Bake a Cake

Finally! Dapat jugak anak mama masak kek kann... it has been months you minta dengan mama to bake a cake. Because of your full schedule during school terms.. we had to wait until school holiday lah kan. Hope you had fun ;-)

Your Passion in June 2011

This is what's keeping you pestering me to go to Jusco. EVERYDAY.

The Kitchen

It has drawers that functions like real drawers, microwave oven that you could put your food in it, kitchen sink, pans and pots and laddle and chopping board and knife and.. windows, and a table for two.

The Supermarket

Where the chefs could get their supplies of raw food to cook. The cash register works like real ones too

The Groceries

The selection of vegetables, fruits, onions and fish that the chef could cut each one in half

Tea, anyone?

What's cooking?

Through the window

Busy chef at work. You could hear her cutting all the food bought from the supermarket next door on her chopping board, before throwing them in the pan

My Gorgeous Little Chef

But seriously, I would pester my mama too... if I were you ;-)

Sempurna

Kau begitu sempurna,
Di mata ku kau begitu indah,
Kau membuatku kan selalu memujamu,

Di setiap langkahku,
Ku kan selalu memikirkan dirimu,
Tak dapatku bayangkan hidupku tanpa cintamu

Janganlah kau tinggalkan diriku
Takkan mampu menghadapi semua
Hanya bersamamu ku akan bisa

Kau adalah darahku,
Kau adalah jantungku,
Kau adalah hidupku, lengkapi diriku,
Oh Sayangku kau begitu...

Sempurna.

Brave Little You

I just want to remind you of how brave you have been. You were not afraid of animals, though sometimes small insects freaks you out. I have been wondering why you could just grab a snake by its neck (or body.. well I can not be sure which is which because it looks quite the same to me.. haha), or how you wont ever hesitate to go chase a monkey, or touch a dear, or even a tiger and a lion... needless to say about birds or cats or baby turtles, but you could cry you heart out if you ever see small spider (or spee-ai-der like Megamind says it) or a lizard. Not that iguana or chameleon would upset you. Its just.. maybe its their size that hinders you from seeing and understanding what they are really like - that makes them somehow 'mysterious' to you.

Mr Megamind. His head is big for reasons. Hope you'd remember this super cool guy ;-)

Yep. Maybe that's it! You don't like mysteries. You dont eat something if i dont explain or describe to you how it would taste in your mouth. You always afraid of the dark, until i remind you that a dark room is exactly the same room, without light. You need to be reminded of nothing should scare or worry you, because you are a good girl and a good girl will always be under the protection of Allah the Almighty.

So whenever you feel unsure about something, find out more about it. Sounds easy, right? But why these worries keep on coming to us? Well, it came from our own protective instinct- the same of the fear that we feel. Fear is something Allah created for us, as a form of defense mechanism. Fear for something prevents us from doing, or NOT doing something that could lead us right to what we fear of. Fear is good. But only with the right amount. It should NEVER be too much till it destroy your potential of becoming someone.

This entry, hopefully could remind you of some of your good qualities, if ever you got stuck in something, and feeling unsure about yourself. You have always got good qualities in you. What i wrote in here today, is just a super~dee~duper tiny fraction of them.

I love you darling. For ever and ever and ever.

Once Upon A Time When You Were 4...

~ When you were three~



~ when you were 5 ~

We were chatting about animals when suddenly you said 'kambu' pointing out to a group of cows... So..

Mama: Kambu??? (with a puzzled expression on my face, hoping you would notice your own slip of tounge)
Aliya: Mama, kambu tu, cow la nama dia. (hmmm.. looks like you're trying to 'cover' it...)
Mama: (sambil tahan gelak) lembu. Bukan kambu.
Aliya: So kambu tu apa?
Mama: kambu tu ............. Salah je.
Aliya: tapi kambing???? (Siap dgn muka x Puas hati mama kata you Salah)!

Apakah perkaitan?? KAM???

Aktiviti semalam

Terima kasih, abah... sebab abah mama dapat rasa berteman baru. Tak sabar2 mama nak test pakai, dan belajar macammana nak guna. Jadi, apa lagi... sebaik sahaja abah keluar dari pintu rumah, mama pun terus la mencuba. Dan siapakah menjadi mangsa? Peti sejuk..... tv.... pasu bunga... living set.... dan tidak syak lagi, tuan puteri yang masih beradu.....

Sempat jugak mama ambik gambar dinding bilik Aliya yang meriah ni.

