SiLLy Me...

I was a fool to believe that smthing went wrong with the FB system, when I culdn't find one of my fren in the frens list anymo. Puzzled, i started searching for her name again, and was dumbfounded to find "Add as friend" button on her profile. The 1st thing that came to my head was "Oh no! Wat went wrong? Smthing must av gone wrong wif the system, wat if she finds out and think that i av removed her from my frens list?? i didn't want her to get the wrong idea..." So foolishly, i "add" her again as fren, and a few days later i received a notification saying that she had accepted my fren's request. She didn't say anything bout it, nether did i so i assumed both of us understood that smthing must av gone wrong with the system..

But to my surprise, a few weeks later I discovered that she's no longer in my hubby's frens list too. I was so shock, coz finally it hit me. She'd actually removed both of us from her frens list!! Why'd she do that??!! She's super nice to both of us! Or was it all just an act??!! What she had against us?? Have we done anything wrong? Those were questions that kept bugging me... I had no idea at all, not even the slightest that she had removed me from the list, if i had then i wuldn't av added her again as fren.. what could she probably thinking, " x malu, org dah removed, die add balik.."

I'm hurt and wounded coz to me she's more than just a fren, she's like a sister to both of us. This incident was a few months back and I'm still contemplating wther to keep her in my frens list or not.. obviously she didn't want me in her list! **sigh**

Life's like that huh...

FaTiNi & ChOcoLaTe..

always stuck in a situation like this: Fatini is not suppose to have chocolate in her diet.. it wuld makes her stools hard and difficult to pass. i tried to minimize chocolate in her diet and encourage more drinking. but sometimes i was helpless.. she's hungry at the same time i had to breastfeed aleena, so i wuld ask her to wait a while before i culd get her meal for her, but she couldn't wait and settled for a supposedly (one je) chocolate wyle i was feeding aleena. but once aleena's done, she'd already finished a few bars of chocolate. ***sigh***

Deutsch, deutsch, deutsch... sigh..

Ok, now that i've been learning Deutsch for 2 months, I finally have the confidence to go anywhere, any shops alone except clinic. i still need my hubby for this, coz he speaks much better and understands better. Buying stuffs need not communication and conversation. Nevertheless, i did apply a few things that i've learnt! a few times when the DHL guy or woman came over to deliver stuffs, and some of them were just super nice trying to create a conversation, and I would ask,

"Sprichst du English?" (that means do u speak english?)

and then the usual answer would be

"Nein, nicht English" (no English).. and then the usual attitude of the German people, they would carry on talking in Deutsch even though it was pretty obvious that i did not understand what they were saying haha! so what i did most of the times, i would say,

"Tut mir leid, ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch" (i'm sorry, i speak very little Deutsch)..

There was once, when i was in the supermarket, only me, fatini and aleena, at that time I had only learnt numbers in Deutcsh up to 20. One old woman came to me with something in her hand, and she started talking in Deutsch and pointing at the price , i couldn't quite comprehend at first wat she's trying to say, but then i culd just simply predicted wat it was bout: she forgot her glasses and she couldn't see the price written there clearly, and she's old, and obviously her sight was not good, so she needed me to tell her the price! so I asked her,

"das preis...??" she nodded, and I saw it's written "80cent" but oh me gosh! how do i say it in Deutsch!!?? damn it!

But thank goodness i've learnt some basics, so i said to her,

"Einen moment bitte.." (a moment please..) and i called my hubby hahahaha!!! just to ask him how do i say 80cent in Deutsch! Then I told her proudly hehehe

"achtzig cent".. she thanked me, perhaps not only for the favor but also for the effort and she was so sweet, she could just asked other Deutsche around instead of wasting her time waiting for me.. hehehe

Meanwhile, at home everyone is speaking Deutsch.. Afeef speaks the most... Fatini speaks only few.. the other day, I asked her

"Was macht du Fatini?" (what are u doing fatini)

she replied " Ich bin Fatini.." (I am Fatini) hehe

I asked again, "Mochtest du eine banane?" (do want a banana?)

she replied "Ich bin Fatini.." (I am Fatini) hehe

I asked "was hast du gesagt Fatini?" (what did u say?)

A moment of silence... "Ich habe keine ahnung..." (that means, I have no idea) hahahaha!

ok, that's the only two sentences she knew other than "tut mir leid (i'm sorry) and Entschuldigung (excuse me).. which she learnt from cartoon.. hehehe. she even made her own song, check this out..

Why BoTheR AskiNg..

Today as i was busy with the house chorus, Fatini came to me with 4 different colors of balloons, pink, blue, orange and purple and asked me to chose which one i want. ok, so i knew pink was her color, but since she asked for me to chose, i said "pink".

