I'm hungry..what's for dinner??

Didn't have lunch today... so by 5pm, my tummy started grumbling... After azd had his quick nap, we went out to our usual favourite place to dine, The Taste of Thai (TOT). Just about 5 minutes drive from our house. How very convenient to live in Bankstown. Halal food is easy to find, and since there's a Vietnamese town here fresh veges (asian vege) are abundant! Seronok i!!Ok back to our dinner story. So we parked right in front of TOT. Table no.1 is our usual spot but somebody was seating there so we sat some where else. Waiter dia pun dah kenal dah agaknya muka 3 ketul ni, tersengih2 tgk Aiman. We ordered steamed rice with Tom Yum mixed seafood, sizzling beef and Hoy Jor (tatau apa benda ni tp sedaaaap sgt). When the food arrived, Aiman started his temper tantrum. Like always, he didnt want to stay put (u cant expect an almost 2 yr old boy to have proper table manners, can u??). Nasib baik la minah waitress sorang ni dtg amik Aiman, pujuk dia dgn ais-krim. Elok duduk diam pulak budak kecik ni. So he got himself a choc ice-cream. But the rich and luscious choc ice-cream couldnt stop Aiman that very long. Dia start balik mengganas..hehehe. Kesian mama ngan babah terpaksa mkn laju2...
Lepas mkn, off we went to Centro Bankstown. Azd wanted to find some Wii's accessories. Maklum le, skrg tgh Australian Open... teruja la nak main game tennis... hehehehe. Didnt stay long at Centro sebab mcm biasa Aiman tak moh dok diam. Dia nak lepas sebenarnya, tak mau duduk dlm stroller. Mana blh tahan beb!!
So after we found what we were looking for, we went straight back home, rasmikan racquet tennis Wii.... lepak2 tgk Roger Federer main tennis (yeay see u and Nadal in the finals!). And now it's almost 1am...lapar la pulak.......

Muka kebosanan Aiman....















Hoy Jor yg sedaaaap...but this time lettuce dia bg sekeping je..ciiit!!

Cuci-cuci mata...

When is the heatwave going to end??? Panas sangat.... Nothing much you can do when it's hot. I noticed my temper shoots up really fast time2 tgh panas ni (oh really??? now i'm blaming the weather?). When the weather is hot, you cant help but to go out, catch some fresh air (fresh????) and of course cuci-cuci mata as well.
So there we were, driving to Wollongong (I did the driving coz AzD wanted to snap on some pictures). First stop to UoW, dropped Azd kat situ and then headed to the botanical garden. Gave Aiman his own sweet time to run here and there. He had his encounter with the ducks and swans, sea gulls and some other species of birds which all seemed look alike to me. hehehe....
Then Azd came along and off we went to Warrawong because he had to meet someone there. He dropped us at Westfield Warrawong. Spent the time window shopping and trying oh so hard to keep the coin operated toys from Aiman's sight but to no avail. Ye lah, pusing kiri ada menatang tu....lari ke kanan ada menatang tu jugak. Tension betul. So ended up by taking Aiman to play at the westfield's indoor playground. There were some other kids as well, tp Aiman yg kecik sekali.
After Azd had his work done, we went to the North Beach. Initial plan was to go and dip ourselves in the water but it was freaking hot. Tengahari buta..matahari dok tercacak. Confirm berbelang hitam kalu gi mandi gak. Nasib baik Aiman pulak tertido. Tak sampai hati nak kejutkan dia.
So we decided to head back home, but on the way, stopped @ Bald Hill Lookout, such a breathtaking view. Azd had his hands full taking more pics.......

Morning with Aiman....

