Darwis Ichiro

Our current room is super small. Imran’s parent actually has provided us a bigger room  located upstairs, but since kami mcm sayang dengan bilik bawah sbb bilik bawah less warm than bilik atas yg siang-siang hari adalah macam oven kek lapis sarawak, so kami mcm malas nk pindah atas. But bilik atas mmg roomy lagi ah.

We only have 1 small table in our room, cupboards, bed, cabinet and a drawer. We bought all of our furniture from Ikea, since Ikea kinda creative in making use of limited space just like our room. Imran got the table while I took the drawer. Since we don’t want to make our small territory clutter with so many things, so we try our best to maintain position of every little things in the room. Sbb kalau bersepah sket jer, bilik nampak sempit.

Table belongs to Imran, but since I takder meja to put my things, kadang-kadang bila I nk cepat, I will tumpang sekaki letak my things on Imran’s table.

Him: Apasal buku Usana ada kt sini?
Me: I letak kejap, nnt I simpan lah.
Him: U janganlah kacau-kacau, ni area office I tau
Me: Office? Mana office you? [pandang kiri kanan cari office??]

Then he pointed to the table. Apparently, there is a small area on the table lah which he claimed as his office. Wanna see? Imran’s office? Look below….

I was like..ooo ini ker ur office? Tapi I macam nk tergelak, sbb dalam banyak2 benda yg dia bawak pergi kerja setiap hari, tiba-tiba ada Ichiro punye diaper. Hihih.

Hehe…actually, all those stuff mmg he gathered it at one place so mcm senang pagi-pagi nk pergi kerja terus amik semua tu. He got a briefcase, but not sure why didn’t he just keep everything in the bag. Maybe benda2 ni mcm nk pakai selalu, so leceh nk keluar masuk bag kot? Entah…itu my teori lah. Never ask him.I can’t imagine kalau betul-betul ada lelaki bawak diaper anak letak kt meja office or dalam briefcase. Sweetness!! But to think again, sure ada rasanya kan? Especially guys yg run his own business and maybe once a while bawak anak pergi office sbb maid lari ker or maid mogok ker or nursery charge mahal sgt ker, satu minit pon nk berkira…u know lah ..things like that kan.. Confirm la bawak semua baby stuff pergi office. Hihi. Cute tho. It reminds me to Engku Emran dalam Gugu Gaga Erra.

Yg diaper tu pulak, sbb malam-malam normally Imran akan bangun dalam pukul 4-5 pagi to change diaper and Ichiro’s sleepwear, sbb dia kata nnt Ichiro boleh tido sedap and selesa sampai pukul 10 pagi [jadi mak dia pon leh tido sampai kol 10 pagi jugak...ehe]. He put it there  so easier for him to reach the diaper from the bed in the darkness.

Itulah serba sedikit bentuk rupa office Imran. My Usana stuff dah kene kick from the table..sejak awal-awal lagi. Sbb tu tk termasuk dalam gambar rajah di atas.

Neway, ni out of topic sket, but since I got quite many recent photos of Ichiro, I included herewith 2 photos of him with new toys and mommy. Oh last but not least…I nk shout kuat-kuat ni. TGIF!!!!! Enjoy ur weekend ya!

Toys baru. I lost count already how many toys yg similar to this yg kiterorg dah beli. This one we bought it from Mothercare. Rm30++ seketul? Mahal giler babeng. Ichiro dah sauk satu and tanak lepas, terus masuk mulut [macam shopping drive thru ok]. Terus bayar jer la jawabnyer.

We snap this photo at OU’s rain forest area. Ichiro had a good time watching and observing the fish. there Next time we should bring bread along. So Ichiro can feed fish. Maybe I can upload some photos of Ichiro tgk ikan during the weekend nnt. Kalau ada masa, insyallah

p/s: I think it’s about time for me to change my hijab style. Let see soon ok 

My hero yg muka penat…ehe

Whadda blast! These are few photos that I managed to capture during Ichiro first time ever enjoying water play activity with other kids and it’s even better as the other kids are actually his very own cousins! Yay for Ichiro

Niece Izzati, nephew ariq (middle) and syahmie (right)

Obviously, he’s the smallest one lah kan, but he seemed okay playing with kids older or bigger than him. My nephews and niece pon pandai nk avoid from stepping or swimming on top of Ichiro, therefore, we kinda relief. At least Ichiro wasn’t being brutalized or bullied. Hihi, wpun salah seorang adalah nampak seperti bouncer, tapi setelah posing “peace” hilang ciri-ciri brutal itu.

