Ai-lep-yu, Mama

1. Please

2. Thank u

3. I love u

Those are the 3 little words/phrases that have a huge impact on other people's life.
I have been teaching Adam to say those words.

I started demanding for the word "Please..." from him when he asked for bonbon or candies. After several attempts, he uttered it clearly..."Mama..piiiiiis"


And boy, I was so glad!!! Tak kira la peas or...peace or piss... I know what he means!

Then, I demanded that he says "Thank u" when I gave him toys and whatnot. I was turned down in the beginning, but after a few times...he put a smile on my face with his gibberish "Tengkiu, mama."

There's an exception though, when I gave him the bonbon. Mulut dah penuh, camna nak cakap kan? :P


Last but not least, recently I wanted him to say "I love u" to me. Again, just like before...he was reluctant to articulate the words.
But now, he could say it loud and clear... "Ai-lep-yu, Mama" when I hand him his Ultraman.


Oh, he sure knows how to melt my heart! And for that, he's always showered with hugs and kisses from me.

However, MrHubby never got any of those magic words from Cikebum. Hahaha.

Not only that. Cikebum has also develop a passion on scribbling with the pen. The problem is he doesn't scribble/draw by himself, instead he pulls my hand to draw Ultraman & monster/dinosaur for him.

And bcoz there are times when I am lazy to entertain him...this was what I got last week...

"Aaaadaaaaammmmmm.... heiiii...nak kena nih!!!"

Maka comot la beg Alicewonders yang Mama dapat hadiah aritu. Huhu...

Isabelle turns Isabelly!

Once upon a time...
Venue: Rent house

Me : Hoh? I now have a spare tyre!
Along : Sudah la kau, dik... U don't even have a stomach!
Me : Really. U see... I have extra flesh here on my tummy.
K.Ya : Like this haa...(pinching her own tummy)...baru la kira buncit!

....and those were the days...

Today...

When I sit, I can pinch my belly...
Hmmm... the donuts I've been eating all this while has ended up around my waist eventually.

This pic...

when closed-up...

...seems pretty much like my belly (minus the sugar). Hahaha. Boleh la buat belly dance kat MrHubby when he's back from the one-week course :P

But that also means...There goes my 'donut galore days'. Huwaaa... :(

The best part is...people still say that I'm slim. Thank goodness for the height!

Why do u make-up?

Make ups are cosmetics applied to the face to improve or change your appearance. We powder the face to avoid a shiny look and set the finish after applying foundation. Concealers are used to hide spots or dark circles under the eyes and we apply lipstick/lipgloss to cover the paleness of our lips.


As I was putting on my usual routine of covering my weaknesses yesterday, MrHubby asked me, "Dear, why do ladies put on make-ups?"

My genuine answer was quite similar to the above.

And he continued...What if someone esp.of the opposite gender tells the lady that her make-up is not beautifying her, instead...it makes her look terrible?

Ahaaa...
That's a good question.

Okay...let's ask ourselves. Why do we apply those cosmetics onto our face?
Some might say - to make them look good, to tackle the heart of someone in their offices, to boost their confidence, yada...yada...

Well, whatever the reasons might be, we must reset the intention (niat) once in a while. It is known that Muslim women are not supposed to display their beauty to ajnabi men.

All ladies deserve to be appreciated, respected, and admired. At work, an improved appearance, one would gain attention and respect bcoz of the confidence. But somehow, sometimes...we forgot our initial niat. Pahala tak dapat, dosa dok bertimbun...

Well, u know... some fully-insured mouth say...

"Ish..bini sapa tu? Buruk sungguh! How could the husband stand looking at her everyday like that?"

"That lady with the oily face-is she a lecturer? Why does she look like a contractor?

"Orang lain pun ada anak jugak, tapi takde la selekeh macam tu..."


Not that I'm saying that I am really concern of what people say. This is bcoz I am lucky to have a concern husband who'd be my mirror everyday.

