it very clear that he wanted me around. He ran from his class every other minute just to make sure I was still around. Then when i thought he was absorbed in class, i tip toed out, with Hubby. Not even 1 minute away, I could hear him crying. Ouch! that hurts. So, i went back in. Only to get a scolding from him. 'i told you, i want you mummy. Stay here. Understand?!'
Understand, Nabil. So i sat throughout his whole class. grrrr....
I'm thinking that next week, I'll get hubby to send him. Its much easier for him to get away as compared to me.....
Sigh! Must my little boy grow up?

Dreaming a little...

A few nights ago, the kids slept early. This means that the parents gets to go out. So, out we went for a mexican dinner. We went to Clientelle or something like dat in Dataran Sunway. Very near our place, just in case the kids wakes up, we can run home. It was my very first Mexican meal. I love the dessert there, Chocolate Chimichangga (i think), Next time, when i need a good dessert, i know where to find it...yummy!
Then on, we went to look a houses in the neighbourhood. I actually spotted a nice house that was for sale. I took down the number. A few days later, i called the number and got a price. RM1.088m. grrrrrr.. The house has 6+1 rooms. Lets see, that means a room for the parents, one for each kids, one guest room, one maid room that 5 already...one playroom? hahhaha, for the kids la! Nah, i should turn it into a library.
I really liked the driveway. It has a long driveway. If we keep minimal amount of cars, the kids would have plenty of room for running. Best!

Thank you

Every household would have at least one breadwinner. The idea is to generate incomhne. How important in income? Necessity!
I read that money is just an illussion. Its there but its not necessary. Because of the principles behind it. Money is used as a medium. To purchase something, you need. To obtain a certain lifestyle, you need to spend money. You see, the key word here is lifestyle.
What kind of lifestlye you want determines how much money you need. (statement A)
But for most of us, we live in the world whereby how much money we have, will determine what kind of life we live. (statement B)
We have to shift our life from B to A. Because, it is very important to know what you want. When you know what you want, be thankful for what you want, the How will come naturally.
Its like you have a dream, and you imagine of having it already, so you thank Allah (or whoever you pray to). Allah will see that you can appreciate it and your Doa will be fullfilled.
This kind of dreaming isn't just daydreaming or wishful thinking, it come with real feelings and mindset.
Gratitude is very2 important. I mean if you live in a small house and you want a bigger house. You have to be thankful for what you have first, then be thankful for what you will have. Because imagine God is sitting in your mind. He hears you complaining...'this house is so small, i can't wait to get our of this hell hole'...God is thinking, aren't you lucky you have a place. If you can;t be thankful for what i already gave you, I'm pretty sure you'll never be thankful for a bigger house.
True? I would think so...
Well, all this information didn't come from me, these statements were from books and friends whom i am thankful for.
Today, I made RM1***. I'm happy and thankful for the extra cash. I do know that all the extra cash that keep flowing in will change my lifestyle.
Dear Allah, thank you for the life i have, for the family i have, and for the money that changes our life. Thank you.
