2011-04-30T23:23:00.000-07:00

Let me share the various pictures of Fasha in her poses while working on her homework, in school uniform, and working up on some skills. The latest pictures are those with her new, medium short hair...

Photos taken within this year... 2011.

Adoring every angle and every hair-length of my dearie...,

Both on homework...

2011-04-30T22:13:00.001-07:00

Mommie has a lot to prepare for this coming semester - new subjects, new syllabus, new teaching materials - and Fasha has a lot to complete in her homework - 2 weeks of absence with double homeworks compared to previous months, revision week to come, exam week coming up after...

Photo shows Mommie's homework and Fasha working on her homework, on Mommie's bed. Both not yet taken their bath. Time check 12:30PM, Sunday 1st May 2011. Yikes!!

Mommie and daughter, made for each other?

"Model" Posing out of Weekend Boredom

2011-01-22T02:39:00.000-08:00

2 full days at home with Mommie, really put a 5+year-old to a maximum boredom... that she chose to disturb her mom's rest on the couch with her poses for capture.

... And at last she slept off on Mommie... just when Mommie was about to get up. Oh well..., another 2 hours nap for me then! ;D

My little echo close at heart...,

Clingy...

2011-01-16T00:00:00.000-08:00

She wants to do whatever Mommie does, and be wherever Mommie is... Check her out in prayer suit, and acting so expert in 'mixing' the tea for tea-time.

... and now she's complaining that she's so tired after such hard work 'mixing' the tea... Huh? Hhmm... :-?

Clingy and non-stop chatty,

Delegate the work!

2011-01-15T22:44:00.000-08:00

I learn something from office and PhD research - delegate the work that you can delegate... to the lower level 'worker'. Erks! So check out my 'lower level worker' whom I delegate my work to.

Oh ya, you have to make sure that the 'worker' likes to take up the work. Otherwise, they will not perform. ;D Aha!

The works delegated to my 5plus-year-old are washing her own socks, and later in the evening folding her own clothes. Of course, she has to rinse it, and wash the basin after that too. ;D

Lazy Sunday, boring kiddo, work delegated accordingly...,

Mi corazon

2011-01-15T19:43:00.000-08:00

This weekend is too much of "Chihuahua" movie - about talking dogs in Mexico, mostly speaking in Spanish. Here's some script adapted from the movie, but translated into our terms of use...

Mi corazon (my heart)...
Without you, there will be no sun rising in the morning
(and Mommie can sleep longer)
Sing to me in your lovely voice
(because your non-stop chatting and calling is too much for me to bear)

OK, I don't memorise the rest of the script. Only those two I can remember roughly.

Here are some photos of mi corazon's pranks in the house... partly my fault for letting her play on her own with full boredom - well, no choice.

Mi corazon, la vida loca..., ;D

New year, new school...

2011-01-02T16:59:00.000-08:00

Fasha's official first day of new year at new 'school' - SmartReader Kids. She has a test supposedly, to determine which level of languages she should register in. Hopefully she's in Level 3 for both Malay and English. All the best, honey! Mommie love you... Muah! :-*

(The photos are in reverse chronological order. The first two photos were taken after school today.)

I've arranged my schedule to have classes in the afternoon, so that I can sort out her transportation personally before I start my work. Hope it goes well throughout the year.

Hoping for the best for us,

And people don't believe...

2010-12-23T06:16:00.001-08:00

Seeing this kind of mess, people don't really believe that I only have 1 kid, and she's a girl...

... and this happened after 2 hours of turning my back against her. Oh, and the block that are everywhere on the couch and floor? That was after about 5 rounds of playing building the vertical 'thin' tower for Mommie. Err... :-?

Lazy Mommie and mess-maker Kiddo - what a combination!

It's a boy! It's a monkey! It's... oh, just my daughter

2010-12-23T02:20:00.000-08:00

After picking her up early from the nursery today, she suggested that we hang out at Mamak on the way home to enjoy tea. Once we reached home, the weather was nice enough for a visit to the playground.

Below are her photos enjoying herself at the playground in our apartment compound.

