The Misinterpretation

#1

Qaisara: Mama, sakit perut. Sapu Yoyicaplimau.
Mama: Kenapa dia sakit perut? Nak b**ak ke lapar?
Qaisara: Saya lapar
Mama: Lapar ke? Jom makan jom
Qaisara: Tak nak makan..dah kenyang
Mama: ??

#2

Qaisara: Shhh mama koyet mama koyet [read: mama quiet].
Mama: Baby nak tido ke?
Qaisara: Taklah, baby ngantuk kot..
Mama: errkk ??


Qaisara..Qaisara.. ^_^

Her Vocabs....

...are growing and expanding! I am proud that Qaisara's pronounciation of every single word she says is clear. Tak main la pelat2 hehe...It is just that sometimes she uses the words wrongly...tak tahu makna kot...hehe..anyhow she is mastering quite a lot of words each day.

-She is now pronouncing her name as Kasagha [read: Qaisara], better than Kai Kaya she pronounced earlier, and started calling her teacher as Ko As [read: Cikgu As] also, better than before (dulu panggil As je). Show your respect lah baby, she is your teacher, not your friend :)

I always keep asking her some common question repetetively [which she doesn't really like to answer the same questions again and again. When you started to ask 1 question only, she will answer the question PLUS the other question you plan to ask one after another...

Q: What is your name?
A: Kasagha...babah Kaiyii..mama Nowii..atuk TokKomat..atuk TokAcol..Nenek Jah...TokMama Enon..PakLam Ecam...Babah work sisi mama work sabajaya..

Sometimes, she even answered her nenek's name as nenek nenek si bongkok tiga! I guess she get bored with the same question asked everyday ;) -Kadang2 siap provoke tanya lain jawab lain..grrrrr

I am also proud that she can now sing the song i used to sing during my childhood: 'Nenek nenek si bongkok tiga'

Nenek nenek si bokok tigaaa [read: Nenek nenek di bongkok tiga]
siam mangatuk malam ba-jaga [read: Siang mengantuk malam berjaga]
mecari cucu namanamana [read: Mencari cucu dimana ada]
neneku kawin dengan anak baja [read: Nenek ku kahwin dengan anak Raja]
cucu cucu tabole lari [read: Cucu cucu tak boleh lari]
nene tua banyak sati [read: Nenek tua banyak sakti]
sakaram nenek na cari gati [read: sekarang nenek nak cari ganti]
sapa yam kena dia yam jadi [read: Siapa yang kena dia yang jadi]

FYI, I am the one to fetch her from the nursery on my way back home. We normally will see series of traffic light along the way back and guess what:

Lampu merah: Mama, ssssssstop. Tu tengok tu ssstop.
Lampu hijau: Haaa, boleh jalan mama..boleh jalan dah.

I know my daughter is smart ;) It must be her babah telling her the traffic light lesson (good job, honey!) And owh, she will also ask me to stop when the light is yellow. Bagus2..boleh ambil driving license cepat mcm ni :D

Last night she got scolded by me after messing up all her toys at our living hall. Sambil membebel cleaning all the mess, i could see her walking slowly with sulky face to our 2nd room. I tiptoed and started peeping what was she doing. She climbed the bed, and sit still at the very corner of the bed. The room was dark, with no light switched on.

I asked her, Sara buat apa tu? Gelap lah...She replied with a very sad face...Saya manangis [read: saya menangis] aaaa? menangis? merajuk kot..sebab x de air mata pun.Iye saya yakin dia nak bgtau yang dia tgh merajuk...alahai..cutenya..takpe cuba lagi anakku...x power lagi lah vocab anakku :) Anyway, that was the first time she surrendered when i scolded her. Wonderful. Mama puas hati. Hehehehe. Mama menang. Kalau tak, selalunya the conversation will be this bad:

Mama: Qaisaraaaa..kenapa sepah2? Put this thing back to the room. Now!
Qaisara: [Muka toya, buat2 tuli...]tengok tv...or bwk keluar mainan lain pulak
Mama: Ya Allah, Qaisara..Pleaseeeee...Don't do this! Naughty lah u.
Qaisara: Noooooooo. Mama notiiii. Eeiiii

And i'll be the mangsa dera. Terasa didera kerana terpaksa mengemas mainan dan juga dibabab anak sendiri. [mommies out there, is there any way to teach her to manage herself better?]


Being a mother is....wonderful :)

You Are Invited!

It's her birthday today, and we are planning for the celebration this Saturday! Please come over and we can double up the fun... SMS me 0122667120 on how many kids you're bringing, so that we can prepare the goodie bag for you.

She's turning 2...tomorrow

Morning Ramblings

Hujan pulak this morning..office mandom aje..me pun a bit lambat today to the office (and terus memblog?uhh sangat tidak produktif)

1. My daughter digigit di nursery! I was surprised how this happened to her because she's kinda 'pembuli jalanraya' jugak. Found out, she fell and accidentally bumped into this lil girl (who happened to be her fave girl to bully long time ago). Being so mad sebab kena hempap dia pun gigit lah my daughter. [so quote of the day: Sudah jatuh ditimpa tangga, sudahlah sakit jatuh lps tu kena gigit lagi]. Luckily x berdarah. End of the story.

