Our Short Vacation

Well.. Since myself never been to anywhere since I have Diya with me, so this one day I think why not I just take few days to myself and Diya and stay at the nearest hotel.. I dont need to go far lah to have the same ‘holiday’ feeling, plus I have always LOVE the city. So I took the smallest package they have here 3 days and 2 nights and pack our things for a short day mini vacation in the city. This place is cool.. I LOVE the city view from my room, room service is not that bad although I wonder how come front desk officers doesn't have perfect English like I always assume they would be. Well.. Im willing to close one eye lah bout that as long as they understands me and send all my needs here to the room!

Why I choose Eastin? Not like others who prefers beach view, green view etc.. Well, coz 1st of all it is not a plan, simply spontaneously to take a short time off for myself and Diya.. Spending time together.. I know Diya is always busy with her ‘my pad’ and myself stuck in front of my laptop all the time but this is just the way we spend our time together, we sit side by side with our preferred gadgets, watch/write/play them together.. Nothing wrong with that. I know, its not normal like how others spend quality time together but yes this is our own way.. Another reason why I like city hotels coz I just LOVE the city view, near to the malls, easy to find food and get anything we need, internet all the way for all of us and many more.. So I am not so green/beach kinda person.. Its OK.. Once in a while, cool jugak lah kalau nak bercuti kat pantai sana sini tapi still I think places with theme park, animal park which kiddies would definitely love suits me and my family more. What is the point kalau we all cuti but im not happy takder internet access, diya gets grumpy cant watch her favourites kan??? Different people has different ways of doing things I guess.. And maybe Diya is still too young to understand appreciating nature yet..

I brought Diya to the pool just now, not so big as I thought it would be, but nice and comfy enough.. Surprisingly diya prefers the bath tub than the pool! Sighhss... So next time I know lah to get a room with nice bathroom and maybe with a view from the bathroom heheheh... Room service is sooooo cool... I wish to have room service at home boleh tak?? Hahhaha... Menu looks so sedap! With just a call and wallah!! makanan pun sampai.. TV channels not bad, lama betul tak tgk hotel TV channels.. I can still remember when I was small I used to follow my mom whenever she has outstation job and would enjoy staying and dining in hotels. I love the video arcade they normally provide, but best of all I just cant wait to go back in the room and watch TV! Maybe masa tu belom ader astro and all kan so only kat hotel boleh watch international movies. Like my generation, You-Tube! Diya watches everything there.. That is why internet access is superbly important to us. Eh speaking bout internet access, pelik lah one room can onli register only ONE device for wifi! So I have to use my black berry to communicate with my world or teethring to my laptop for internet access.. But I think its ok, I can always write on my blank note pad, later copy paste jer and post dalam blog.

Talking bout my writing kan, I saw the latest mac air at starbucks yesterday, a guy was using it and Im soooo tempted to get one for myself, very thin, light, style and perfect for me to mobile and write anywhere I want.. Diya kedekut ‘mypad’ dia lah! Oh sue, pleaseeeee focus on your vacation heheheh..

Ok lah guys... Will write more in a separate post.. Kang boring pulak baca satu posting pajang lebar..

A Little Change In Myself?

 

 picture is from source of Google.

I was watching Sammy Adventure with Diya tadi and now watching Meat Balls pulak.. kat luar tu hujan sangat lebat and kilat sambung-menyambung and so I had to off my new internet router tuh. Kang rosak lagi susah pulak nak kena beli lain huuhhu… these few days I have been having problems with my internet reception and after few times of TM technician came to fix and finally the internet is back. Got myself a new router although I wasn’t sure the old one is broken or not hehe.. too malas to pening kepala I just beli yg baru lah.

Lately I feel sad a lot, looking at myself so ‘Ah so’ lah, smell kitchen all the time at home.. I once wrote about this same issue in my previous entry but still I write again here as a light reminder to myself to always be who I am.. dulu the ‘ah so’ issue was due to me being pregnant, lepas bersalin jadi fulltime mom pulak and I cook all the time at home. But this time lain sikit. My ‘ah so’ look is due to me recovering from my chemo treatment and also radiation. Another is I think the hormone pill is making me malas to groom too! My hair is growing but sgt kerinting I think my head looks like a broccoli! i am still big in size sometimes I loose a kg or two but some other time I gain the kgs again hhuhuhuhu..

So.. today I am wearing a short dress at home, comb my hair and use hair gel so my hair wont get too ‘bushy’, put on nice body cream. I’ll put on light makeup when I go out, wear nice tops n shoes everytime I go send Diya to school.. just to boost up my confidence.

What More Do I want In Life?