Mommie-Daughter time,

5th Birthday at Port Dickson

2010-11-14T03:18:00.000-08:00

My 5th birthday falls on a weekend, and it's a good number worth celebrate - 10th October 2010 (10-10-10). Instead of having a normal birthday party, Mommie thought it would be good to listen to my request all this while - hotel and beach!! Yippedie Yehh!! ;D

Mommie booked a hotel for us, without really knowing how to get there. Mommie said she never drove to Port Dickson before, so I had to behave all the way through the journey. We even passed by Mommie's company's new campus at Springhill. Interesting...

Not much details to tell by now, but what I remembered was that I took Mommie's photo on our first evening there, during dinner at Pizza Hut.

I was quite cranky, even though I chose Pizza Hut that I wanted to go so much before..., and I asked to sit on Mommie's lap before my mushroom soup arrived!

The next morning, it was beach hunting and sand-castle building at one of the biggest beaches there in Port Dickson.

After playing at the beach, we went to the Ostrich Farm, which we bumped into the night before during our roam-around looking for places to visit. Quite surprising to see the first group of animals there was goats... and they liked me, "embekkk... embekkk..." and clinging on the wooden fence trying to greet me!

Ostriches are funny. I saw them before, during one of the trips the school brought me to.

They also had cocks, hens, ducks, and such...

They also have petting zoo at the Ostrich Farm, but most of the cuties were in cages. I guess we were too early, and nobody was attending to us.

The last dip on 10th Oct 2010 evening... I was ready with swimsuit - notice the big bums I had in this pic? It's not diapers, OK? Hehehe... ;D

Dip... dip... dip..., and I love the slide! Wow wee!!

The last view of the pool from the breakfast cafe, before heading back to KL on 11th Oct 2010:

My favourite breakfast at the hotel - sausage and eggs. Yup, I had half-boiled eggs! Mommie just showing her 'yucky' face all the way seeing me digging the eggs! ;D

Enjoying the 2 nites at Le Paris Hotel, Port Dickson,

Mommie on long leave! Wow wee!

2010-11-13T19:36:00.000-08:00

I guess my whining of "Nak Mami.. Nak Mami.." (meaning, "I want Mommie") really works! Out of no reason, Mommie took her week off to be with me! Oh yaa.., there's some trick in there too. She's arranging a new school for me too. Sigh...

Here are some photos of our whereabouts during Mommie's days off...

After school, Mommie had some work to do at North Wing Campus of UCSI University, and she brought me along. The work only took up some short time, and we had nothing much to do even though I didn't want to go home yet. So its' photography time! Peace!! B-)

Lunch at Pappa Rich in Kota Damansara, with AuntieLouise, AuntieJoyce and UncleP.. P... Sorry, forgot his name. I was soo cranky, and jealouse seeing Mommie laughing so much at AuntieJoyce's jokes! AuntiJoyce was right, though, when she said that I made my Mommie's hair messy when going out with her. Hhmm...

A Saturday afternoon at Kids' Buzzaar at Bangsar. They have some activities for kids, like pizza-making and batik painting... but I was too shy to even try. All I did was asking Mommie to buy me the expensive puzzle, hairband, bubblegum, choc... Hehehe.. :D

An evening at Kiara Park, Taman Tun Dr. Ismail... I was too shy to play with my rollerblade, and also too shy to join the rest of the kids at the playground! Sigh...

Prayer time...

2010-08-30T14:34:00.000-07:00

Fasha was given a gift she longed to have since our last visit to Alor Setar (few months back) - a set of 'praying clothes'. In some ways, she changed a bit - she no longer disturbs my prayer by sitting in front of me on the prayer mat or giving a long wail of cry beside me, and she would constantly ask me to pray even during non-praying time (which is still annoying, too!)...

Here's how she looks like in her costume; thank you TokMama for getting one for her. It's a bit big for her, and I think I better find another inner cap to cover most of her hair.

During one of the weekends, she made a fuss of wanted to pray, and I let her be... and then she complaint about how the small 'sejadah' (praying mat) kept on moving and got itself folded when she stood up from 'sujud', etc... Oh! She wanted to pray because she wanted to give me a demo on how 'non-feasible' the small praying mat is?! Sigh... Cunning.