"pink x bole, fatini punye.."

"ok... klu camtu mama nak blue la.."

"mmmm... blue pun x bole, blue untuk abg afeef.."

oooookaaayyy... ther's only two colors available.. orange and purple...

"kalau camtu mama nak oren laaa, oren bole?"

frowning she said, "tapi oren x bole jugak, oren aleena punye..."

"aiittt, sume balloon x bole nih, mana satu yg bole?"

"ok, purple bole.. purple untuk mama.."

why'd she even bother asking in the 1st place when she'd actually decided that purple was for momma!! aiiiyyoo..

Afeef's 6th BiRtHDay...

6th of November 2010, was afeef's first birthday here in Germany away from Malaysia, away from his beloved Tok, Tok Wan, Aunty Tie, Uncle Mie, Aunty Alia, Acu, Aishah, Sarah, Mak uda and Mak su, these were people who were always present on his birthday party in the past years. They're all so far away now, but always2 close at heart..

We didn't celebrate it on Saturday, coz we had to go somewhere, so the party was held on Sunday 7th of November. For the 1st time, I prepared everything myself, no more Secret Recipe's cake, no more barbecue..

oooooo, i hardly had enough time coz i had to bake two cakes, one for Afeef and one for Fatini.. she asked for a Princess cake, and I planned to make one for her, but princess cake requires lots of batter and that means the cake would be huge and not many people would come, so who'd finish the cake? so, i changed my mind, and settled for a pink 'heart shaped' cake.. the work was less of course.. check it out..

ok, Chocolate cake for Afeef, it didn't taste as nice as the one in Secret Recipe, but i made it myself which was something i never imagine i'd do in M'sia! Birthday was more meaningful when mummy baked the cake herself hehehe..

This is the pink 'Heart Shaped' cake for Fatini.. she's happy enough.. I told her that she'll have Princess cake next year, where we'll celebrate all three, Afeef, Fatini and Aleena, then we can invite more people over.. the more the merrier!

I don't know how much this kind of candles wuld cost in M'sia, but here only 1euro. and not just that, there were various kinds..

The whole idea was not only to make the Birthday Boy happy but the other children too.. We had goodie bag prepared for each children, they had a great time i think..

Fatini her usual self, maluuuuu je.. had no idea wat's got into my daughter lately heheh..

ok, so it's cake time! wher's fatini??!! maluu laa.. ok, so this is Hana, she had volunteer herself to replace Fatini as a birthday girl hahaha.. so sporting, cute, funny, cheeky and i'm certain people wuld mistakenly thought that she's Afeef's sister.. hehe

I think she's got more enthusiasms for the cake rather than the Birthday boy himself.. hehehe..

Afeef with one of his present, this one was from us, a microscope.. bole nmpak la spesimen hehehe.. sorry afeef, lego atlantis has not yet arrived.. that's wat he asked from us for a birthday gift, but it's too expensive, so his aunty from m'sia bought it for him.. the price was cheaper there.. so the only other thing he really wanted was a microscope, which was far more affordable..

Cool isn't it?

I don't have to explain further who's this present for? i'm sure everybody knows... hehehe

She loved it!

Ok, this one is from Aunty Shirley and her hubby, wow! papa spent about two hours putting everything together, it turned out to be something cool very unique and special and lovely too.. Afeef loved it!

This is a gift from a German friend, the kids call him Uncle Erwin. He couldn't make it to Afeef's birthday coz he had to work, but he came on Saturday with the gifts and lots of candies, we weren't home, so he left everything at our doorstep anonymously.. we were surprised to find the beautifully wrapped gifts and candies when we reached home! He's a very nice person, he invited us over to his house last christmas, and gave the kids lots of candies and presents.. too bad he couldn't make it to Afeef's birthday..

Does it look like in the picture above? nope, couldn't put everything together, not just yet, too many small parts, aleena would quietly put one of them in her mouth..

This one is Afeef's favorite too. From Aunty Azie and Family..

Fatini borrowed it for a wyle when afeef didn't notice... i asked her "ape robot ni buat?"

"die buat gymnastic la.."

hehehe.. girls will be girls okk..

This one's for fatini from uncle Erwin..

ok, this is Fatini's favorite present la.. pink Disney's Princesses bag pack.. lovely.. a gift from aunty azie and family.. she loved it too much.. bangun2 tido je, blom gosok gigi blom ape, terus nak pakai bag pack hehe..

Overall the party was great, the kids had so much fun even though my chicken chop turned out bad!! hahaha.. I often failed to maintain a good taste of food when i had to cook in huge amount.. sorry to all guests!!
