... and still counting?

*bluek!* he's still at it.

Sat - her nose
Sun - her right hand
Mon - her left hand
Tues - i prayed at work hoping nothing happened
Wed - ...so far, so good

that reminds me of Seoul far, Seoul good... hehehehe what about Korea next, Pa? kwang kwang kwang... nah, i wouldn't go Korea. At least not at this moment cos i had a bad experience with Korean neighbours when i was in Aust... and that least bit of liking them hasn't happen in me yet.

Nose Job!

Kids! They like to irritate the s#@! out of each other. But they'll make up in just about the next second. I felt real sorry for Nurul on this incident.

We were heading back from the school's Family Day in the car. Nurul reached out for my mineral water bottle and Riyan snatched to get a sip. Of course, Nurul wouldn't let him! And a 'Superbowl' game occured. Piled on top of each other like a sandwhich. Game over, he screamed, grabbed her face and bit the left side of her nose! And it became red, swollen and later purple.



I don't know whether i should cry or laugh... and a momma's gotta do what a momma gotta do! Whip out that belt around her waist and let it rip! NAHHHHH...! I wouldn't do that.

The momma-turned-counsellor cornered Riyan and before the first warning spewed out, he burst his well! And boy, does the river run deep, in this case, overflow! Tears ran down like if they were diamonds, i'd be rich!

Like always, i caved in...

My hopes

It's Total Defence Day and they get to play dress-up!

We're family!

Hanis' Family Day 8/3/08.

What's your skin colour?

Today's paper reports that the Africans who are here with the hopes of finding a job are treated unfairly by the locals here. All boil down to the skin colour. But can't blame the majority of locals who do that. They are not used to having people of a different skin colour, especially Africans, in their hometown. Thus develop this fear and wary - after all the talk and reports of the Nigerian scam- and not so much of being a racist.

When i used to live at my parents' i came across an African family who lived a couple of blocks away. I found the kids cute, with their tight curls and buck teeth. Their mum was an all-African woman - big. The shopkeepers around acknowledged their presence in the neigbourhood. Greeted them, played with their kids, like they did with other local kids.

Anyway, i need a new blog skin.

What's the story...

Nah... i'm neither short of photos. Nor am i short of time to upload them. My attention has been shifted a little. I'm browsing more on Japan. Yep beh-beh!!! We're going Japan!!! Finally. Yes, Kin, i'm finally going after asking you so much about it.

We're having a customised itinerary cos of the kids. Still, we'll be flying with SQ, Insya-Allah. Can't afford too long a Japan holiday cos Pa's only got 4 days of leave, in contrast to my 33 days. So we're settling with 7D and 5N.

Do drop me a mail if you think there are interesting places to go in Tokyo. Apart from Disneyland. As that has already been on our priority list.

ok, i'll update more often for my fans who drop by this site always.

Cheerio! Luv ya!!!

Lover, not a fighter

Nurul would not allow us to flick the ants off the kitchen counter, let alone spraying at the ant colony. Damn those ants! Lucky for them Nurul was around.

But of course, i wiped 'em clean when she was not looking. And i got an earful from her. "Why did you do that to the ants, mama...? the ants will cry; and they'll be soooo sad..."

ok, ok. i got the point.

What can i say..? She'll be a UNFCR volunteer someday...

New school year

Riyan's in playgroup at 2yrs 3 days old. Nurul starts her K1.






What they love best...

Miss you

Nurul was sick today so she didn't attend school.

Riyan was not used to going to school without his sister. He kept turning to look at the back passenger seat thinking Nurul was there.

And at the school entrance, the teacher pointed out that Riyan had Nurul's name tag on, instead of his. It was damn hilarious!! Well, it sounded lame but to me I'd like to think that he missed his sister so much part of her has to be with him.

Riyan's TWO!!!

We decided to celeberate Riyan's second birthday at the jetty - fishing! Rained twice when we were there but thanks to our all-new-tent, we were as dry as... err... cotton??

Faris and gang joined us halfway. We really had loads of fun camping out in the rain!! And yes, Cik Adi caught the todak again.