Mommie over Tottie's new excitement,

Swimming at Barbeque Birthday Party

2010-08-07T22:45:00.000-07:00

It was on 27th June 2010, at Tiara Kelana, Kelana Jaya, Selangor (AuntieNadine's House)..

I like party, but I didn't feel like joining the crowd. I hardly know anyone there, so I preferred to play at the nearby playground instead of joining the rest of the children having fun with the party clown..

The part I enjoyed most at AuntieNadine's daughter's party was the swimming pool! Here are 2 photos Mommie managed to take of me, in my new swimming suit and goggles..

Actually, I didn't tell Mommie that I was monitored closely and at most times were wearing floaters during swimming classes at school. So I was losing a bit of control when I dipped in the swimming pool at the party, and couldn't balance myself very well.

The next day, I had a bad cough, due to lots of pool water that went in my system. Sigh..

Swimming lesson learnt,

Sports Day 08 May 2010

2010-08-07T22:05:00.000-07:00

We missed last year's Sports Day because of the eye infection both me and Mommie had. So this is our first Sports Day, under REAL Kids Kota Damansara, held at REAL International School..

My event was walking on the coconut shells. It was so difficult, and Mommie was mumbling, complaining about it all by herself at the side of the arena..

Just like last year's Concert Day, Mommie couldn't stop her tears seeing me so 'grown up' on the field. She said, it's like the whole life has just passed by her sight. I wonder what that means.

That's Sports Day from my side. Roger and out.

Teetering on the life-wire,

Trip to Damai Laut, Lumut, Perak

2010-08-07T20:58:00.000-07:00

It was the weekend of 10 Apr - 11 Apr 2010, when we decided to have a good escapade to Damai Laut Lumut, Perak, with AuntiePinky. This was our second escapade since 2007, to the same destination.

Here are some photos taken during this escapade. Not sorted according to chronology.

I had fun, I love the beach, and I want to go there again..,

Due to busy schedule, Mommie couldn't find time to slot in some of my pranks over the weekends spent with her. Here are some of the photos, back from my 'younger' days..

Movie Weekend - Part II

2010-04-04T04:34:00.001-07:00

The next movie we went for was for "How to Train your Dragon" - a 3D animated movie.

After collecting our tickets, Fasha made me buy her this pair of cute pink bear hairclip, at one of the expensive accessories shop.

Looking pretty with the hairclips, we headed towards a new cafe at e-Curve, called "Duduk". We had a nice chocolate cake there, with some food to fill ourselves up before the movie.

We arrived the cinema just in time. During our previous cinema-watch, Fasha just opened her mouth and I fed her caramel popcorns, one after another, with Pepsi drink in between. Her eyes never moved from the screen. This time round, she managed to smuggle her own choice of snacks. Ah well..., as long as she has something to avoid her mouth from being cranky and loud.

The movie was great. Another weekend movie plan ended well for Mommie-and-daughter movie-goer! ;D

Looking forwards for more fun at the movies,

Movie Weekend - Part I

2010-04-04T04:01:00.000-07:00

Lately, Fasha managed to control her crankiness in the cinema. Nowadays, watching movies with her is an enjoyable thing instead of worrying that she would crank so much that we would need to leave, etc.

A well-planned (or ad hoc plan, mostly) movie weekend would start with a filling brunch at her favourite restaurant. When she's in good mood, she would volunteer to stir Mommie's drink. Erk! Hhmm... It's her way of ensuring that I bring her to the movies, I guess. Hahaha!!

Normally, I would book the movie tickets online, so we had to get the tickets at the cinema one hour before the movie started. With the tickets in hand, we would have 1 hour to kill the time. The first movie weekend we had was on "Alice in Wonderland", and coincidentally there was some Japanese Toys Carnival at The Curve when we were hanging out there.

Fasha was beckoned to participate in colouring contest... It was a good opportunity for her, but the fact that they made the children colour using magic pens was not really up to my favour. Ah well...

The day was fun for her. Oh, by the way, check out her new pants - the word "PRETTY" was printed on her bum! Isn't it cute?? Hehehehe :D

When Fasha found her shopping heaven...

2010-04-04T02:15:00.000-07:00

Without plans, we headed towards Sunway Pyramid, Jusco to be exact, after our brunch near home. Fasha just lightened up my 'financially-worried mind' with her act when she was surrounded by toys (mostly in pink) and stuff she likes.

