Not long now.

Congratulations A & F on your engagement yesterday!

Nan, I will upload the pics on fb soon, kay! Hehehe. Here’s a preview. LOL. Actually, not so much a preview.

In my last post, there was a picture of the dowry book I made for A. However, the village elders suggested that it was better for the book to remain open and sort of standing, ’supaya diurang inda terkia-kial membuka’. With only few days to the day, we thought of using the frame stand thing until I found some styrofoam I’ve been hoarding! Hehe.

So, Nan, this is how it looked like after the alteration.

But it was definitely prettier on the actual day when Ellez decorated the gangsa! There were even pearls on it! Will post up the pics on fb nanti. Hehe.

On a different note, here’s AH over the weekend. All happy when we took him out of his stroller and let him walk around a bit at the Mall. Hee-hee.

I know I haven’t been writing proper posts and replying the comments. Insya Allah, will do that soon. I’ve been pretty busy and am now spending whatever time I have at home, entertaining AH and reading.

Have good week everyone! Not very long now till we welcome 2009. What is your resolution? Hehe.

Small Steps for AH

…giant leap for excited mummy!

My not-so little boy has taken more than just a few steps! On Saturday night, he was holding a balloon and I suppose he must’ve thought he was holding on to someone’s hand! Since then, he is unstoppable! When he fell, he would stand up and continued walking! Aaah. he is growing up too fast!

I suppose I can say AH is taking after me (mau jua! LOL.) since he is only walking after turning 1. Hehe. Apparently I didn’t start walking until I was 1 plus whilst the husband started walking when he was 11 months old. No wonder he always say that I walk too slow. Guess now I have AH with me! Hee-hee! Until he starts running, I suppose! Eeeeks!

AH now knows where he wants to go and will drag anyone with him. He knows the way to his uncles and aunts’ room as well as his grandparents’ room.

The photo above was taken yesterday when he was playing outside in the afternoon. He must’ve had fun because he only woke up once last night, looking for us and crawled out of his cot by himself.

Ooh. Over the weekend I have been busy making a dowry book for one of my girlfriends, who are getting engaged pretty soon. It is my first commissioned job and I am glad she likes it (although not the village elders but more on the content than the actually book, I think). And apparently, I am going to do another one for another girlfriend’s engagement in January! Jadikah Ellez? Hehehehehehe.

Anyhoos, Have a Good Week Y’all!!

p.s. Congratulations Len & Hil on your wedding yesterday. You both looked gorgeous!! (I didnt bring my digicam but I’m sure it will be uploaded on fb and I will need to get a copy of my mum’s digicam too. Hee-hee!)

And oh, the husband has uploaded some photos from his recent holiday (and my work trip. hahaha.). I’m too lazy to process my photos and upload them on fb for now.

Quick Update

December 4, 2008 at 8:05 pm | In breastfeeding, travelling | 2 Comments

I have opted to stay in tonight as the coordinator has asked me to prepare a little ’statement’ for tomorrow’s session.

The husband is kind enough to get some dinner and we shall eat at the balcony watching the Apsara Dance!

I am looking forward to dinner as I have been seriously deprived of good (and halal food!) that my supply has seriously detoriated I am trying to be positive and hopefully, I will get my supply back up when I’m in Brunei (glorious food, Alhamdullilah!)

Few more days before I get to see my little one, insya Allah. Tomorrow we will be visiting few historical places but unfortunately, they are not taking us to see the Jungle Temple (too lazy to look up the Khmer name for it. Har har har.).

G’nite all!

p.s. AH, mummy misses youuuuuuuu!!!

Ah refused to sleep early last night and insisted on helping me pack (ish. haha. )

After realising I was not packing any of his stuff, he thought that he didn’t really have to help.

He got out of the suitcase and played before falling asleep on his playmat/ day mattress.

Missing you little one! Will see you next week, insya Allah. *kisses*

We are here right now.

We went here earlier in the evening and I almost threw up and fainted from the not just the massive crowd but also the HUGE selection of IT-related stuff. Almost got sucked into buying an MP4 player, supposedly for AH to watch his Thomas & Friends but really its for me to catch up on m tv shows. Hee-hee.

I was also tempted to test the 450D but the crowd at the Canon booth was horrible with queues at least 300m (or even more? I couldn’t really tell because there were queues at every booth!) long. We then went to the next expo hall for a Mega Expo Sale. Bought a Snow Bear food and bottle warmer, which looked exactly like MC’s POD Bottle Warmer but at about 30% of their price. Now I have to think on how to bring it with me tomorrow. Erk!

I shall rest now as we are heading here tomorrow.
