In Bangkok

Currently in Bangkok for business. Sigh!~ Been here since wednesday. Huhu.. missing sarah so much!!

So far things are great. The Minister had gone back and now there're only the visits and exhibition booths left to be taken care of. Can't wait to go back on monday. Apa la diorg ni buat exhibition lama sangat.. isk... 2-3 hari cukup la.. ni sampai 5 hari.. tapi promo nye ciput. Tapape tah.

Malam ni baru la dapat nak jalan2 sket. Sebelum ni sibuk je, tak sempat nak tengok bangkok ni. Oh..one thing for sure though.. the traffic jam is a lot worse than KL.. nasib baikla tak kena drive.

Okla.. off now. Just dropping a post while doing some work in the business centre. *Jalan2 naik tut-tut*

Busy Me

Finally, i think i'm at work actually working. Lols. Lama tak update coz i'd been quite busy lately. Seriously, in this new division, i'm finally feeling like i'm actually working. Ni baru la macam dapat rehat sket. Kejap je, sementara nak tunggu meeting in abt an hours time.

Anyways. Last friday, hubby and myself visited this newly operated nursery, somewhere close to my office. So, last monday was the first day we sent her there. The nursery is quite alright i think, the care takers are friendly and so far (fourth day today), i'm happy and i think sarah's enjoying her new school as well. Babies tak ramai pun... 5 babies currently.

Sigh!~ Sebenarnya, mmg berat hati nak kasik sarah masuk nursery, Bukan apa, nak tinggal anak dgn org yg kita tak kenal kan... bukan senang. Taktau diorg jaga mcm mana.. (tapi kira ok la nursery ni.. diorg mengharamkan penggunaan buai. :D ) Tapi,kalau nak kasik mama or mak jaga je all the time, tak kena jugak. They are getting older. Dah pencen2 mestila nak berehat. Rasa mcm menyusahkan je. Once in a while tinggal sarah ngn depa ok la kot, sementara mommy n daddy gi dating.. Heheh..

Urghhh... Less than 2 weeks before i've to leave sarah for bangkok. Demmit!! Taknak pergi laaaaaaa.. iskkk... bos ni..pegi je la sorang... Takyah la angkut iiii..... uwaaaa....dahla lama... Kalau 2 hari je takpe la jugak.. ni nak dekat seminggu... Huhuhuuuuu.....

Ngomel Pagi

Ahh.. just got into the office and felt like posting straight away. Hehe.. ada la issue nih..Oh.. hari ni logged into the net w/o proxy... lagi lajus rupanya. :D

Anyways.. as i was driving to work today, i noticed that my cuz A was driving beside me.. laju je. Well.. new car, honda jazz pulak kan.. laju je la.. Anyways, i thought i saw the glimpse of her eyes looking at me la from the rear view mirror. And then we arrived at this traffic light. I purposely stopped beside her car la, hoping that she'll look and we could change waves or something (because she's been distancing herself from the rest of the family since she got married) but she didn't even look! I looked at her several times.. and usually, you'd notice ppl looking at you kan, and you'll look back.. apa lagi kalau mmg dah kenal kereta tu. But she didn't. I dunno la if mmg dia tak notice or what.. but i feel it was weird la. I mean what has she got against me?

We used to be so close, the 3 of us, A, Z and myself. We even got married around the same time. Tapi since she got married, she's like always distancing herself from our family gatherings and it's more pronounced now. This year, she's hardly ever attended any of our family gathering - she didn't come and pay me a visit when i was in confinement (in sepang which was only like 5 mins drive from her place. her mom dropped by quite a few times, she lives withher mom and didn't even once paid a visit. Tanya kabar lagi la tak), she didn't come for sarah's cukur jambul, she didn't make it for abg jali's housewarming, nor the gath meeting at pak uteh's. She's always not around. I dunno.. perhaps she feels embarassed of her own family..i dunno. but y should she? If it's not because of family.. she won't even be around! If she feels insecure, if she feels like everyone is doing better.. well she's also doing well herself.. dah beli kereta sendiri.. imported car pulak tu, now tgh beli rumah sendiri.. kalau nak compare with me, i don't have any assets under my name for God's sakes. There's nothing she should be insecure about.