Bila aliya dah bangun, mama pun ajak la aliya siap2. Kita gi makan kat jusco, lah. Barang dapur tak ada ni. Lagipun nak kena ambik baju abah kat dry clean, and kena return dvd yg kita sewa kat VideoEzy. Dah lewat sehari dah pun. Sambil2 tu... boleh la mama mencuba menggunakan teman baru mama ni. (Senyum lebar mama.... bahagia sungguh rasa. Thanks to you, hubby..... again!)

Dan ini lah antara hasil2 nya. Mama tak larat nak upload semua... (amik masa yang lama gak nak upload yang mana ada ni )

Untung, mama... Aliya sangat sporting hari ni. Bergaya2 sungguh bila tengok mama nak amik gambar Aliya.

So thank you, darling. For being a wonderful companion to me all these while. Lebih2 lagi semalam, bila mama sangat2 memerlukan model comel untuk belajar.

MUUAHSS!

The silly face that gives me strength

It has been a very weak week for me. I have been down with fever, and very low motivation for work. Everything seems so uninteresting. The gloomy sky, the regular boring day routines, the reading...

But then there's you. You never fail to make a difference. I mean look at you. You could make things that are so simple, that could have been meaningless if done by others (like when you self-captured your silly-pic above when i wasnt aware of it at all) into something so precious.

Thank you, darling. You can't imagine how much wonder you've brought in my life. Maybe you could never know how much i am thanking you now, nor how did that silly picture of you have helped me today. But I am praying that one day, one person could make you feel the same way.

a quick note

Comel anak mama. Mama suka sgtt tgk gamba ni. It became my hp's wall paper in case you dont remember...

I love you, baby.

What did you do on my Birthday

Da lama mama tak update blog untuk Aliya ni...

Last week mama sibuk dgn presentation PhD... This week pulak mama sibuk dengan.... urm... ape... yek... kemalasan untuk buat apa2 pun!

Mama rasa malas nak basuh pinggan.. basuh baju... kemas rumah.. tapi mama buat jugak sbb mata tak tahan pulak tgk semak2..

Tapi tu je la mama mampu buat... Thinking job.. creative job... 'very2 the' takde mood..

But anyway, mama rasa mama kena rekodkan jugak apa yg telah berlaku minggu lepas... minggu bday mama.. di mana abah telah membawa kita dinner di Restoran Melayu. Best tempat tu.. atas 2 perkara:
1. Makanan dia mmg sedap2..!
2. Ada traditional dance show!

Makanya ramailah tourist dan full house la tempat tu.. The performers were all good! pandai ambil hati audience. You lebih2 lagi la suka.. siap kat meja makan pun boleh joget sama..

Yang best sekali... the part when you actually danced on stage with them.. Alla... tak boleh la nak upload video.. boring tul
Nanti aliya tgk kat picasa ye.. dlm tag bday mama (31st) :)

KLCC With Mama

"Today is Monday" you said, very proudly when i said...

"today...." :-D

Hari ni ada gangguan bekalan elektrik di rumah kita. Due to a scheduled maintenance activity by TNB. So... i didnt want us to waste time staying indoor the hot weather without any aided ventilation, and i asked your dad where should we spend our 6 hours. He said... tgk wayang lah. KLCC. Ada show "cloudy with a chance of meatball". And so, we went. Park my car at the Setiawangsa LRT station, then got on the LRT train to KLCC. EZPZ. And if you remember.. the show.. woaaa...

Best giler! 

We just watch Aliens in the Attic and G-Force. This one is definitely so much better compared to them! G-Force pun kita tgk wayang jugak.... KLCC jugak. Without abah jugak sbb he went for Golf.

Ni gaya perasaan seronok sangat la ni... da lama tak naik LRT!

Then after the show, we went to Kino's bookshop. Spent about half and hour there, then moved to Petrosains Shop. Beli la Glow in the Dark stars and moon.... and a paint+mould tool set. Tak sedar.. tgk2 dah pun pukul 4.30pm. We were there since 1.30pm. Padan le penat semacam.

As soon as we got in the car, you lowered the seat and lie to sleep. Sleep terus sampai rumah. Mama tak sampai hati nak kejut so dukung le sampai atas. Perghhh... sampai tingkat 3 rasa macam nak pengsan pun ada. Nak pecah jantung angkat budak 20kg ni. Tapi.. bila da letak2 selesa2.. pakaikan pampers bagai... and tenung muka... hmm.. everything's worth it.

making-it-all-worthwhile-face

:-D

Jom!