Fuuuhh..... just finished presenting for the journal club this morning. Although it is our lab punya jc, dan yg dtg pun muka2 lab mate je but the pressure to stand in front of people and just talk is mounting high and exhausting. Tu tak kira kalau present kat mana2 conference...lagi laaa berdebar2 sampai sakit dada. Skrg ni pun tgh gabra sebab supervisor dah nak mai balik :(
Azd is doing his work at home (ye ke???) accompanied by yours truly si kecik aiman. it's very hard to do your work at home because aiman tends to distract you and demands your full attention. Dia nak ada org dekat2 dgn dia. kalau tak, asyik dok ikut la punggung mama babah dia. Tak tahan laaa kalau dia meraung menangis if he doesnt get what he wants. Tapi tu la, dia kecik lagi... biasa la at this age and stage byk karenahnya. kena banyak sabar dan sabar dan sabar dan sabar.....Alahai anak ku aiman, betapa dikau menguji kesabaran ku.....huhuhuhu.
Skrg ni makin banyak vocab aiman. Dia suka sangat kalau baca buku sama2 dgn dia. And he knows quite a number of animals dah and the sounds that they make... yg latest, kalau tanya dia pig (haha mcm tadak binatang lain daaa) bunyi mcmana dia pun jwb "oin oin".
And he calls himself "maman"..hahaha how sweet.

So this is a typical morning kalau dok kat umah ngan Aiman. If he gets up first, sgt la dengki kalau tgk mama ngan babah dia still asleep. Maka dia akan korek hidung la, pukul muka la sambil dok ngomel2 apa ntah. Bila dah bgn, he'll point to his eye and says "pek..pek" (suh mama dia pakai spek) and ajak "uaaa" (keluar from the room). Then he'll start playing with his toys and skrg he really likes playing with his train "omas"(Thomas and friends). Breakfast with Aiman takes a looong time (rasanya be it having a breakfast or lunch or dinner, memang berkurun nk tunggu dia abis makan sebab dia suka main2). He doesnt really fancy eating breads. Tapi kalau bg dia "eh" (egg) ngan kicap jalan aje. Sebab skrg dah pandai mintak, kdg2 pepagi dah nak makan "akin" (ice cream). So skrg ni ptg2 je sometimes bg aiman "nyam nyam akin".









Aiman tgh mkn "akin" dgn bestnya...


Lately sebab panas agaknya, asal nampak babah dia masuk bathroom nak mandi lajuuuu je ikut sebab dia nak "tim tim" (swim2). But before that dia akan tarik2 baju ngan seluar sambil kata "open" or "kukak".. suh bukak baju dia sebab nak gi "tim tim". Bila dah masuk, he'll ask for his "qua qua" (rubber ducky), "bo" (boat) and "piii" (toy fish).
Budak ni kdg2 senang nak gosok gigi dia, kdg2 susah giler. Tp sejak dah beli berus gigi baru which he calls it "poooo" (sebab ada gbr Winnie the Pooh), nak jugak la dia gosok gigi. Tapi berangan, nak pakai toothpaste org tua. Pastu dok "hot hot" sebab rasa berangin. kui3x....






Aiman tgh brush teeth sampai berpeluh-peluh...(tp mm kata tu bukannya peluh la...tu air liur aiman meleleh-leleh)

Nanti time mandi2 tu Aiman sukaaaaa sgt nyanyi2..agak2 blh la masukkan dia kat Australia Got Talent nanti.. hahahaha. Bila dah siap mandi, Aiman pun pakai "pipi" (nappy) and mintak "aju" (baju) & "uar" (seluar). Kdg2 kalau dia rasa nak nampak lagi smart, he'll ask for his "tok" (socks). Utk lebih bergaya dan kacak lagi, dia will point to his hair and say "kon" (mintak comb la tu nak sikat rambut dia). Ala aiman ni kalu sikat rambut pun tak jadi ape laa.... confirm tercacak balik!! Still standing??? Yesss... still standing!!
Lepas penat bergaya, dia pun mintak la nak "tutu" (susu). Sambil dok buat "tutu" kat dia, Aiman pun bz tolong kira berapa scoop dah tuang...."wan...tuuu...teee... eben...ten" (1,2,3,7,10).
Oh and not forgetting Aiman's best friend, nama dia "tin tin". Biasanya lepas minum "tutu" Aiman cari bestfriend dia. Aiman ni ada byk best friend. Ada kaler biru, hijau, putih, purple...tp lepas satu2 jd penyek & hilang . Tapi patah tumbuh hilang berganti tauuuu.... skrg ni "tin tin" aiman kaler purple.... and of course dah penyek dah (tu yg sedap kot)... as a backup plan, harus ada spare best friend dia ni sebab kalau Aiman tak jumpa best friend dia sibuk la dok cari "tin tin ane??.. tin tin ane???". So who or what is this "tin tin"... jeng jeng jeng: puting Aiman laa...Hmmm aiman.. aiman... bila nak stop bertin-tin ni????
Kdg2 kalau atas katil, Aiman "bum bum" minum "tutu" while playing with his "bibibear" (teddy bear). Sometimes Aiman shares his "tutu" with his "bibibear" (sambil tonyoh2 botol susu ke mulut bibibear dia).. abih la masam bibibear aiman. Bila tangki sudah penuh, start la balik aksi2 tak-duduk-diam-walau-seminit aiman.......
Waaaahhh agak pjg entry kali ni....ok la will be continued later with other version of Aiman's vocab and updates.

