Festival Layang-layang Antarabangsa Pasir Gudang 2008

Festival Layang-layang Antarabangsa is an annual event conducted in Bukit Layang2, Pasir Gudang.. so this is hasif's first experience going to the pesta.. but we were not so lucky.. when we reached there at noon last sunday, 24 feb 2008, there was no wind.. we heard an announcement from the mc or someone tht no kite managed to soar due to the lack of wind.. aiseh br nak show off all those beautiful n gigantic kites to hasif..

the building on our back is Muzium Layang2. u know hasif, it's sooo difficult to let u use that topi.. each time u noticed something foreign on top of ur head, u will reach out n throw the topi on the ground..

hasif is soo excited to watch the kids playing their kite.. it's so meriah over there.. ppl were getting in the mood to play kite, with lots of stall selling kites, vaiety of shapes and kinds..


in front of the Muzeum Layang-layang Pasir Gudang..

there was also a blood donation campaign for hospital waqaf an-nur.. medical check up is a necessity to ensure tht only fit person donates blood..

papa in action.. nasib baik x mabuk darah (ehehehe ye ke x mabuk :P) in the meantime, ma brought hasif around jalan2..

we know it's time hit the road back home when we noticed this.. alahai sian dia ngantuk sgt2 dah.. we went there straight from hospital anyway.. hasif had his second jab for pneumococcal earlier tht day.. so we went back straight though we had been there for only a little over an hour.. it was scorching hot anyway..

this year we were unable to watch the beautiful kite.. variety of shapes normally.. it's ok, till next year..

TGIS (Thank God It's Saturday)

our weekend started with a good food with a good companion.. remember spec i asked u last about the good smorgasbord in jb..? well i found one tht we love already.. hyatt jb.. on friday n saturday nite, they hv a fantabulous bbq buffet dinner.. the price might be a little bit on the high side (RM50++ per head, plus the tax n service charge, for 5 adults kira la sendiri kan).. but the variety tht they have is definitely worth it (esp for ppl who lovessss to eat like us :D) the grilled variety includes salmon n dory fish, squid, lobster, sausages, otak2, beef n sekor lamb.. they also hv satay, lobster bisque, ghee rice n buttered rice n a few lauks, n many more.. i absolutely love their dessert.. beautifully decorated n taste so good..

before we went out.. we were out from the house 6:0 pm.. reached there around 7 pm..

the first dish tht ma had.. assortment of grilled items - lobster, beef, salmon n a pc of grilled squid..

nadrah n abg haziq. the long biscuit tht they had is so good.. crunchy.. (note to mak ngah n pak teh: the taste is like biskut azan.. cicah ngan air teh sodappp ni)

this is hasif's fav.. jelly with fruits.. the taste is good.. hasif managed to consume all the jelly in the glass..

waaa papa gigih menyudu nak kasik anak mkn ke sendirik nak mkn :P

oooooooooooo it's for the little prince..

mak long yg dah sarat (expected to deliver this coming april.. a couple more months to go), kak nadrah n pak long.. ehehe pak long nmpk cam x selera mkn je tu..

more lobster.. yummy..

abg haziq n umi (mak long's mother)

kak nadrah was pretending to be a spiderman.. hv a close look at her finger..

a walk outside to release pressure in the stomach.. eheheh too much eating already..

the lighting made it look like a scene in horror movie, when in fact the kids had a jolly good time ehehe..

one last pose before we head home, 10pm with a full stomach.. i personally think i gain another 1.5 kg on tht nite alone (those who know me must hv known better :D) but everyone went home happy.. (apsal la we took only a pc of the long biscuit each kan.. the taste is soooo good.. we were supposed to bring back a handful each :D)

(post note to mak ngah n pak teh n pak su: we will treat u guys here if u come down here in jb.. so meh la sini.. best ooo :D)

A Year Ago..

pre-birthday entry...

this photo was taken exactly 365 days ago.. see hasif, u were still in my tummy at tht time.. waiting for the big day to make ur grand entrance to the world.. ma looked like at walrus at tht time (though i was only seven and a half months pregnant at tht time).. nooo i looked more like a 10-months' pregnant walrus.. tht's more like it :D i may not be the prettiest sight to watch at tht time, but i thank God for letting me having u hasif.. n thanks papa for being so patient n so charming..

see hasif, ma's protuding tummy.. u were inside :)

mama with hasif in my tummy.. during this time i was around 4 months' pregnant.. the face starts to become rounder n rounder..

Prettiest Mom

Before I was a Mom
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn’t worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.

Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t want to put him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn’t stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom
I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn’t know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn’t know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn’t know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom..