" First, pegi school... 2nd, balik umah, mandi and makan nasi chicken and soup, 3rd, nak tgk mama main game mama; yang kuku tajam or yang owang tu jatuh and kat hand dia ada dawah...and then... nak pegi Gold Coast la Fatin wasa... "

wah wah wah... tekejut mama.. :D

"Gold Coast tu bukan boleh pegi hari ni sayang.. Its not like going to Jusco"

"Ala... nape?????"

hihihihi... ni abah la ni punye pasal... Aliya pantang nampak beach... memang sangat suka. Abah yang tunjuk advertisement MAS kot... dalam paper one day. Ingat sampai seminggu! Hari2 mintak ngan mama nak gi Gold Coast.

Amin... sayang.. InsyaAllah. Kalau ada rezeki kita, nanti kita pegi. Abah da bagi green light da tuh ;-)

gambar hiasan aje nih.. :D

Aliya Puasa tak?

You noticed that abah and I haven't been eating during the day lately. Sometimes you offered me some of your favorite drinks when you poured yourself some, only to be refused for the reason that I was fasting. I didn't know how much i could make you understand about fasting, despite all the explanation i gave you. You didn't respond much when it comes to this topic because... well maybe you didn't know how to. And maybe when you did ask me some questions to make you understand better, it was I who didn't know how to respond. This one has touched my heart;

Mama: Its okay Aliya... Mama tak boleh minum lagi, sbb mama puasa. Kita tunggu mama buka puasa bila Mr Sun comes down later, ya...?

Aliya: Hmm... Napa...? Mama tutup ke puasa?

Mama: Hehehehhehehe.... umm.... (didnt really know what to say) Yup... mama tutup puasa mama tadi masa Aliya sleep, masa Mr Sun belum keluar pun lagi...

Aliya: Kenapa?

Mama: Sebab skrg is the month of Ramadhan... semua muslim macam mama and Abah kena puasa (then i was afraid you didnt understand the concept of Months yet)

Aliya: Kenapa?

Mama: heheh... hmm... (now out of idea already) can i explain to you when you're a bit older?

Aliya: Kenapa?

Mama: Because by then, you could understand better....

Aliya: Hmmm (Not very satisfied yet, but.. ) okay.

Hehehe... then, when the topic resurfaced, you'd ask again... and again... :D. And of course I didn't and wouldn't mind... because I love you so.

The Baby Doll that says 'I love you, Mummy'

You've been asking Abah and I to get you the baby doll... Since you first saw the ad at Tok Ma's house. Abah gave you his word that he would get you the doll, if you behave as a good girl for the whole week. You were hesitant, but there was nothing you could have done to get things your way then. So you ... well, behaved like you. Like a fun, cheerful, witty 4 years old girl. You still drove us crazy sometimes, but at the end of the day, when we were watching you sleep we cant take our eyes off of you. Yezz.. you an angel. When you sleep....

Well, putting the condition was only a matter of delaying things that you're gonna get anyhow. He.. or me... WILL get that doll for you. We always did gave you almost everything you want, as long as they don't bring any potential harm to you. Only please, give us some time, okay... time wasnt on our side as yet. It will be soon. The weekend is coming.

BUT whatever happened to your old baby-doll I bought you when we live in JB? Hmm.. don't remember leaving it in MR.

"Mama, i need to talk to you about something"

This i have to do today. It has been on my mind since the moment it happened yesterday.

Me: Aliya, have you seen my sepit rambut here somewhere?

You: umm... Mama, come here.. I need to talk to you about something

Me, a lil bit puzzled by your action but amazed at the same time for hearing that sorta words came out of your cute lil mouth: Sure, honey. What is it?

You: Your sepit rambut is broken. I'm sorry fatin tak sengaja. It was an accident.

Me, terharu: Aww.. its okey sayang.. But where is it?

You: I hid it... Sbb kalau mama nampak nanti mama marah.. Fatin sorry mama...

Me: Alahai sayang... tak lah, mama x marah la..

Then i was thinking... Mama selalu ke marah Aliya for things like that? Gosh... I am so..oo.. sorry, sayang...

Then I hug and hug and hug you, and I think I couldnt stop hugging you, for making me see things that i have done to you without me realising it was for wrong reasons. And it was HOW you made me see it, that made me so proud of you... And you were just FOUR.

And I love you so.....

Aliya and Beach

You love beach... You love to swim... and since very little you never show any fear of water... These are among the moments you enjoyed the beach in Mersing, with your cousins Amzar, Adnin and Ayeesya, and your uncle and aunties. And of course, Abah and I were there too... :D.

Abah and You

Love this pic... There's so much love in it. It was taken a few moments after we finally reached the hotel room - Le Meredian in Kota Kinabalu, exactly a week ago. We had so much fun there. You were such a good girl, traveling with you was pure joy and not difficult at all. Your dad and i talked a lot about you, and couldn't stop thanking Allah for blessing us with you...