Here are some photos of her in her shopping heaven - where she had a long time figuring what to buy:

... followed by her photos dressing up in the new 'princess dress-up' toy, which she wore the moment we reached home.. of course, with her milk bottle stuck in her mouth?! Hhmm...

Notice the accessories? The necklace, crown, earings, 2 rings (she prefers to wear them on her index fingers instead of third or ring fingers), and new 'Disney princesses' watch? Hhmm...

Wondering which 'feminine' part of mine got to my daughter,

Just to share with you Fasha's latest act on camera. She didn't know that I was capturing a video instead of static picture of hers. Check out her act in here. It started of with her shouting to decline being captured...

Anywhere, any paper, arts and craft

2010-02-16T01:27:00.000-08:00

We just reached home from a drive around town, with TokMama and TokPak. During our breakfast at Original Kayu Nasi Kandar in SunwayMas, Fasha found interest on a small piece of paper, which was the wooden ice-cream spoon cover. No matter how small the paper was, she found that it could still be made into a small airplane...

Delightful holiday with the little one,

Dancing Princess

2010-02-15T06:08:00.000-08:00

We visited Carrefour Kota Damansara for the first time this afternoon, with our guest for the holiday - TokMama. While waiting for TokMama and Mommie at the cashier, the music in the air invited Princess Fasha to dance to the tune and enjoy herself. Check out her moves...

Thank God she didn't watch lion dance this year! Phew! :-?

We haven't been updating much in here, sorry for that. This post is about Fasha who wants to feel beautiful that she starts trying out new dresses and hair accessories at night, since end of 2009 until today. Check out her poses in her Chinese New Year dress, and experiments on her new hair clips.

'Mengamuk' @Cinema

2009-08-28T21:36:00.000-07:00

I promised my mini-Me for a movie on "Up!" and she's so excited over it. I took a day off just to bring her to cinema, despite my lack of sleep and exhaustion due to fasting.

Here are some snapshots on how Fasha behaved before and after the cinema visit - excited that she ran first to escalator etc, playful while waiting for the cinema to allow us to enter the theatre room, playful in the cinema climbing stairs and sitting everywhere in the dark, cranky to the max in the middle of movie that I had to drag her out..

Eventually when she dragged my foot as if she wanted to go back into the cinema, she actually not certain what she wanted, so I had no choice but to 'drag' her out of cinema.. Well, literally 'walk away' and let her chase after me until we're in the car driving home.

Darn tiring.. :-(

Green Tortoise, 'Pokok Malu' and Carbon Maker

2009-08-15T10:59:00.000-07:00

Just some snapshots of Fasha in her latest naughtiness...

Friday (14 Aug 2009) morning visit at 'pokok malu'... All the plant needs is a sweet touch from Fasha, to make its day and Fasha's too.

Saturday (15 Aug 2009) morning - The green tortoise, pretending that the bag is heavy that she needs to crouch and walk like a hundred-year-old tortoise. Lately, I only need to pack a towel, 3 light clothes and a backup diaper for her, unlike previously when the bag was weighted heavily by the diapers alone.

Nice snapshot that makes her really look like an old green tortoise. She couldn't stop swaying her body knowing that I was so interested in capturing her acting as such.

"Hehehe..." giggling all the way...

Saturday morning visit to the 'shy plant' a.k.a. 'pokok semalu'. "Dia malu! Dia malu!" she exclaimed in delight.

Thursday (13 Aug 2009) night, out of bore, she started to waste the carbon from the pencil to colour the circle insets of the Ikea container cover. That yellow box contains all her colour pencils.

A clearer view of 'artist at work'... :-S As expected, she dirtied her fingerprints, and even smudged her face, with the pencil carbon. Sigh!

Love having a cheerful one in da house,

"Aeroplane untuk Mami!"

2009-08-10T16:33:00.000-07:00

I was totally knocked down last evening after arriving home, gunned down by the fever that suddenly came into my system, while my kid just recovered from the same fever. Urgh! Talk about virus! :-(

I wasn't really aware what was going on in the living room while I was 'down' on the bed, but I do know that Fasha managed to eat on her own - the McD chicken I bought her to make ammends. Luckily I bought her something that she could manage herself huu huu...

