Baby Photos 5

Apa lah saya seorang nenna jika tak share gambar cucu2 saya.. (dan kemudian saya ketawa besar selepas menaip ayat ini!)

Ini gambar Sara masa naik kereta dan terkena aircond. Langsung tertidur lepas nih.

We decided to give Umar a bath - sukanye dia mandi! (tapi atuk dan nenna dia lagi suka rasanya)

Sara tidur lena sampai penyet hidung.

A different angle of Umar's baby-ish comei looks.

Umar experiencing an up-side-down novelty play.

At times, Sara has the most prominent brows. Pakcik2 dia kata macam The Rock. Pulak.

Biar Sempurna Dalam Lindungan Allah

My adik is one of the most awesome persons I have ever known. Seriously.

He sent these photos when he was home in Ramadhan and went to tinjau2 and pick fruits at the kebun.

He is committed to his work, his family, his deen (there could be faults I am sure but none that I can see).

But most importantly he is most compassionate to mum. Mak saya sentiasa tenang bila dia ada di rumah.

(see how contented mum looked in this photo)

This post is for my mum actually; but then I guess to my adik too.

Thoughts of the Morning

Have a great weekend. What are your plans? I am baking today. Ada kawan minta buatkan lasagna for her daughter's engagement aka raya makan2. I am making for her some kuih bakar as well. So i've got a lot to do.

And tomorrow we are having a bbq makan2 at home.

Enjoy your weekend. Dan yang terbaik antara kita adalah yang paling bertaqwa.

Beautiful Pictures (and Stories)

I found these beautiful images from an MCMC broadband promo video. I do apologize for the quality of the pictures, but they are too good not to share.

 These are from a kapok industry. Teringat masa kecik mak suruh kait dan kutip kekabu untuk bantal.

And these from a seaweed farmer in Sabah. (Reminds me of kawan2 Ilyas yang mencebur dalam industri ni di Sandakan / Semporna but came back home after a couple of years. The locals sometimes ambushed their crops. But I do admire their courage and persistence).

I wish I could share the videos with you but they are posted on the company's internal website. Cerita dari hidup susah until they become successful entrepreneurs.

Baby Photos Part 4 - Beraya

I seriously wish we have better raya photos; especially as this is our first raya with the babies.

Sara dan baju rayanya - gaya bajjet. Orang kata dia kecik; in fact baju tu yang besar sebenarnye (tapi sebab mak dia nak pakaikan jugak baju tu untuk raya kan..It was a present actually)

 Ini sebenarnye gambar Umar dan baju Melayu hijau nye. It was made with soft cotton and looked so comfy. It was raining - at least there were tiny drops of water falling from the sky - and baju Umar pun tak nampak.

So as a compensation I had to put this gambar of Umar. He was Superman for the day and balik kampung asyik sangap aja. Kata Umi, dia letih sebab kena pergi save ramai orang hari tu.. (I love his six pack and in fact, if I may say so, I havent seen a more dashing Superman than him!)

Ayah Chu and the babies. Do not think his rambut is serabai sebab kena babysit the nephew and niece. Nope. His hair is always like that (although he does the babysitting occasionally). Baju Umar tu nenna yang belikan. Terkecik sebenarnye but I had thrown the receipt away ke mana entah dah. Zuf in fact went back to the store to get the same shirt but in a bigger size. Lesson learnt : keep the receipt and make sure the babies try the baju immediately after purchase.

A raya selfie - Sara pun nak senyum sama (mata pun dah tak nampak. And now I know whose eyes she has got, tengoklah mata mak dia).. turned out that we chose outfits in the same shade.

Do excuse the size of the gambar - I am actually testing out a new layout.

Samping Tips - Did You Know?

I didnt know this actually until now.

Sempena bulan raya ni elok jugak kita belajar pasal nih..

I always thought it is 'sampin' - terlupa pulak di utara we always drop the g at the end of the word; eg kunin bukan kuning; dan penin bukannya pening.. J

And maybe you want to make sure your man is wearing his samping right (and be aware if he is purposely not wearing it right!) JJJ

ps - Adakah anda masih kelam-kabut beraya?
