Sleeping by yourself

14 feb 2013- We changed the place of the single bed in the master bedroom because you wanted to have a kelambu-like cover for the bed and then you said you will sleep by yourself. Which you did, well the first night i kept waking up at all hours just so i cam look at you and check that you are still asleep and did not fall off the bed. The second night, i suddenly found you sitting next to me in the middle of the night! You gave me a fright! God knows how long you had been sitting there. So you ended up in the big bed with me and bak. The third night, we got back late from tok bak's house - the usual saturdays get together. So you slept like a baby till morning. Then the fourth night you wanted to sleep with me at 2.30am. Let's see how it goes from here.

Actually we tried this sleeping by yourself at the end of 2011 as you were starting Year 1. That didn't last very long what with the cryings at school and all. We'll see how this goes :)

Solat

So its time to start. Solat 5 times a day. The sejadah is new. Mak Teh paid for it and you chose the design as mama was the one who clicked buy online. Mama berdoa agar Arwen akan menjadi anak yang solehah dan tak tinggalkan solat.

Before we prayed here in the picture, you took you showered and already performed your wuduk and then I ask you to wait while I showered. Suddenly, you came to me and asked seriously "ma, kalau main batal tak wuduk?" - you were playing lego then. It never occurred to me that you would ask that. :)

Troll Talk

Jan 22, 2013. You were so cute Wen, no teeth and all. You were saying the dialogue between 2 trolls from the movie Tinkerbell and The Lost Treasure.

Troll 1: The expression, to grind the bones to make our bread, not bed!
Troll 2: Oh, really? Who would want to make bread out of bones? Might break a tooth.
Troll 1: Well, who would want to sleep in a bed made out of bones? It's hard on your back, put a creak in your neck!

You always have a talent to imitate or mimic anyone or anything that you want.

Shopping

17 jan 2012- today you asked me "how come you dont want to go shopping anymore ma? Is it because you are tired?

You had heard bak and i talking about how i said we should stop shopping this year. Then you worriedly ask "but what about food? How are we going to get food?"

Oh dear i am so sorry you thought that stopping shopping also included grocery shopping! Well i explained that of course we wil still buy food! I was referring to clothes, shoes, toys, unnecesary stuff which we already have enough.

I know having and buying things are great but we cant have too many things because then we'd be bogged down with too much clutter.

How Mama and Bak first met

17 Jan 2013 - Today coming back from school you asked me how Bak and I first met. Wow. I think I asked Tok Bak how he first met arwah Tok Bak when I was in my late twenties I think! hahaa You are so young and already asking this question.

Well, we met in our Australian matriculation (ausmat) programme when we were 17 years old. Well i was almost 18 since we met in June 1993. We were classmates (class Selwyn). Actually, we have a mutual friend, Aunty Zaireen. She was my Bbgs schoolmate and bak's tuition mate in Form Five. She also worked with bak in the Giordano (clothing store) after they finished Form Five. Well, anyway she told Bak to find me when he entered Ausmat. Little did we all know that bak and i would be classmates, good friends, best friends, and getting married 9 years later.

Mengaji

Rumah Cikgu Ros

Well finally I managed to get a place for you to learn mengaji. I let you off for a whole year last year! Now since the second week of school, 7 Jan 2012 you started mengaji with Cikgu Ros at Sungai Penchala from Mondays to Thursdays every week. I pray that you will like and will do better at agama and bahasa arab this year.

Lego!!

16 Jan 2013- Bak bought a big stack of lego blocks for you!! It came in the box and you had to wait a very long time for it but it was worth the wait.