I also know that she was playing on her own and watching TV up until I joined her, before she finally gave up to sleep after 10PM. But what I didn't know was...

Well, just have a look at these pics:

She built aeroplanes out of paper torn from the small notepad I gifted her, and put them in my notebook back... I could imagine she saying or thinking, "Aeroplane untuk Mami...!" like she always does when she made paper aeroplanes for me.

So sweet... Heart melting,

Bored, no appetite, about to get fever...

2009-08-09T17:30:00.000-07:00

We were both feeling under the weather on Sunday 9th August 2009. Less bucks in the pocket as well for formal medical check-up. By 3PM, I saw Dr Yus online, and coincidently she's at home and she had some stock of drugs I needed - claritene and zyrteg.

So we packed light and go to visit Fasha's AuntieYuyu, whom we hadn't met for quite some time. Got the medicine, and we dragged her out for early dinner. Being singles made us prone to non-proper food intake on Sundays... except for me, I guess, because Sunday I had time to cook at home, regardless how less ingredients there would be in stock.

Fasha did not have a good appetite like usual. I guess the throat was killing her, since she's been coughing quite badly for the past 1-2 days. And the running nose started this morning was not helping neither. She ate very little of the soup, not a single grain of rice touched, and off she went to play about the furniture at Ani's Soup Utara.

Yes, she even played with Mommie's phone once she saw me taking her photo.

Mami marah ke?

2009-08-08T23:49:00.000-07:00

“GEDEGANG!!!” Suddenly a loud thud was heard form the living room.

I turned to scan through Fasha’s surrounding from the kitchen sink… nothing fell from the sofa; she’s sitting on a double-layered sofa cushion, higher than usual; nothing looked suspicious on the coffee table, except for the Astro remote control that I knew she was playing with a while ago…

I gave a sharp look at Fasha and around her, and she shouted, “Takk!!” for no reason. As I turned back to my work, I heard her sweet voice checking on me, “Mami marah ke?”

I guess she was a bit surprised that I didn’t shout at her with a long nag like usual. I didn’t see any reason to do so anyway, so why should I lose my voice, right?

Anyway, I asked her to verify, “Apa yang jatuh?” She felt that she owed me a justification when she said clearly, one sentence at a time, “Fasha tak buat apa pun… Remote jatuh sendiri… Fasha baling.”

Hhmm… what else can I say, huh? I guess my stare should be enough to make her confess to anything. I rest my case.

Cameron Trip to True Colour...

2009-08-03T22:52:00.000-07:00

Friday, 31st July 2009. At about 9PM, we started from Petaling Jaya to Cameron Highlands, by bus. It was a trip organised by the Faculty of Management & IT, UCSI University.

We just had some sate for dinner at the meeting place - Friends at Millenium Square - and Fasha ate sate very well and skillfully. She was still eating sate when we sat in the bus.

After munching sate, she started to mix with her newfound friends - Irfan (Fasha's age) and Alia (1 year younger) - children of AuntieLiana (MommieSha's colleague). They made friends the afternoon before, when we followed AuntieLiana to leave the car in Klang.

The three of them sat in the same double-seat, before they started the 'party' of their own.

As you can see from the photos, Fasha was the 'JLo in Waiting for Tonight music video'! In other words, she was the party-initiator with her dance move and being in the middle of the 'small crowd'. The swaying bus did not budge these little party-goers from having a good time.

Knowing that MommieSha was capturing their photos, they also made funny faces for the camera.

Day 1 at Cameron Highlands. Upon reaching the first place to visit - Tea Planting - Fasha and Irfan were hand-in-hand stepping down from the bus and touring the place.

Strawberry munching time... Fasha disliked strawberry, unlike Alia who is a strawberry lover. She ran away the moment we were about to capture the group photo of all children participants of this Cameron trip.

Posing at English Garden, on the way out...

Enjoying nuggets in the bus... on the way to another destination.

The cool view to enjoy...

Next destination - Strawberry Park - required us to walk up the hill.

Those visits made the tots tired enough to doze off throughout the most interesting visit - the Boh factory uphill. The narrow way uphill was very challenging, and the tots actually felt the stress the bus driver had, it seemed. Hhmm...