Several years back, when both of my nephews were still small babies, I bought a pool for them but we hardly used it due to space limitation which often killed the fun. Further more, we used to place the pool under zinc roof since that’s the only area available at that time and definitely we can’t see the sky, so not fun at all and don’t make me start with rumah basah, becak and all.

Spacious enough compare to last time..

But now things have changed, after my parent’s house renovation completed recently, we waste no time to get the kids play at the  open area near the balcony under the blue sky, plenty of space for them to get crazy with the water, splashing like no one business and yet keep my mom’s house intact. Tiada apa-apa kemalangan terjadi kepada pasu-pasu bunga dan almari-almari kaca. Kalau ada harus kami ramai-ramai lari balik KL dengan segera. Hihi.

Hence, on a lovely Sunday morning, the kids already shouting and screaming wanting for the kolam plastik. My brother help to fill up both pools with water and throw some balls into it. Ichiro was having so much fun and once a while he took a little sip of water! Haha. Adoi anak ku. Dia mcm duduk diam dalam air…tiba-tiba he bent down his head and tasted the water couple of times. Gulp! Ehe.

Picnic!

Other than that, my mom who make the best mee goreng in the world, suddenly came into the picture with a tray of happiness (makanan la apa lagi), we then enjoy the feast while continue watching the kids play. Ada buah sukun goreng, sambal kicap, mee goreng and air teh-o. Heaven on earth I tell you.

By the way, I think my camera is acting weird, somehow the settings went hay-wired, including the auto-mode setting (i think la). Kinda strange when I need to increase the ISO to the max for outdoor photos. I can understand the need to increase ISO for indoor photos but for outdoor?? and to the max some more? Urmm maybe sky was bit cloudy, but still…I tk puas hati. It used to be ok. I think I really need to sit down and look at the setting again or perhaps hantar kedai cek.

For now, enjoy the highest ISO pictures that my camera could snap. Haha. Pardon the noise and fuzzy. I’ve already tried my best to edit the photos so that it won’t look so bad. I hate ugly photos. Period.

Masa ni mcm terminum air sikit..hihi [ i tersiram muka dia..shhh don't tell Imran ok, he's gonna sembelih me nnt]

Ichiro has been showing interest towards water since born [he never cry and really fond of water] Recently he started to splash water and made me wet entirely during bathing time [he also loves playing with water tap and shower]. It’s like a third war recurrence whenever we done with bathe. He will scream to top of his lungs and struggling for more water to play! Actually sometimes he even tasted the water too. Gulp!

Mommy come join me, I spare some space for you mommy. No son, am too fat for your pool

Mummm mmmmm mummm mmmm [that's the sound his making in the picture, an indication of him having fun]

So, the other day we bought a cute colourful pool for him I was very excited to play on the next day but things didn’t really follow my plan as we don’t have a pump to inflate the pool and I swear I did try to blow it myself but it seemed that it was an impossible mission for me [possible utk org2 yg rajin dan bernafas panjang seperti ning baizura]

Debushhhhhhhh…splash splashhh

We wanted to buy the pump, but we were actually rushing for Date Night movie and thought we could figure it out later [which we didn't!] And I totally put the blame on my husband because we supposed to look for the pump on the next day, unfortunately hubster was too sleepy too bother and he spent the entire day on bed – sleeping. I was so pissed off! There goes my plan. He ruined it!

Hmm…mommy can I play with the fish as well? I don’t think grandpa would mind if I play with his pet.

