Bidding farewell......

Goodbye seems to be the hardest thing to say, besides sorry. But I found that goodbye is nothing to my 3 year old little diva.

Since we are moving to our new place very soon, I have decided to withdraw Little Nadyne from her current nursery so that she will be able to spend more times with nenek. Yela...nanti rumah baru jauh dari nenek. Tak boleh jumpa nenek tiap-tiap hari macam sekarang. Tsk...tsk...tsk...( mommy yang sedey lebih sebenarnya. Iman tak kisahhhh :p)

The teachers wanted to throw little diva a farewell party before she leaves. Nadyne came home a day before her party and told everyone about the BIG PARTY that's going to take place on the next day, without knowing that it was actually her's.

She cried as soon as we entered the nursery because she thought we were going to leave her again. Only after seeing the cake, party packs, balloons and pressies she started smiling and enjoying the company.

Thank You and farewell to teahers and friends. Love, Nadyne

The present from all teachers and friends

The deco

It was fun to see how the kids mingle so well, despite the different races and religions. And little diva was totally a different character when she's around her teachers. She will be nodding in agreement to whatever her teacher had to say to her, unlike at home. She rules and objects almost everything told by mommy or daddy. Man....how did the teacher teach them? Does that make us a failed parents or kids are afraid of their teachers by nature??

So, here are some photos of little diva with everyone in her nursery.....

Tengok betapa "tertib" nye budak2 ni. hahahhahahah

Nenek was there too

Itu sahaja segmen selongkar kita untuk minggu ini. But in case you are wondering....this bag belongs to me and not little diva. And the toothbrush? I don't call her 'little diva' for no reason, okay! :p 

Mini Mommy

My little diva has been into all the girlie stuffs ever since she was small (well she's still small :p), which is a good sign. She loves babies ( A LOT. She has more babies that I do. Ahaks. She has about 5 now.),cooking (she cooks for her babies and also for me), make-up and perfume (she's obsessed with lip gloss now), accessories ( sunnies and hair clips especially) and not to mention purses, clothes and shoes. Wonder where she acquired all these interest from?? *blow nails*

Baby by her side. This was taken when she was 1year plus.

With another baby. Take a close look at the baby's shirt. It's her's. Sharing is caring, okay :p

Most of her sunnies are pink.

Exploring the lip gloss

2 sunnies at a time? Totally diva!

Kadang-kadang pening gak kepala bila everytime we leave the house she has to take all her "favourite" things with her to an extend daddy told her that he would get a bus or lorry to accommodate these "madness". Hahahahah.Poor daddy. He used to have 1 diva (guess who!) and now another one. Queen or rather princess of all divas. hahahahahha.

On a special note and on this very special day to all mommies, mommy would like to tell you how blessed I am to be your mother. You are my precious, my sanity and my WORLD. You have totally changed the person I used to be. I'm proud of you, always and I hope you'll be a good mother someday....

What if ????

Good Morning beautiful people (which of course include myself)! hahahahahhaha

What if ???? That's the question usually asked by a low-risk taker like myself. I'm very cautious in all my actions, though sometimes I can't help but to make mistakes. Costly ones, that was initially taken for good reasons.

So....last nite,while lying on the bed with lights off just before I closed my eyes, I had this bittersweet feelings while staring at my little ones. She was holding my hands and kept herself closed to me. The ritual..just before she says her favourite line every night, "mommy... hug Iman". (like please hug me)

Its a beautiful feeling watching how much she has grown up before my eyes. Just how much she has acquired new skills (I'm impressed that she can now make her own so-called "paper boat" , when she merely fold the paper to dunno what shape. hahahah), words (countless and I'm clueless just where she got it from), and liking (I discovered she loves to sing, just like mommy. But not Anuar Zain's song just yet, but "ABC" or "Twinkle twinkle little star", choose her own clothes (whether a new one or even what to wear after shower. And it just drives me crazy when sometimes she chooses to wear pyjamas to birthday party), her favourite food / titbits (she's obsessed with m&m and cadburry and only drinks plain water...manis kononnya. Pelik kan when she actually loves chocolate).

While holding her tiny hands, this question crossed my mind... What if I don't wake up the next morning? What if last night was my last night alive?

• I will surely miss that sweet little smile that she gives me every night before she goes to sleep and every morning when she opens her eyes.
• I'm going to miss that addictive natural smell of her.
• I'm going to miss that cheeky laugh.
• I'm going to miss the way she would clumsily eats her m&m and dirty her hands,clothes and face.
• I'm going to miss that sweet moment hearing her say "Iman tayyyanngggg (sayang) mommy".
• I'm going to miss the way she holds my face close to her's passionately and kisses me on my lips.

Most importantly...I am going to miss just how much I LOVE her unconditionally!

Ya Allah! Writing this post alone brought tears to my eyes. (Hope nobody is looking because I'm at the office now). I hope I don't have to think about having to leave her at least for now. But...nothing is eternal! This life and even IMAN NADYNE is a loan. One day...sooner or later....we will be apart,certainly! I have to be prepared!

But....I hope I would be given ample time to be with Iman, grow old seeing her goes to school, university, graduate, dating, get married, build her own family and have kids. Im sure it's every mommy's dream just so that we can leave the world in peace knowing that our loved ones is taken care of.

