Ode to My Eldest Sister - Happy Birthday

A sister, a friend, a confidante...

Advices, giggles, gossips....

Nags, consoles, scolds...

Cheers, tears, mood swings and all....

That makes my eldest sister, so human, so special

and I wouldn't want to change her for anything else on earth!

MANY HAPPY RETURNS, BU!!

may all your wishes come true, soon.

The Big Bro's Progress Test Week

It’s progress test week, again….. Haakem is a bit under the weather. Coughing and sneezing. He did a bit of revision for the past few days. I hope he’ll do well. I haven’t been able to coach his studying for the past 2 months, so I will not blame him if his marks are not excellent. He is trying his best, I know…. And being a big brother (aka Abang) is no easy task too after 7 years of being an only child. Abang has also been diligently following the Transliteration Class (Kelas tafsir Al-Quran) at the Marinara Club every Sunday morning with my uncle and aunty and his Atok (my aunt who's living with us).

Another Month To Go For the Big ONE!!

My little princess turned 11 month’ old last Saturday and I woke her up for a morning photo session. She flinched at the camera flash in the beginning but all grins later when I brought her to her Abang's bed. The verdict…. Sweet as always….. only sweeter……
She’s very talkative these days but of course nobody knows what she’s blabbering about. She’s started eating rice, blended with fish/meat and veggies. Thanks to those 7 little teeth... So, I shall stop stocking jar food for her…. Saving the budget for something else…. Books of course and when her hair is longer… accessories!!!
My husband and I think that Millie will outsmart her brother anytime, her developments have been well passing Abang except perhaps for walking, Abang started walking unsupported at the age of 11 months, we don’t see Millie doing it within this few weeks but she’s so full of surprises… who knows? She's started taking her hands off the couch when doing her dances, much to the screams of my aunt!! A speed crawler, Millie is too!