Well, he was actually on night duty, night before and that’s explain why he was so sleepy. But..still he has been sleeping for almost 12 hours! I think I’ve been kind enough to wait for him, if only he try to wake up and take shower, am pretty sure he’ll be fresh again. Hahaha. I think I’ve been too carried away, therefore to cut things short, we finally managed to get the pool into its proper shape [with air of course!] after paying another trip to Toys R Us and bought the pump which could inflate and deflate. Here goes pictures of Ichiro having a blast time with water. At first I thought of editing some of the photos but ended up leaving it as it is because I love the colors of the pool so much! My son appear happier with pretty colours

Omigosh mommy, it’s so cold!

Hehe ni gambar lamaaaaa. Gambar bulan 1 masa friso event. Gigi pon tkder sgt lagi masa ni.

My son is going to be 10 months old next week. How time flies Until today, I’ve no regret quitting my day job and working for my son instead. Hehe. Usually when we’re jobless, we feel like slapping anyone who question us “kerja apa sekarang?”, “dah dapat kerja?”, ” try la jadi cikgu..” and bla bla bla. Like do they really care? [shrug..] It’s not that I underestimate profession as a teacher. Tapi cara diaorg cakap, mcm senang gilerrrrr nk apply jadi cikgu and as though the easiest way out is to be a teacher. Blarghhh. Tanggung jawab menjadi cikgu adalah besar, bukan boleh nk jadi cikgu sbb suka-suka, pegang amanah nk didik anak bangsa. U think that’s easy? I slap u.

I”ll definitely miss this moment, when he gets older nnt.

Being a WAHM is an exact definition of total freedom to me albeit it’s not easy. To mothers out there who also aiming to be a WAHM like me, I just wanna say, do it! Do your proper planning, insyallah everything will be ok.

Ok lah..sure nk tengok gambar kan? Entry tanpa gambar tk seronok bukannnn. Mari tengok gambar Ichiro panjat tangga. Seronok dia ada org nk layan main tangga. Hehe.

Menuju puncak! [bukan AF ok...]

I jarang update pasal milestone Ichiro. Sbb nyer I ni jenis malas nk expect for something. I suka benda tu terjadi secara takdir. Haha. Apakah ayat ini? Mcm Usana, I tk kira pon berapa ramai I enrol, berapa byk I buat sales, berapa lama nk achieve target, I just buat membuta tuli but sepenuh hati la. At the end bila dpt award bagai, rasa true bliss.

Oh my bum bum, looking delicious? Jaga-jaga ada hadiah berwarna kuning menanti di dalam…

So, it applied to Ichiro jugak. For me I rasa tk perlu utk compare or being to serious on achieving the target. Sbb, nnt I put too much pressure on myself and Ichiro. Let my son choose at what pace he wants to do things and learning. Of course , we have to monitor kalau terlalu delay dari jangkaan sebenar, tapi delay about 2-3 months should be ok kot I rasa. I don’t ask much, as long as my child is healthy, energetic and happy, I’ll be one happy mother, like I am now

How come I’m still not reaching top yet? Even the Everest not this high..err I know because I’ve experience climbing the Everest before or something that look similar to Everest , it’s mount on my mother’s chest. [haha, saper ada tetek setinggi everest? gilo]

Btw, these are few things that Ichiro capable to do now including his physical growth