To Iman Nadyne dearest....
I hope someday... when you are "big" enough to read my blog even if I'm no longer around, you'll be able to understand just how much mommy loves you and how worried I am to leave you. You were one of the best thing ever happened in my life and I treasure every moment I get to be with you.Though most of the times mommy is the more fierce one compared to daddy but that doesn't mean that mommy loves you any less. And mommy actually cries while writing this.....

Happy Kid = Happy meal

Im glad to witness how F&B's businesses have evolved in their roles as not only providing normal services & product to people but also carrying their social responsibility towards bringing family together and also creating comfortable, fun and happy ambience while enjoying the food.

In case you are wondering what I'm mumbling about....its about how restaurants and food outlets have become more family oriented, especially for families with infants and toddlers. As a mom of 3 years old, I am very selective in my restaurants choices. You know how uneasy and chaotic it could be having a kid around while trying to enjoy your meal at the same time.

Since ada Iman Nadyne ni, makan kat luar ni dah tak jadi berapa relax. Macam mana situation pun...tetap mencabar. If makanan dia sampai dulu pun, bila dia dah habis makan....dia akan buat perangai. If makanan dia sampai lambat ....lagi teruk la kan. You cannot imagine how I have to keep her entertained throughout our patronage. But thank God, it is not as hard as before anymore.

Banyak dah food outlets yang ada special corner for the kiddos, like IKEA, most McDonalds and some KFCs. Actually....it doesn't take much to entertain the kids. Like in case of Iman Nadyne, a cute plate and cup is enough to keep her busy throughout. Speaking of which, she had a good time during our lunch at Absolute Thai today. Besides good food, I really feel that this personalized service goes a long way.



I couldn't agree more with the tag line! Very personalized. Its everywhere...



Look at how proud she is! She enjoys eating on that plate and the alphabets on the plate kept her entertained. She had fun figuring out which alpahabet belongs to who...Like "J" for daddy Joe!

Little Miss Sunshine's pandan chicken.

A must have Thai food.... mommy's thick TomYam soup

Happy Iman = Happy mommy = Happy US!



Guilty mommy

My little girl is down with high fever since yesterday. Brought her to clinic for antibiotics but she is still weak and sick. Poor little monster.

To make it worse, mommy is not with her cos mommy has to work. "Do you really have to mommy?". I bet she has that question at the back of her mind. Well....she asks me a similar question every single day. Every morning when I carry her to the nursery or even the night before that, she will ask me and hubby , "esok mommy & daddy tak pedi keje kan?". My heart breaks everytime she poses that question to me. I run out of answers because she keeps asking me the same though my answer has been consistent every single day.

Is this what every working mommy has to face everyday? The guilt is just overwhelming. I'm caught in the middle. Working to provide the family which also means leaving my daughter in stranger's hand. And the fact that I have to make her to do something that she doesn't like, which is going to nursery is killing me. Does this make me a bad mother? Will she understand or will she hates me? Though I don't send her to nursery when she's sick, because I have my mother assisting me in taking care of her, but still....I am sure she needs me by her side. Or at least, let her stay at home with nenek and a maid and never have to go to nursery. But what can I do when I can't afford to have a maid. It's just too blardy expensive. RM8k to bring in a maid? What happen if the maid put a Houdini act after 3 months? Well...let's not get that far because I don't even have that 8k to start with. Poor mommy and little Iman .

I think little girl has so much to tell me but it has not been properly expressed because she doesn't know how to. But being the one who gave birth to her, I can tell that its a great daily ordeal from that body language. It must have been very depressing for a 3 years old girl to endure the 5days-a-week at the nursery, just like how mommy hates to be at work. But hey!!!! Mommy is an adult and mommy has to deal with this, but a 3 years old doesn't have to, right! I love to see her all bright when I get home in the evening from work. She started singing, dancing  and talking non-stop. But I hate to see her face in the morning when we reach the nursery. She will hold me tight and not letting go and start crying. Can you imagine how torturing it is to put up with this 5-days-a-week for the past 1.5 years now?? (because she stayed with my mom for 1 year)

As a mother, obviously I want only the best for my daughter and these days, the best doesn't comes free. And being in my shoes now, I feel bad and guilty because I can't afford to give the best just yet to Iman Nadyne. I hope one day she will understand that what I am doing now is the best that I can afford at this very moment.



Dear baby girl, just so that you know...mommy & daddy is working real hard to give you the best and that's our promise. We are really sorry to put you through this for now but better future is coming ahead real soon. We love you so much!



Mommy's Mannequin

On 1 random weekends, we went to One Utama for a casual family outing. As usual, I'll make it a point to drop by at my favourite outlets. When I passed by the GAP Kids Outlet, I saw the mannequin wearing a striped-ballerina like-long sleeve-dress that has really captured my eyes. Mommy went head over heel for the dress and want Iman girl to wear it soooo badly.

I bawak Iman masuk and lucky me....mood dia ok la plak aritu. Masuk fitting room terus try it on. She got very excited and started checking out herself in the mirror. Hahahahaha. Diva gilersss!!!

Dah syok sangat try baju baru, Iman terus tak nak bukak baju tu. Hahhahahaha.....this is my favourite part cos I really fell in love with the dress. And now, ada la sebab mommy nak bagitau daddy kenapa mommy kena beli baju tu. Boley tak? "Inila yang dinamakan FAMILY PLANNING"( REF : 3 Abdul).hehehehhe

So....what happened then??????

Tadaaaa........Malaysia's Baby GAP Ambassador
Terus pakai jalan2 yang tak tahan tu.Diva betols la!
