DoWn ThE MEmoRy LaNE..

Was rummaging thru my old phone's photos file, and found this cute cute photos of Fatini when she was only 1 year and a half.. This photo was taken at our home in Kuantan, we had lived there for only a year..

Masa ni x de pun nak pakai all pink.. hehe hijau pun bole.. ape aje yg mama pakaikan fatini suke je..

Ni kat rumah opah, kampung Gajah, adorable isn't she?

At our home in Kuantan..

Always always had a runny nose back then..

Ni plak, kat umah tok in Gombak.. huhuhu.. I miss mom's home sooo much!

Berhingus lagi...

Fatini and mama at East Coast Mall (name glamer ECM) kat Kuantan juga..

ooooohhh, ni gaya ape ni? dalam bas, ikut papa balik kmpung..

Ni, if i'm not mistaken, kat Awana Kijal, Terengganu.. ikut papa gi Conference.. sronok juga time tu salu ikut gi conference, dapat dok hotel best2 hehe..

Blajar2 minum susu botol, coz I just realized that I was pregnant with Aleena, so I had to stop her from breastfeeding.. kesian.. it was hard for her.. Afeef had my milk for more than 2 years, but she hadn't even made it for 2 years..

Look closely, masing2 pegang pusat.. sebab fatini ikut gaya Afeef yg suka gentel2 pusat masa minum susu botol hehe..

Mereka dulu... eh Afeef cam pompuan laa

Mereka kini... ok, dah macam lelaki..

Fatini kini, teringin nak jadi baby lagi kot heheh..

Aleena dulu..

Aleena kini..

This photo was taken @ airport kat Dubai, this was how we boarded the airplane from Dubai to Frankfurt Germany.. Had a great one night stay at Dubai's Airport Hotel.. Serious the best hotel I've ever stayed in, siap provide baby court utk Aleena lagi.. Tapi rugi, x sempat jalan2 pun kat Dubai..

First day menjejakkan kaki di bumi German.. ceh wah.. Last winter, dalam train dgn anak2 yg muntah2 teruk.. x sabar nak sampai ke destinasi, tp sempat jugak brgambar.. sebab jakun la kata.. hahaha

This is what I called, 'Mummy-daughter Moment'...

My world, My life, my journey...

10 THinGs I DoNt HaTe BoUt U...

Other than the weather which I truly hate, there are lots of other far better things here in Germany... for instance;

1---> I don't have to worry bout stray cats, no more stray cats on my doorstep which means no more buying cat food, no more unbearable odor from their waste...

2---> No stray dogs, and I can go for a walk or jog anywhere I like without worrying bout them ;)

3---> I can go out alone without worrying bout snatch theft.

4---> No daily bathing required wahahaha!! The kids bath only once a week! This saves my time!

5---> I only cook once in one day, everyone is just so used to eating other foods like the bread which are found excessively in the Market and also cereals too.. They have a huge range of cereals here available in the market.

6---> Foodstuffs are extremely cheap here, we can buy a cup of yogurt with only a few cents, and usually a trolley full of foodstuffs cost no more than 50euro.

7---> The people are so nice here, they are highly civilized, once I was standing by the roadside, and a huge Garbage pick up truck passed by and it came to a halt as soon as the driver noticed several people were waiting by the roadside to get across. The driver was an old and friendly looking guy. I stared at him admiringly for his kindness and sensing that someone was looking at him, he turned my way, saw me and raised his hand with the most sincere smile I've ever seen in my whole life! This is no exaggeration, this was how I really felt at the moment. I doubt this will ever happen in Malaysia. It's a lorry driver i'm talking bout here! I bet those from Malaysia knew what kind of a lorry driver we have there in Malaysia. The point I'm trying to highlight here is that they are nice people to everyone regardless of your religion, wealth and etc etc..

8---> The other thing which I enjoyed so much here is being with my friends in Deutsch class. They remind me of those friends I used to have in Sunway college.. nice and true frens, We helped each other without expecting anything in return. Unfortunately, I've lost contact with most of them.. Anyway, I feel like I'm given the 2nd chance here to have that kind of friendship again, they are not only friends to hang out with but also whom I can get a bit personal with..