Since Fasha did not wake up until the time we departed from this place, MommieSha could only manage to capture the photo single-handed.

The night is young... huh! Look at them! Jumping up and down, partying after the long doze!

The next morning, as if she knew we were heading back to KL, Fasha just stared out, viewing the moving scenery... on Mommie's lap.

"Nah! Gula!" Irfan offered some Sugus to Fasha, over his seat in front of us.

"Fasha ada gula!" Showing off to the camera, but the sweets were not seen in that fist. Duh...

"Nak AuntieLiana!" I thought she meant that she wanted to be close to AuntieLiana's kids, but she actually really wanted to be with AuntieLiana herself! "Uwaaa!!! My daughter wants another Mommie...!" AuntieLiana had to carry Fasha for a while, when the bus reached our breakfast destination.

Playing in the bus, on the way back to KL.

Bye bye to all... We're back at Millenium Square, PJ, and the time was after 9PM! Sigh!

The true colour of Fasha was shown during the trip. Otherwise, MommieSha would be wondering why Fasha is so famous among her friends...

The true colour is not so pink after all? Hhmm...,

"Mami, basuh la!"

2009-07-26T17:57:00.000-07:00

A boring Sunday, as usual. Fasha refused to have even a single second of nap, so we ended up munching the whole day.

I have a habit of washing the dishes if the kitchen sink is cleared from any unwashed pots and pans. So even when we have one or two small plates or cups, I wouldn't let it be in the sink without washed.

I guess Fasha noticed that. So when I've finished washing my few cups and plates, I returned to the couch to rest, she took that moment to finished off her drink and informed me about it.

I asked her to bring them to the kitchen sink, which she did dutifully. Upon coming back from the kitchen, she asked me to wash those dishes, "Mami, basuh la!"

I told her it's OK, I can do that later. Yet, she insisted that I washed them. So I just ignored her...

Up to one point, she couldn't control it any longer, so she said, "Ah! Fasha basuh lah!" I said, "OK", but never thought she would do it until she really turned to walk towards the kitchen.

I called out, "Be careful, OK? It will be slippery with the soap and all." "OK," was an honest and obedient reply I received.

Thus she went to the kitchen, pulled out the stool from below the sink, stood on it, and started washing the utensils. I asked her to use the liquid dish-washer, too - which she did, but using her hand instead of sponge! Sigh!

When the work is very little, she would prefer to get it done there and then itself. Probably her subconcious mind also thought that it was her fault of finishing her food so slowly that only her dishes were the only ones in the sink.

Another aspect is that she's bored, and since she's been washing her hands on her own for quite a number of times the whole day, why not she filled her time washing her dishes, too!

Sigh... My toddler... Growing up to be a girl so fast!

3 Months before 4th Birthday

2009-07-24T19:31:00.000-07:00

These are the daily snapshots on Fasha. She had an overnight fever last 2 weeks, and ever since then she shows an improvement on her speech, becoming braver in speaking English and Mandarin. Other than that, she just a yappity yapper as she always has been...

Favourite game - jigsaw puzzle. It's a 2-in-1 jigsaw puzzle of Disney princesses.

The most difficult thing to do in her daily routine - surrender to sleep. Once she's asleep, even though on the sofa, it's another task to move her to a proper bed, too!

The most beautiful pose, is when she's sleeping. Can't help melting seeing her sleeping beautifully that I had to capture a photo of her beauty sleep.

Boring night - might as well accompany Mommie on bed and make her do colouring.

Favourite (daily) hobby - colouring (and make others do the colouring as well). 'Others' would include her cousin KakNisya, her aunt UmmiNana, Mommie, AuntieYuyu... and others!

One of her colouring book collection - Tom & Jerry. Other colouring books she has include Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, My Friend Tigger & Pooh, etc. She also loves stickers, which include a book of stickers of Ben 10!

Concentration of colouring is the key to perfection; the pose should not affect the detail...

Trying to look cute, when she already knows she is. :p

The end game of the night - milk-sucking to sleep.

Taking a break from writing..