A new and fresh looking blog of mine...

borak kosong

skrg kat umah sorang2, balik awal dari school. hajat dihati nak wat keje kat umah (boleh?? boleh??). sebab kalu dok kat lab, rasa mcm tension tgk org lain wat keje. last month masa tgh uni break 2 weeks, time bebudak tu tak gi lab, rasa lengang sket bila wat keje. sebab sorang2, takde sapa kat lab. ni school dah start balik...adeehhh. jiwa kembali kacau........
azd ngan aiman gi wollongong. rindunya kat aiman. call kak azreen tadi saja tanya aiman apa cer. dia kt aiman tak moh mkn...dia pun naik risau, nasib baik susu dia minum. so i told her la aiman skrg ni ikut mood, time makan, memang dia mkn. dtg mood dia 'nanak' makan, serve la apa2, nehi layan ok.... geram gak kengkadang. kita dok risau dia lapar ke apa ke..tp dia rilek je...active kemain.
*******ishh...bila nak start wat keje nih???********

anyway, time tgh ada selera nak hapdet blog ni, maka haruslah menghapdet mana yg patut. azd pong dok kata, rerajin la update blog tu, nanti bila dah balik mesia and bukak balik entry dolu2..at least ada la kenang-kenangan...can ah like det???
nak citer apa ek??? skrg ni tgh time summer kat sydney... panas giler... minah2 saleh dah start pakai bj tak cukup kain..muahahahaha... depa ni tak takut kot the risk of getting skin cancer walopon kat tv sokmo dok iklan pasal benda tu. kalu time hangat2 mcm ni, berduyun2 manusia gi sun bathing kat bondi beach tu. apa yg best pun tatau la...kat mesia org sibuk nak putihkan kulit, kat sini pulak org sibuk nak tanned kan kulit.
and bercakap pasal panas ni, i wonder if we should cut aiman's hair. dah panjang dah rambut si kecik tu. kesian gak kdg2 tgk dia dok menggaru kepala. ke patut tunggu bila balik mesia nanti?? yeayyy.... bulan 3 ni nak balik mesia!!! tp yg tak bestnya, balik kejap aje. only for 2 weeks. takpe la, at least dpt ticket free (huyeaahh!!). bulehs la gi kenduri bib. tp fenin gak dok pk mcmana nak bwk balik brg2 utk family ni. org kat mesia dah pesan, balik nanti tak yah bawak balik bj..huhahuhahuha.. ada unsur2 keperlian di situ...hehehehehe
********aiikk......tak start2 lagi keje???********

jeng3x... nak upload gbr kat sini.. but sadly semua gbr2 terbaru ada kat komputer azd. dia bwk gi school. so tak dapek la nak tepek gbr kat entry ni..
eh ok la...nak gi tgk facebook lak... hahahaha....
*******akan ku buat jua keje yg tertangguh itu********

2009....

It's day 7 of 2009.... how time really flies... another new year has begun. A new chapter...new hope.
People around the world celebrated new year with fireworks worth gazillion of dollars... singing and shouting and dancing..etc etc...happy faces..no worries..
But in one part of the world...Gaza City...innocent lives are simply worth nothing. Zero... Zilt... Nada... :(
Deadly Israeli raids killing hundred of Palestinian people. As the death toll surged, help and aid are no where to be seen (or unreachable).....not to mention the bias report from the media. WHAT IS ALL THIS CRAP????
We may not be able to help those in need directly but please do whatever we can ie donating etc....pray for our brothers and sisters...pray for the innocent children...
Ameeeen.....