He's the one who'd tell me if my make up is too much (siap tolong tenyehkan blusher lagi), or he'd tell me if the colour combination is not right. MrHubby would also comment if my blouse is too sexy or the skirt I wear couldn't hide the panty line.

Once in a while, he'd remind me of the intention so that it is not diverted.

Back to MrHubby's question-(assuming my readers are the I-cant-live-without-makeup type)- What if someone esp.of the opposite gender tells u that your make-up makes u look terrible?

I'd say..it's gonna be like a slap on my face. Hahaha. Anyway, beauty is subjective. Yes, it lies in the eyes of the beholder. Tapi orang bodoh je akan mengamuk dan beria-ia menegakkan yang apa yang dia pakai tu cantik (alasan:orang lain tak cakap pun buruk!) Hello, orang lain tu maybe tak sampai hati nak bagitau, knowing ur attitude yang xboleh ditegur!

And of course, whilst we try to look our best with the make ups, it is also important to make sure that it is not tabarruj... (berhias berlebih-lebihan).

Married ladies- well, u know why...

Single ladies- don't u keep the intention to pancing/cari calon with the make up! Sungguh keji niat itu.

Scam? How do u deal with it?

My mind is not peaceful right now, bcoz of a swindling diddle.
How do u deal with these scams, ay?


I have tried to be nice to them, allowing sufficient time, but apparently it didn't help much. (Hati mesti busuk, baru boleh puas kot?!)


Hey, I gtg now... am off to a site, for sampling. Hahaha. Yes, I am serious now (see, I am not grinning as usual).

While the end of year is approaching, I think I have had enough momentum by now. Next year, I'm gonna rock the world...eh, poyo x agak-agak. Errr....I mean, I will be very productive next year.

Please remind me if I were too occupied with blogging next year. Hahaha (as if...)

Hinting for presents

My ticker today shows that there's 17days left to our 3rd anniversary. I have been thinking of what to buy for MrHubby.

Since he has been talking about his new interest in bowling, plus the tournaments he'll be joining this coming weekend, I decided to buy him this set...

Bowling ball, shoes & bag

Yesterday, we went to OU and Alam Sentral looking for it...and we ended up buying at this shop...

Cikebum was also bz rolling the balls over & 'tidying up' the shop.

MrHubby with his anniversary present.

MrHubby: Thank u, Centa.

Me: A'ah. Huwaaa...there goes the swipe for this month :P

MrHubby: I surely will win in the tournament this weekend.

Me: But the team always lose if I support it. It's a taboo.

MrHubby: Alaaa..which one is more important? Winning the game or getting support from my dear wife?

Me: Iye lah tu...

MrHubby: Okaylah...in return, I'll buy u a mixer. Hehehe.

Me: (*pretending to mumble) Huh? How much is a mixer? Still cheaper than the present I bought.

MrHubby: Okaylah...then, I'll buy u an epilator.

Me: (*pretending to mumble again) Huh? Epilator is also not that expensive.
Err...Ayah, do u want me to bake u cakes?

MrHubby: Of course, I do.

Me: And u wouldn't want to find (armpit) hair in the cakes I bake, wouldn't u?

MrHubby: (*knowing my trick) Huh? In that case, we can just buy the cakes from bakeries la.

Me: (Alamak! Taktik x menjadi!!!) Err... finding other people's hair in a cake rather than your wife's must be creepier kan? Kan?

MrHubby: Iye lah, Mama...notty ni!!!

:P

The fact is...Whenever I wish to get a present from him, I'd pretend mumbling or mengigau-ngigau using that thing.

e.g :
Out of the blue, I close my eyes and pretend holding the car steering and make the 'tin-tin' sound (konon nak mintak keta le nih).

When the topic about the upcoming birthday/anniversary/Valentines is discussed, I suddenly pretended blowing my hair with the 'voo...vooo' sound coming out from my mouth (kes nak mintak hair dryer once ago). Hahaha.
