Need vs Want

I have a Medela Pump-in-Style Advanced.

The latest model is Medela Freestyle.

I want it. But I don't need it because what I have is just as good. But hoo-boy, do I want it! (org upgrade phone, kita nak upgrade pump)

And I saw this beee-yoooo-tiful Salvatore Ferragamo bag.

The tag is RM4150.

Darn.

Shoes

I have more shoes at the office than at home.

crocs - for the commute to and from the office
comfy black shoes - for when I'm in the office
not so comfy heels - wear it to meetings with corporate people, external parties or upper management
ugly slippers - for bathroom visits
thin hotel slippers - for when I don't feel like wearing shoes

Just thought you wanted to know...

Bottle refusal drama and misc entries

It's drama drama drama at maktok's house during the day because of 'Aatikah's bottle refusal. She would scream till her face goes red and looks all swollen. And after she calms down, she would scream again if anyone tries to even put the bottle teat at her mouth. So makcik feeds her with a syringe.

But last week on Friday maktok and makcik had a brilliant idea of trying to feed her with Sa'eed's old bottle and seasoned teats. And it worked! She accepted it like a champ. But the weird thing was that since then, Sa'eed refuses to drink milk from his bottle. He would take the bottle, take a swig and give it back. But if it were via glass or cup, he'd be fine. So I dunno, is he just 'growing up' or is it sibling connection? Sa'eed giving way for 'Aatikah to drink from the bottle...

I think it's kinda cute.

As for how is it handling two under two?

Overwhelming at times. Tired at times. Especially when I have to cook or do other chores and at the same time one needs nursing and the other needs butt cleaning. Hubby helps with the butt cleaning and I appreciate that. But of course ada je benda nak kena buat around the house. If you ask me now, how many kids do I want? I'd say two is enough in a heartbeat. But of course once the little girl is not so dependant on me, I'd be wanting to add 5 more...hahaha

And btw, I need to attend some cooking classes during the weekends (masakan melayu, western etc). Know of any places near TTDI/Damansara area? Thanks.

On a mission!

Internet connection is kinda lousy. So I won't get the chance to update this blog as often as I would like. Plus, work gets in the way sometimes..hehe. Anyways, this is dedicated to Gib, who likes to 'tunjuk gigi' (show his teeth). Of course, the conversation is imaginary.

Me: Ok Sa'eed...can you do something for Ummi?
Sa'eed: What is it?
Me: Jom ajuk Gib!
Sa'eed: OK!

Me: One, Two, Three...tunjuk gigi!
Sa'eed: *Griiiiiinnnnn*


Me: Tak cukup tu...tunjuk gigi lagi!
Sa'eed: Hokay! *GRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNN*


Me: Good job...tunjuk la lagi.
Sa'eed: Penat lah. My muscles need a rest. Ask lah 'Aatikah to do it


Me: 'Aatikah...u up for it?
'Aatikah: No prob, Ummi!


Me: One, Two, Three...tunjuk gigi!
'Aatikah: *grrriiiinnnn*

'Aatikah: Ala Ummi, takde gigi laa....

Sa’eed the Chef

Step 1: Find any container

Step 2: Go to Ummi, pretend to be hungry for a snack so that Ummi gives a biscuit or bread to eat

Step 3: While no one is watching, look for various pieces of garlic and onions in the kitchen

Step 4: Get a pencil

Step 5: Proceed to mix biscuit and onions in the container by using the pencil

Step 6: Overturn the container to see what the mixture looks like on the carpet

Step 7: For added effect, drip some water

Step 8: Hear Ummi shriek

Harro harro

It has been a long time since I've updated this blog. No internet connection at home lorr. But anyways, I'm back at work already...hu hu hu

The little girl is refusing to drink out of the bottle. Sengsara nanny dan nyang dia. They're feeding her via syringe now. Hopefully she'll accept the bottle at some point. Kesian dok nangis nangis. Sa'eed on the other hand is being amazingly well bahaved while I'm away. He's eating on his own and sleeps on his own. But of course still ransacking the house.

Comparing both babies, so far it seems that 'Aatikah is more demanding. According to a friend of mine, she thinks girls are more emotional and needs more 'belaian'. Boys can be thrown around (not literally ye) and they'll be fine. And on the TV yesterday Dr Fadzilah Kamsah said that 'anak perempuan senang di didik, susah dijaga tapi anak lelaki senang dijaga tapi susah di didik'. Allahua'lam, each child is different...we'll see.

Adehh Sa'eed

Tried to teach him numbers today. Started with one, two, three by using my fingers. He got 'one' right away, but 'two' susah sikit since he couldn't manipulate his pudgy fingers to do the peace sign (two la tu)

The I proceeded to show him..Sa'eed you have two hands. Sa'eed, you have one nose.

Ploop...masukkan jari dalam lubang hidung....*adehh*

Ok la, nevermind. Then I asked him...Sa'eed, one macam mana? He pointed with one finger to the sky (smart boy). But then he got smarter and used both hands. Bila both hands dah point to the sky, apa lagi, jadi pop yeh yeh la...and he started to prance around. *adehh*
