by leaps and bounds

boy oh boy, it's year end eve already! October 2011, bidding farewell eagerly. what have i made coming up this far? not much. pretty not much obviously. the resolution made at the very beginning of the year seems too far still. sombre. 

Somehow, this little boy has indeed developed through out the year. By leaps and bounds. I sometimes cry my heart out seeing him becoming a little boy. that i no longer get to address him as a tiny-winny baby like i did. he's all grown up, learning, and changing at astonishing facets. he wakes up in the morning with a huge grin compelling to himself and says "morning amie".. and myself went all emo on that particular 2 words, shedding tears. I seem to find it hard handling emotions especially pertaining to him. Is it what people said 'motherly instinct'? He has now making abilities on constructing simple sentences. For example;

Situation 1: he was seeking for ayah to fix his car and came to me saying "amie, ayah ne?" i replied to him "ayah shower".. he nodded but in awe grimaces..on other circumstance, when he's done with 'business', he'll say "amie,adam yakk cukk..wash amie"

Situation 2: he endlessly point to a bus whenever he sees one. This time around, he'll say "amie, nak na-ik bus" *haha, mommy herself has loooooong ago did not ride on a bus*..likewise the train and aa-yo-pane.. "amie, nak na-ik aa-yo-pane"..

Situation 3: adam got this huge obsession for keys! The car keys respectively. He himself is able to identify which key is ayah's and which is mine. Even owan's & omak's (my mom) all in his mind. One fine morning, he look up to where we safe keep our car keys and notice owan's missing. And so, he came up to me, asking "amie, key owan ne?"..with an instance smile i said, go ask owan..and off he ran for owan asking the same. It happens all the time whenever someone's key dislocated from the place.

Situation 4: "amie, adam amuk (camuk)"..yes, such an honesty that forces mommy extra work-out of the day. every time he mess up his play area, he brave himself taking the plunge. not feeling guilty at all.

Situation 5 : On the dinner table, when he sees the table are all set and ready to be served, he'll go "ayah, akan (makan)..owan akan..cichik akan..annah akan" every one in the house will not be left out. He'll repeat effortless and will only satisfy upon presence.

And more of the list continues. He is making path to even more unexpected exuberance in the coming years and i find myself simply looking forward to every seconds of it. Adam, you never fail to make me burst out in tears, be it happiness at a painstaking point sometimes. :p

my second boyfriend, who now weighs 14kg :)

on some therapy

psst, i was doing some little therapy here.. and stumbled upon Club Mod and got my eyes painstakingly on this two:

very simple and i kinda fond for it! can i have both? No, I don't think so. Hubby'll go madness wild! Meaning, i have to make up a for one. which one, the question is? Dena dear, your pick would be? Let me know yah :)

I need to get my things done quick, so that i'm allowed to sneak out at 4pm today! Soon will be leaving for Alor Setar for another wedding! And another long haul journey to embark. North coast tow in a row!

Oh Penang!

Penang is a state in Malaysia and the name of its constituent island, located on the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia. 

I have not been to Penang for quite sometimes and, surprise surprise! Goodness Gracious! The scenery, the scents of food HEAVENLY especially their significant delight, char kuew teoy & Nasi Kandaq, and over the coastal, there were lines of hawkers striving to live near Gurney Drive there where MOSTLY they were all the Chinese. Speaking of development, i see a bunch of sky scrappers reaching out density high! As a matter of fact, there a number of it. Like Magnificent! Personally, not taking political issues into account, i envisioned Penang as a mini Singapore. The developing island to accommodate the needs.

welcoming from the island. 

Anyhow, i'm not giving a lecture on Penang. Cut the crap.

We were there for the weekend to witnessed the beautiful akad nikah ceremony of my uia's clan, Shuhada & Sairien held at Masjid Terapung Tanjung Bungah. Beautiful! Edat & Zana (sisterhood of the clan of course) were there too. And boy, whilst the bride were calm and smiling ear to ear, relieve and syukur that the ceremony went smooth sailing, extraordinarily them both were the one sobbing hard, held tissue in hand shedding of running tears. Drama Queen! Haha

And i sooo love her dress! Her gestures all accentuates the fact she's the Queen of the day. 

laughter shed for the union. Truly happy for the both of you.

hands together for the newlywed. during their dinner reception by the beach.*pix from their fb*

In between, we managed our time for their local delicacies. a MUST!

whenever you pay a visit to the island, it's a MUST to savor their significant localities, i.e : The Famous, non other than Nasi Kandar Line Clear! Two thumbs up!

On all, suffice to say we will surely come back to Penang for their glorious mouth watering food!

an apple a day hope to keep the doctors away

fast asleep with an apple in hand.. adam, when you turn 10 one day, mommy'll surely tease you over this! the half eaten was all by himself. he didn't even let me peel off the skin.

It is worth spending! the free breeze ambience, beautiful scenery, accommodation & amenities provided, all are captivating! It's Hubby's pick guys, so Yes, a pat on his back!

cafe

this a place where we dine in a few nights ago. i admired the concept and design they have in coming up with such a pleasant-homey-like place to dine. very simple and cozy ambience it has, and i find myself staring to almost everything  in the cafe. i love it. the little white cafe.

the deco.. captivating entrance there they had. and more? owned by a Malay. I am truly proud.

nah here is the blackboard where all the menu's written down.

the garments on the wall. pretty much inspiring if i may say.

macaron in the house.em,i rate B for this. tasted a good one indeed.

for concept wise, i rate A for an effort! Did not disappoint me on that particular one. 

BUT must i say, pretty pricey for the minimal portion they served and if not much, surely and highly can improve more on the taste-wise. Make it less bland. Anyhow, go try peeps!
