Picnic

Salam Monday blues..

Takda la, sejak 1-2 minggu kebelakangan nie, istilah blues2 takda pula. Mungkin sebab paksa diri untuk terus mulakan kerja full force. Biase engine tak berapa nak panas hari isnin, so slow la skit.. anyways, harap2 dah berubah la skit2 ye.. erm, semalam kitorang g picnic kt bolton abbey. seronok jgk la sbb weather ok jgk. takda la sesejuk seperti first time g.. mmg tak dapat dilupakan masa family day last year, mmg mcm nak nangis sbb anginnya, masyaAllah.. dengan kelengkapan baju tebal pun kurang.. terpaksa balik awal.. itu tahun lepas, tp thn nie weather nya intermittent, baju pun takda la tebal sangat sbb kejap2 panas, kejap2 sejuk.. cuma, regretfully sampai2 terus makan.. i think it would have been better if we walked around cause when we left, i realized the actual abbey was really beautiful! and that's just view from the roadside amide wall cracks and walkways. its definitely a place that i would like to come again just for a walk..
And, too bad we did not take much piccas.. Just a couple for rememberance..

Housekeeping again..

Hari nie kurang mood (read: takda mood la tu..) untuk buat kerja2 memikir dan membaca. Jadi untuk memanafaatkan masa, buat la housekeeping lagi. Kali ni, segala journal2 yang bercampur aduk sebab ikut kategori topic masing2. Maklum la, masa tulis report, time tu la baru nak refer. What I should have done ialah bila baca tu terus buat note la kan.. so back to square one. Jadi kena la susun balik, kalau tak jenus nak belek satu2 kan.. So I took a couple hours susun sana susun sini n my journals are now in alphabetical order, kecuali 1 pile yg grouped together sbb that is what I am going to do next.. k la, kena sambung buat keje, yerp keje ye.. erm mcm nak gastric plak tak cukup mkn.. hehehhe camna nak diet nie.. huhu..

Its all about that transfer thing..

I am totally exhausted after a couple of non-stop working weeks. Felt like a zombie. Tidur tak makan, mandi tak kenyang, makan tak lena.. Crossing the i's and dotting the t's. But after today's presentation, I am in a high spirit, despite the lesuness. I am hoping that I could achieve something..

On a positive note, the draft report has been submitted.. Lega sangat2.. Now I am looking forward to the weekend.. Katanya university nak buat bbq? jadi ke? Sugar (hubby la sape lagi kan..) kata sonyap je semua. But then again its weekdays so everyone is busy with school and those who has jobs got work to do. We'll see tomorrow. Friends from school nak plan buat bbq jgk. Tak dapek la, takut jgk kalau ada yg bwk pet anjing. I am terrified of them dogs I could faint.. Eh, kalau je ye. Kalau tak bgs la kan..

The power of negotiation

Tiba-tiba teringatkan anak kt rumah.. Nur Afnan Durrani, I miss u sangat2.. Sorry mama terpaksa habaiskan banyak masa kt school.. kt rumah mama tak leh nak buat keje.. huhu..

Teringatkan beberapa hari lepas, when I needed to get her to do something.. tak ingat la, tukar pampers ke apa, but she absolutely refused too!! I think she was watching timmy time or something like that..

Ala2 gaduh guling2 dah nie, and I was trying hard to think how to handle the situation. Erm, supernanny jo frost kt we need to get to the child eye level and say firmly, whatever the instruction is. Then, if it doesn't work, notti corner etc etc.. I tried doing the eye level thing but it did not work. Then I tried to negotiate, giving her more time to enjoy her fav show, THEN tuka pampers.. surprisingly it works!! It actually works.. even at 2 years 1 month that little baby of mine could actually NEGOTIATE.. amazing, subhanallah..

Lately she has not been punished by sitting by the notti wall or anything anymore. Not that she's too well behaved, but I am starting to understand her more. She understand little rules like no chocolate (she says LOLATT) in the house, but is absolutely delighted when we get in the car to go somewhere, she knows that she's allowed some (but of course she's reminded constantly she's only allowed to have a certain amount).

I don't know if I have ever mentioned this but Afnan could count 1-10 since early this year. She loves singing happy bday song.. happy bday to you..happy bday to you.. happy bday sayang mama.. happy bday to you.. though the sayang mama sounds more like 'yayang mama'..boleh la tu..and blow pretend candles.. so cute..

Erm apa la lagi ye.. she has made a lot of progress now I could not keep up.. she used to detest having to sit in her stroller but lately (in 2 significant occasions – keukenhoff n seaham carboot) she's a willing participant.. I love u to bits sayang..
