Baby is Not Eating!!

Hubby called this morning and told me that Ashraf has not been eating well. Ashraf prefers eating home-cooked food and if we do eat out, he would eat only a little. When I say home-cooked food, it must eaten at his home. Not nyai’s home, not nenek’s home, not anybody’s home.

At home, he can eat 2-3 servings of rice. And hubby told me he refused to drink his milk too. Hmm… he just recovered from fever and cough last week. I am worried he might fall sick again if he's still not eating well for the next few days. Hubby said,” You are not here and he is not eating.” I told him not to repeat those words again as I would be so tempted to take the first flight out!

I asked Amirul and Azirul if they would be ok if I join Daddy and Ashraf in Singapore for a few days. Well, as expected, the answer was NO! On second thoughts, I decided to give this trip back home, a miss. I could not bear to leave them eventhough I actually miss my mom and dad so much. Even if I can spend 1 hour with them it would mean so much to me. *sigh*

To make myself busy and my mind occupied, I started browsing the kids’ photo album. Comparing their looks from when they were a baby and now. And decided to post the pictures here....

Amirul at 9mths & Amirul - 2 yrs with Azirul - 3 weeks

Azirul at 4mths & Amirul - 5yrs with Ashraf - 2 weeks

Then :-Azirul - 4yrs, Amirul - 6yrs & Ashraf 4mths

Now :- Amirul - 9yrs, Azirul 7yrs, Ashraf 2.5yrs

How fast time flies!!! Feel so old now!

I Beg You...

I didn't sleep well last night. Miss my "baby bear" and "Daddy bear". My 2 big boys quickly took their pillows and bolsters to my room when I told them that they can sleep with me last night. Secepat kilat!

And this morning after both left for school, the house is very quiet. I thought of going back to sleep but my pc is calling me.. hehe. So boring! I could actually go to the gym or go for a swim. But bum is too heavy. Hmm.. maybe we will go to Gurney Plaza for dinner . I'm craving for Nando's chicken. So Yummy!

On Tuesday, accompanied hubby to a shop at Island Plaza. I waited outside while he was talking to one of the staff there. He came out and told me,"You know what? That guy called me Abang!". My hubby is not comfortable with people, other than my brother and brother-in-laws calling him Abang. He prefers them call him by his name. Anyway I told him "It's ok for that guy to call you abang but if he called you Pakcik, then I will go in and beat him up." He was surprised and asked me why. I said,"If he called you Pakcik, then he would call me Makcik!!! I don't want!". hheheheh..

Dear hubby, I am so in love with you!

Lonely.... I'm so Lonely....

2 entries today....

Hubby and my baby Ashraf will be going to Singapore tonight. Hubby has an appointment there and since he will be there for 6 days, he decided to bring Ashraf along. Also because my parents-in-law miss Ashraf so much. Hubby will take Ashraf to visit my mum on Sunday. Sunday??? ohhh.. there goes my ikan terubuk!!! Will miss my ikan terubuk this Sunday cause hubby not around to take us for brunch. Not that I cannot drive but I rather eat something else at home than leaving my place, starting the engine and driving on the road with so many courteous drivers here. I'll end up leaving the car on the road and walk home... Really!

Yesterday, I managed to bake some pineapple tarts for my MIL and my mum. Have been baking pineapple tarts for the whole of last week.. craving! Cannot wait for Hari Raya! Actually already baked some last few days but some got burnt. But luckily we still have some pineapple fillings left so I baked again yesterday. Unfortunately, the last few pieces we ran out of pineapple fillings. So I used strawberry jam. And it turned out like this....

Yes, those with strawberry jam doesn't look appealing. But it's delicious! Not enough...Will bake again this weekend! hahah!

I've received email from a lady asking me if I could make Lollypink Barefoot Sandals and Princess Arianna Pink for adult . After checking my beads, I told her I could make about 2 pairs of Lollypink for her. Placed orders with my supplier from US for Princess Arianna and also other designs. My Lollypink is ready and my maid copied the design and made a LollyRed too. hehe.

Also I managed to finish my Suede Laces and ready to pack and pass to hubby. He will then pass them to my sister, Lina.

Well... I will miss my dearest beloved hubby and my baby so so so much. So used to having 2 guys sleeping with me every night and without them... I'm lonely... I'm so lonely... but I've got 2 guys waiting for these 2 to go so they can take over... hehehe..

The last time hubby and baby went to Singapore was about 1.5 mths ago and that was only for 2 nights. But this time, 5 nights! Dunno how is my baby going to cope without me... or more like... how is my hubby going to manage Ashraf without me...hehehe..pandai pandai lah u buat nasib. Anyway they will be staying with my sister-in-law and my mil is there to take care of Ashraf when hubby goes out for his meetings. This is the face that I will miss sooooo much! Mama loves you so much, Baby!

Last night while hubby was packing his stuff, I asked him... Will you miss me, dear? hehehe.. He said,"Of course I will miss you, baby. You know I will miss you. I never like to be away from you, baby." ahhhh... so sweet right... that's my hubby! Love you so much, hubby.

TONIGHT I SLEEP ALONE! YIPPPIIIEEE... no one to pull my left (Ashraf) and right hand (hubby)... PEACE!!!

Lizzy McGeli

Sis Muna wrote about her "friend" in the kitchen yesterday. And I would also like to tell you a story abt Lizzy McGeli too.

Last week, my 2.5 yrs old son, Ashraf was telling me something and was pointing at the kitchen but I was not paying attention as I was busy watching tv. So I just nodded my head and said yes, ok. hehehe.. I thought he was pointing at my maid's hairband on the floor. So I told him to give it back to my maid. He then went to the kitchen, dunno what he did and to the living, took a piece of tissue and handed it to me. I asked him what was the tissue for. He said,"mama, zard." I went to the kitchen and saw a dead lizard with isi perut terkeluar, lidah terjuntai... he stepped on that poor lizzy mcgeli!!! makkk geliiiii...

Last night I saw a baby lizard in the kitchen. Ashraf got excited. I told my maid to kill it before Ashraf step on it again!

Guyanese Coconut Buns

INGREDIENTS:

· 2 cups all-purpose flour

· 1 cup white sugar

· 1 teaspoon baking powder

· 1/2 teaspoon salt

· 1 cup butter, cut into pieces

· 2 eggs

· 1/2 cup milk

· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

· 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

· 3/4 cup flaked coconut

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add butter, and cut in using a pastry blender or a fork until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet ingredients. Add coconut, and mix just enough to blend. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

Which child you love most?

I had posted this question on a forum and would also like to post the question here.
My ex-colleague asked me which of my 3 children I love most. I told her that I love them equally. She told me that it was not possible for any mother to love her kids equally. She also mentioned that even the fingers on our hands are short and long and that love too would not be equal.

I asked her that if the fingers on her hands were not of equal length, does she love them equally. I'm sure she loves her fingers equally because each fingers have their own specialty and purpose. Just like my children, they have different characters but I love them equally. But she still doubts me.

Well... do you parents love your kids equally? Is there any such thing as loving one more than the others? Is there any favoritism in the family?