2009-06-26T20:00:00.000-07:00

I'm taking some few minutes off from writing a module now. Before I bang my head against that write-up again, let me share a story of my little-sweet-petunia's smart-scripting this morning. (Mind my vocab, a bit out of the book lately huu huu..)

Last night, there was a lot of 'kelkatu' flying around in our apartment block, and Fasha was so afraid of them and starting feeling cranky about them with her pretend cry and etc. [FYI, kelkatu is the type of flying bug that show themselves when it's about to rain, and they chase after the light.]

This morning, all we saw were 'dead bodies' of those bugs, on the floor. During the drive towards her daycare, Fasha said to me, "Mommie, dah tak ada dah butterfly kat rumah." ["Mommie, there's no more butterfly at home"].

I asked her, "Where did they go?"

Fasha replied, "Butterfly semua dah mati.." I was surprised that she knows the word 'dead' when I never encouraged that word at home.

I said, "Really?" which she answered with, "Yerr... Semua butterfly dah mati, atas lantai. Tadi Fasha nampak. Semua dah kena sapu, masuk dalam plastik.. Fasha nampak, Mommie! Fasha nampak," and she said those with a grin on her face..

Hhmm... My sweet petunia can talk so much now. Really a sweet company at home and while driving, I tell ya! Never regret a single moment of having her in my life.

Mmmmmuuuuuaaaaahhhh!!! Love you always, forever, my love-ling!

Photo taken by Fasha, of her own slippers, while waiting for her UmmiNana at Subang Airport.

What I've been up to?

2009-06-24T03:58:00.000-07:00

Here are some of the snap shots of me, during Mommie's silence these past few months. The photos are not in chronological order. Happy viewing!

Hello? Hello? ... Mommie, this phone is not working! :-(

Since this is the only 'hill' they have here at Subang Airport, and I wasn't playing to my heart content yet when Mommie picked me up, I guess this should do - climb over and jump on the other side, and run back to the front to climb on this again...

Where's my 'papoo'? I need to wear one. It's very cold here, I don't think I can control my bladder! Huu huu...

Where is UmmiNana? I've been waiting so long for her. "Tido dulu lah!"

Mommie brought me to cinema, for "Monsters vs Aliens"... Eh, was it "Aliens vs Monsters"? Eh... Whatever lah! I wasn't really watching anyway, but I finished the popcorn though! Haha!!

Yezza!! Mommie let me play with her notebook!! WAHAHAHAHA!!! >:D

Hhmm... Little Einsten is online. So does Handy Manny. So does Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. So does... Ah! Everyone is online ler!! Huu huu...

The bartender is busy, so I helped out with the bar... It needed some wiping. Hhmm...

Thank you, Children! Let me show you the door. Please come again!

I pity seeing Mommie shouting so much in the class, and writing non-stop just now. So I volunteered to erase the whiteboard. "Mommie, tak sampai!"

One eye out, but I still look cute. At least Mommie still trusts me with her car key! Wahahahaha!! >:D

I think by now Mommie kinda regrets sending me to school. I know how to play with stickers now, and my favourite spot is inside the car, on the sofa, on the coffee table, on the wall in my room, on Mommie's handphone, on... Isk! Everywhere lah! Muahahaha!!

Even with one eye shut, I know that I'm needed 'on the counter'... Hehehe!!

Giving me enough dizziness to last the months,

Morning pamper, afternoon rage and evening cuckoo

2009-04-27T04:21:00.000-07:00

Not really have much time to write, now... So let me just caption the pics away.

'Baby' with milk bottle... Accompanied Mommie working on some design job at Starbucks, after breakfast at PakLi. No choice but to bring her along. Normally Sunday is 'home day', but this week... Sigh!

Upon arriving home after pet-viewing, roam around shopping mall beside our house, and buying lunch, Fasha started to show her 'nonsense-rage' towards something impossible to give her...

She even refused to enter the house... even after I left her crying outside for some time, while I dumped some clothes for laundry and set the house a bit before trying to pacify her again.

When I came near, she started to hit me and refused to give up her demand. I think by this time, it's already more than 30mins she's in this state.

Trying to run away knowing that I tried to capture her pic.

5PM: After Asar, we planned to go to 'pasar malam' to buy dinner, and she's as cuckoo as my angel. In my language, we call it "tergagai", a total contrast to the behaviour in the afternoon.