Kalau in laws punya side pulak, waahh.. tak pernah miss. It's like c'mon la. orag lain pun ada in laws ok.. but split equally la between in laws and own family. Both are family anyway.

Sigh!~ entahla. I guess i'll have to talk to her to find out.. but unless she attends family meetings... that's unlikely to happen la. Tak tau la.

Updates on my little princess

Wow.. sarah's already 4 months now. Last mth, on the 2oth, just 2 days before her fourth month bday, she turned on her tummy!!! Am i a proud mama. It happened at night. and during the day her grandparents sent her to the house after babysitting her the whole day. When we're just hanging out in front of the telly, she made attempts to turn, but always only half her body was turned. So her tok bapak said "she's probably waiting for her 4th mth bday to be able to turn." Sekali, malam tu when were still lepaking in front of the telly waiting for daddy to get home from ground school, she turned!! And later she turned again, and again, and again!!! Cute je. Bila penat on tummy, complaint. Heheh..

Now she can turn more easily than before. She starts to make more sounds, especially when feeding. She can also make more then just cooing sounds sometimes (which surprised us) like maaaa.. and naanaaa... and even daaaa... Hehe...

Sigh!~ miss my chubby wubby.

End of this mth, probably kena pergi bangkok for 6 days. Initially dah try nak suruh org lain pergi.. but then we're so understaffed.. so kena la pegi jugak. Nak bawak sarah and daddy, daddy takleh pulak.. belum habis line test. Sigh!~ Lagipun daddy tak kasik sarah naik airplane before she's 1 y.o sbb takut telinga dia sakit sbb tak reti lagi nak equalize. Huhu... sedeynya.. Camne nih.. tak pernah lagi tdo without sarah.. sarah pun tak pernah tak tidur ngn mommy. :(

Grrr...

It's so nerve wrecking when people keep pushing you their idea when you've told them clearly you don't agree to it. Geram tau.

On the 24th last mth, almaz had a bday.. and we went there. They served ice cream.. well.. kids party kan.. and my MIL, FIL and BIL sibuk nak let sarah have a taste of ice cream. I said no.. firm but with a smile la kan.. they are family and i respect that, taknak la rude. They should so respect my decision la.. It is my daughter.

I want sarah to have a good start to healthy eating. Starting off with ice cream won't help with that. Lagipun, ice cream ni, tak payah ajar pun, budak makan jugak. When she gets older, yes she can have some ice cream.. but not now. I want her to savour the healthier meals.. no sugar, no salt. I don't want to sabotage her taste buds so early. lagipun, what's so great about ice cream (other than how good it tastes) that cannot wait??? It's laden with sugar, high in fat, not to mention the additives, colorings, preservatives. Yes, sarah's tummy might not be as sensitive as it was when she was a newborn, but that doesn't mean that we can just sumbat her with everything.

Last weekend, we had lunch at Putrajaya lake Club, again, MIL tried to push the idea of giving a taste of ice cream to sarah. And repeatedly i said no.. dia nak argue pulak, kata ice cream tu bukannya solid food pun.. lagipun it's easily digested.. That's not the question ok..

I know.. it's fun to see sarah's expression upon trying something new.. But sorry.. this is my daughter, not some experimental guinea pig.

Geram tau.. orang ckp tak nak dah la.. drop it. It upsets me so much. What does it take to make them understand?? Do i need to be sharp tounged to be heard?? If i say no, i mean it. Which part of that don't they understand? Bottom line is, i want sarah to start solids with bland foods, nothing sweetened or salted in the hopes tht she won't develop a sweet tooth or 'kuat masin'.. at least not so early, and i really feel that people should respect that. They've done their part with their own children.. Let me dictate how i wanna do things with mine.

*Grr.. still geram thinking of it**