What else can I ask for in my life?

I just celebrated my 31th birthday few days back with friends and family, had cakes, pastas, salad and all SEDAP drinks oh.. And even caramel pudding! Loads of laughter, good health, surrounded by love ones, good gifts etc… Alhamdulillah…

On the very same day last year I celebrated at home with a small cake surrounded by my small family during my chemo session, I had no hair, weak most of the time, gained weight as if I’m 7 months pregnant, pale skin, black nails etc.. Yet still I am around.. I remember on that that day I wished ONLY for my health. I just want to get better and start everything all over again. I was very scared that I wont be around to celebrate my daughter’s birthday anymore or be around her while she’s growing up. Alhamdulillah, God granted my wish..

This year I still wish for the same; good health and for me to be around and raise my daughter up. I am happier now and recovering from all the treatment I went through last year, taking small steps each day. A day after I went for my routine medical checkup and doc said I am in a TIP TOP condition and will be ok for many many long years lagi, Insyaallah.

For a treat to myself I got me a good book by my favorite and only author I have ever read Second Chance by Jane Green! Despite this I still wish for a White Blackberry Torch to be mine this year hehehehe…

Diya And Her New Friend Tischa!

Diya has a new friend name Tischa! Macam maner Diya boleh kenal ngan tischa? Well.. They used to go to the same playgroup (Alimkids Taman Tun Dr Ismail) and from there us moms got to know each other. Since we both are fulltime mom with a small home business we then decided to meet more often and let out kids play together.. Ever since; these two little girls are inseparable. They play and eat together all the time. We mommies sometimes buy them the same clothes and toys too so they wont fight for the things they each have. While the kids play, we mommies talk more and got to know each other better.

During weekends we would bring the kids to swim or simply have ice cream at McDonalds and wait for them to finish playing at the playland.. Diya and Tischa LOVE to play together.. yes they fight sometimes but only for a while, they later good to play again.. Diya and Tischa now goes to school together although Tischa is already on a higher level but they still sit in the same class. We treat them like both our own daughters.. Alhamdulillah diya has a lovely friend to play and grow up with…

Diya At School

Diya ohhhh Diya... She finally started schooling! I should have written about this long time ago when she had her 1st day there... Some how I was so busy with the things to do for Diya to and totally forgotten to write, well most of the time I was more on delaying to write this blog.

During Diya's time at school, I will take this opportunity to lepaks and chill with myself or friends at the nearest cafes'... It is not so difficult to find one as her school is in the middle of a mall and starbucks is just a few steps away. We normally would chill at kopitiam or coffee shops and chat till it is time to pickup our kids from school. Cool ha? Not bad lah for a full-time mom like me. At least I get to have some time off from my kid and do all the stuff i have been wanting to do when shes at school hehe.. Sometimes I'll do light groceries shopping, or some other time I will just hang out at the cafes with my laptop and do my unfinished/delayed work. Neways, enough bout me.. Back to story bout Diya going to school heheheh...

On her 1st day of school she didn't cry at all. And of cause lah she has her friend Tischa with her there.. (will write bout Tischa in a Different entry yah) blur sikit lah in the morning and she refused to wear the new clothes I got for school. I made her egg sandwich and some cookies cereal, also Ribena drink in her cute Minnie Mouse lunch box set! I got her a matching Minnie mouse school bag too heheheh... Siapa lah yang tak excited bila anak dia nak pergi hari pertama sekolah kan??? I think I was too excited kot? Sighss.. I got her a set of purple top and jeans with a cool purple sleeveless jacket just in case she gets cold in the morning at school. But like I said, she just refuse to wear her new clothes early morning huuhuhuhu... It is okay, still hoping one day she would want to wear the jacket though.

I left her at school around 9.30am and suppose to fetch her back at 12 pm. Once I left all the scary thoughts came to mind.. She would cry and i would cry too! Thanx to Tisha's mom Misa who kept me company for the day and even the whole week! When I picked her up I expected she would her lungs out but instead and to my surprise she did not. Happily greet me with a huge smile, and keep saying 'Mumy I miss you'!!! So cute! The moment we all got into the car the kids started singing! I was shocked and overwhelmed to see Diya's improvement n just one day! Her 1st song was 'Watermelon' song. The melody is like 'Are You Sleeping Brother John' song. So cute when they sing!!! Since day one she went to school she learn to sing so much. Many and many songs she can sing now..

I think she is a much happier kid now. With her new school routine she gets better and improve a lot in most of her skill. Although she still haven’t spoken properly like she should at her age but I can see her improving and I finally can stop worrying now.

Alhamdulillah.