9---> Above all else, life is so at ease here..

10---> But, no matter how at ease life is here, arguments are bound to ensue between me and my little Fatini of course.. *sigh** kecik2 lagi dah suka argue2 ngan mama.. nak pakai seksi la time sejuk2 nih, nak main hairdryer la, nak main air kat toilet la, nak beli barbie baru la wlupun barbie dah ade 6 ketul x cukup2, etc etc... macam2 laaa..

One Of The Worst Winter in 2o years..

They said so, but is it so? But the sight of the whole tree covered in snow gave me an eerie feeling.. hehe dun know why, I felt goosebumps whenever I look at them.. This was taken several days ago, snow had fallen heavily then, in the morning I was so shocked to find everything was sooo white! Check them out..

Obviously, this Year's winter is worst than the last one.. Last year I didn't see anything like this..

Ok, lets move on to the kids... ok, ni muka first time makan oren hehe.. She eats everything, I must say she has an incredible appetite.. Sometimes, when afeef and fatini were munching on crackers, she would just stare at them admiringly asking for some probably.. but as usual, they just ignored her.. so eventually, after a failed attempt to snatch the crackers, she would settled for the scattered crumbs on the carpet and floor.. she would hold each crumb with the tip of her forefinger and thumb and put it in her mouth.. hehehe cute but pitiful.. hehehe

Ok, mama x biarkan ok, tengok kejap pastu gelak2 sbb comel, and pastu angkat la die, and of course mama vacum carpet pastu.. tp kdg2 x sempat vakum tengok2 dah bersih hehe..

mmmmm... sedap kan oren tuh..

Ok, I must include her photo ok, as she was always busy bodying wenever I tried to do some photo shoot for Aleena. Ini gaya ape pun x tau la...

Yang pasti nya, ini gaya gedik.. hehe

Fatini and Princess..

This has become an everyday ROUTINE... Fatini wuld come to me with a piece of paper and a pencil and asked me to draw a Princess for her.. So, this is wat I'd draw for her every day, the same looking Princess, and it's fine with her as long as it has long hair, long dress, an earing and a necklace. But last weekend, I was busy doing something, so she asked Papa to draw for her instead...

And it ended up like this, hehe... she showed me the drawing with unsatisfied look on her face..

"Fatini suh papa draw kan Pincess, Buruk!" hahaha... jangan marah ye papa..

Afeef when bout Fatini's age, also asked me to draw for him, not a princess of course, but Ultraman. But he never was particular, he didn't mind even if I drew 'orang lidi' as an Ultraman... he wuld be satisfied enough. This shows the level difference of artistry between them..

Afeef's WoRks Of ArT...

Ni beberapa hasil kerja Afeef di kindergarten... This 1st one is a crown, he made this crown on his Birthday with the help of the teacher. This lil girl in the photo is just a model hehehe...

By the way, topi pink kat dlm crown tu aleena punye ok.. dah jadi hak milik fatini.. hari tu beli purple utk aleena, die kate die punye, mama cakap x pe la, trsilap saiz pun, trbeli besar, jadi fatini punye la. then mama kata kat die, nnt mama beli yg pink utk aleena, fatini x bole ambik ye sbb fatini dah ambik yg purple... die kate "ok, fatini x nak pun pink, fatini suke purple jeeee..." so mama pun beli pink pulak, yg saiz kecik mmg saiz utk aleena, die nak jugak yg tuh. rupe2 nye mama tertipu ngan Fatini huhu.. sendat2 pun pakai jugak.. so aleena trpaksa la pakai yg purple tuh.. so aleena yg kecik pakai topi and sarung tangan besar, fatini yg besar pakai topi and sarung tangan yg sendat..

Ini buat masa Halloween rasenye, ade side yg tulis mama jugak!! papa yg ambik gmba ni so ade sket biased di sini..

This is the latest one, gmba ni ambik kat kindergarten Afeef, just gmba org je, but afeef dah bole tulis name sendiri!

Ni maksudnye: Saya Afeef, umur saya 6 tahun!

Kad jemputan utk parents, tp afeef yg wat sendiri decorationnye.. tp of coz lah with the help of the teacher! :)