Her 'cuckoo' act, something like chicken dance with eyes rolling and hands flapping so fast that even my camera couldn't capture her movement...

I asked her to repeat the dance since she was still into it when we were in the lift going down... So basically, this is what "tergagai" means. Duh!

Tiring Sunday...,

Parents' Day @CEC

2009-04-24T21:09:00.000-07:00

We just went to the Unofficial Parents' Day @CEC Kota Damansara. The purpose was for the teachers to get updated with the children's progress in school.

The moment we entered the premis, she started to act very darn shy and clingy to me. Oh gosh! She wanted to sit on my lap, never let me go, and when her friends came over to play with her, she started doing the 'roley poley' stunt on me... with her 16kg weight?! Urgh!

At one point of time, I heard cute voices calling out, "Farisha!!" Her classmates - Malay, Chinese and Indian - all were excited seeing her and calling her a few times, but she's too shy to join them, thus she did the body-twisting-and-hiding-face-in-Mommie stunt. Aduhhh...!!

We got to taste the new milk they were promoting - Dumex Immuno something - a higher end of Dumex milk compared to Dupro that Fasha is drinking now. And I really mean "we", I got to taste it too! Nice leh, sweetish! Hhmm... Even nicer when mixed with the mild nescafe they served, even Fasha could finish it off after mixing... (Ops! Not suppose to tell that! Shhh...)

During the meeting with the teacher, she gave these comments overall:

We can only know if she's happy when she smiles, because she doesn't say anything
She's OK overall but always need to be told to 'open her mouth'
She would sit at the back row in class, she's comfortable there when nobody sees her
She would dance and do all the movement, but she wouldn't sing at all during Music class
She tolerates very well, never fight for toys etc, very kind and care towards others
She could write, draw and colour better now
She's famous among friends and 'cool', maybe because her mother is 'cool'.

In other words, Fasha is totally different than she is at home - yappity yap the whole time, singing all songs ever so loudly - but she always asks me to buy sweets and snack food for her friends in school. Hhmm....

Here are some captured moments of Fasha during the Parents' Day today:

Wearing her favourite "Princess Snow White" top and "Property of Princess" pants, singing so loudly in the car on the way to CEC. She didn't know yet that we're going there. Sshhh...

Still wondering where we're going... but that didn't stop her from singing merrily.

Arrived CEC - they were having a talk on the new Danone Dumex milk. The crowd was good. Fasha's friends were among the crowd.

My shy 16kg baby... so clingy and near to the lens that I could hardly capture any photo properly.

Another angle of Fasha and her almost-straight hair...

Almost time to go back now...

Impatient to go off from the premis, didn't even say bye to any of her friends and teachers! At least in this picture, the Snow White is obviously portrayed. Did I tell you she chose the Snow White herself instead of Sleeping Beauty (my favourite)? Looks like Snow White matches her (and Sleeping Beauty suits me hahaha!!).

Realised that I gave birth to a wonderful child...,

Favourite 'bum'

2009-04-22T18:04:00.001-07:00

Normal scene in the car, after picking her up from daycare. She's very happy seeing me every time when I pick her up, that she would be in a hurry to get herself and her bag out of the daycare premise.

Unless I pick her up during her playtime around 6pm-6:30pm, then it would be me sneaking around playing with other cute babies before she noticed that I was already in the premise!

Miss having her small and cuddly in my arms again...,

Welcome to Fasha's new blog!

2009-03-31T18:34:00.001-07:00

Dear All,

Thank you for being loyal to Fasha's site of stories. And welcome to our new little world of little wonders...

Keep yourself in tuned with this blog site, and we'll try our best to keep you updated with the stories from the sweet life out of the cocoon.

For those who are not familiar with the name, Farisha is a Persian name that means "butterfly". It may sound like an inappropriate name according to some culture, but to MommieSha, the meaning goes much deeper.

"Butterfly" signifies a new life out of cocoon, a new hope in life and challenges ahead, a new sense of pride and confidence to live the path of life laid down for us to go through, and good bye to all miseries that are now behind us with the born of this little butterfly called Farisha in our little family - MommieSha and Fasha.

God bless us all...,
MommieSha