1. Walking! Baru 2 steps.
2. Teeth! Lottts of ‘em. Haha. I think there are about 7 yg dah visible! Bulan lepas I mcm perasan ada 2 jer? Ker mata i kero? I think the latter.
3. Body gesture, waving hand [he actually putar his hand instead of the normal wave..putar mcm as though he saying " habis dahh", but itu wave la bagi dia]. Every time we say bye bye, he will putar his hand and say “bah bah” or “tah tah”. Cute eh?
4. He loves adult food! Baby food tk heran. Bubur daging , with chicken sup, choc moist cake, banana, apple, cheese, keropok ikan, aiscream, ikan steamboat…among his favourite. Kalau u sajer-sajer gi bancuh nestum and suap, boleh start tengok drama kanak-kanak kene dera. Hehe.
5. Dat day I showed picture of him climb into the walker kan? I tk dpt amik gambar lagi, tapi latest dia dah panjat keluar pulak. Kali ni, mcm acrobat sungguh. He will put one of his leg atas besi walker tu, then push himself out. Keep pushing sampai both legs dah naik atas, then support his body dgn tangan on the floor [mcm nk buat push up]. Dia akan buat in slow motion, firstly sbb he knows the walker is moving and another reason, he doesn’t want his mommy notice what he’s doing. Apa yg buat dia berusaha keras nk keluar dari walker? Because he wants to play with the vacuum cleaner, secretly, behind my back.
6. Dah boleh turun katil sendiri, ni dari bulan lepas dah boleh kot? Entah lah.
7. Dah boleh judge and estimate height. Contoh mcm dekat tangga, he will crawl very fast towards the stair, tapi will immediately stop once reach. Even though it’s good to know that he understand the danger, but we don’t really count on him yet. Sbb dia selalu berguling2 tk hingat dunia. Tahu-tahu dah duduk tepi2 katil or tepi2 tangga. Hehe.
8. Showing interest towards music and piano. Dat day I main piano with him on my lap, suddenly he fell asleep. I wish I had my camera masa tu.
9. Went to see paed last few weeks, the doctor told us that based on the child growth chart, Ichiro is tall and slim. Goshh..I really hope that he won’t be too skinny like his ayah dulu. Tinggi ok, but skinny…aahhh terrifying la.

Ahhhh dah sampai pit stop Rest sekejap.

Someone told me that somebody’s blog is rubbish. Even though there are blogs that I like and I dislike, but I never label any blog as rubbish, because I do respect people and it is solely up to the author or owner of the blog to write anything the way they want it. And I know my humble blog also ain’t that good. Thus, I dare not to talk bad about other’s blog.

BUT, I just had to agree with “someone” that “somebody’s” blog is really really really a rubbish. Not entirely, but most of its contents are garbage. Refrain from asking me which blog.

Cheeky boy!

I wanna write some update about Ichiro. My cheeky little boy, getting even cheekier as days go by. And I think I can live thousand of years just to see my son enjoying every moment of his life. His smile is sweeter than sweet and not to forget those cute little teeth especially gigi kapak ahhh are so adorable and sharp too. Hehe. He’s gonna be 10 months old this month and so far I could say that I love staying at home, observing his milestones every minute and seconds.

He hate walker so much. He will scream at top of his lung whenever I want to put him into the walker. But I know the trick now (he got lots of tricks!) how to make him cooperate. Since he loves to chase after our house cat dgn walker tu, so every time nk masuk walker i will pretend to shout as if I’m looking for the cat…

“where’s you meow sayang? meooowww…meowwww.meowwww (ok better stop, before I start to sound more like a real cat)

I hate this thing. But, I want to test my commando skill that I’d learn from my mommy every night. I think I can climb in and out easily…let see….

Ichiro will straight on the alert mode then, scanning entire area like a cyclops for the cat. And tadaaa…tetiba termasuk walker tanpa disedari. He will quick to scream again after that bila sedar sudah tertipu, but yeah too late la son. Mommy is already putting her triumph smile on her face, whether you like it or not!

As much as he hates the walker,he also secretly love it so much too. Seemed that whenever he got the chances, he will try to get into the walker himself. Strange. Luckily I manage to snap his pics performing some kind of acrobatic post while he was in his course trying to get into the walker unaided. Kinda funny sbb telah tersekat and tk berani nk menagis sbb takut dah buat salah. Instead tersengih2, as if he was saying mommy tk boleh marah sbb saya sangat comel.

Oh btw, Ichiro ada 3 walker. We bought 2 new walker, since we live like a nomad style. Kejap dekat PJ kejap dekat N9. So we bought 2. Senang. Then another 1 to belong to my sis punya anak masa dia baby dulu. We need extra walker, in case Ichiro poop and wee inside it.

Hmmm…how do I get in now? Start with my right leg perhaps? And you please don’t move ok. Hushh hushh. Be static. If not mommy will find out.

Alamak…tersekat sudahhhh..isk isk

Ehem. Hello mommy I’m actually stuck in here with one leg up. (in future I think I should start with my left leg and see whether it stuck like this or not…ahhhh tersepit…uhuk)

Mommy is taking my photo. I think I should just smile first and scream later.