2. I'm still looking for a suitable cross-body bag, not small-size but big one: to keep few pcs of diapers, milk container n bottles, few pcs of toddler's cloth and not to be forgotten my long purse and handphone. Anyone? Tired of bringing my speedy 30..tak boleh sangkut kat bahu!

3. I can't wait for our planned family trip (sangat planned ok, we book the tix masa A*rAs*a promo 0 sen on Feb 2008! Nak tix murah punya pasal) this coming April. This must be fun (to the ladies at least) to get the chance to shop till we drop!


Later peeps, for more ramblings.....

A quick one

Yup, a very quick one:

1. I've just started my new job@my new place. The feeling: Err ok lah at this moment..sukeeeee :)
2. I went to the office@myPreviousComp few days before i started my new job. The feeling: Sedih jugak rasanya bila jumpa my mates..sentimental siot.
3. I've completed my C*S** certification during my 5 days leave before i started the new job. The feeling: Wah lega betul menghabiskan exam Q*S yang menyeksakan ituuu.
4. I didn't really enjoy my 5 days leave before i started the new job because:

-my husband was away for 8 days (time ni la pulak nak outstation uhh)
-my daughter preferred to go to school, rather than staying with me at home..(ampeh tul, boleh ke lps mandi cari kasut and terus ke pintu..sambil berkata: mama culll [read: mama school])

5. I can't help myself laughing out loud when Qaisara spell out her new word : COCOT

-There are 2 different meaning of cocot: i) Biskut ii) Takut [apakah kaitannya? huhuhu tiada kot neh]

6. My husband's birthday fell on the day he returned home from outstation. Happy birthday, sayang!

Facts on item no 2: Saya berasa sangat keji kerana tidak berjumpa dan bersalam2 an dgn semua yang rapat dgn saya di ofis itu..bukan apa kerana saya takut ter emosi lebih..lalu mengeluarkan air mata. Farewell email pun not sent [keji betul, tapi saya rasa seperti poyo pula hendak menghantar email, almaklumlah saya memang pasti akan berkunjung ke ofis lama itu..paling tidak untuk mengajak kawan2 minum petang dan singgah sekejap di meja2 yang berkaitan untuk mendapatkan gosip terkini]

Ayat jimatnya: Saya masih berasa diri saya sangat dekat dengan mereka yang berada di ofisLama itu...baru kini saya sedar betapa saya sayang dengan orang2 di ofis itu. huhu


p/s: Anybody knows where to get eletronic anagramizer?

She made my heart melt ;)

when she runs to me and says: tayamnye mama niiiii [read: sayangnya mama ni]
when she goes to bed, starts rolling and says: mama polok mama polok [read: mama peluk, mama peluk]
when she sings all her songs and adds a simple rhymes as: maaamaaa comey comey! [read: mama comel comel]
when she comes to me with muka toye and says: mama hab [read: mama, hug]
when she comes to me and says: mama tiss [read: mama, kiss]
when she looks at me putting on make-up and says: mama cantiknyee

Yes, she really made my heart melt.

Qaisara 19-month-old

What's your toddler doing? At around 19 months, your toddler begins to understand when things don't conform to grownup ideas. She'll laugh at something that's obviously wrong — like calling a giraffe a zebra or calling a brother a sister. (She laughed seeing Pocoyo acted as Superpocoyo). She'll also notice when something isn't quite right, like an eye missing from her stuffed bear or a new stain on the carpet. (yup, she will alert me when her milk spilled 'mama, tupah (read: mama, tumpah)

Although you're probably still understanding less than half of what your toddler says, she's getting a handle on most of the words you use around her. She's also having a vocabulary spurt and putting together pairs of words, like "Me go" or "You put." ( plus: Babah, wetap [read: Babah, wake up], mama, cipat [read: mama, cepat], ish ish ucukkkk [read: ish ish busuk]

As for social development, go slow. Your toddler will get all the stimulation she needs from unstructured play, so steer clear of formal lessons, such as dance or music, until she's at least 3. Play dates give her a chance to play near other children, but don't expect her to truly interact just yet. (Her playdate so far is her favourite kakak Aqish-sampai termimpi2 okeh, suka sangat main ngan atis)

She's such a copycat now. Follow everything u do, anything u say. Staying one whole day in nursery, makes her bringing back quite a lot of new words and new 'behaviour' each day:

#1:

Qaisara: Mama, Mama
Me: No reply
Qaisara: Mama!
Me: No reply
Qaisara: Mama, woi mama! [read in a very high-pitch sound]
Me: Erk

And owh, she now has started to appreciate baby, pandai sayang baby (by trying to kiss, hug and play with the baby), eventhough she still refers herself as baby :)

But wait, this is not a hint that she'll be getting one at home to play with ;)


note: takziah to Aisyah, di atas pemergian ayahanda tersayang...semoga rohnya tenang di sana..

She made me panic, again!

Drama gila seyh. It happened yesterday. I was having quite a bad headache, tapi buat tak tau je...kalau dilayan lagila sakit. To shorten the story, my to-do-list after office hour that day was:

1) to pick up Qaisara from nursery
2) to fetch my husband at his office @ KLCC
3) to pick up cupcakes for our cousin's wedding in Keramat
4) to send the cupcakes to our cousin's house @ Taman Melati
5) to have dinner @ their house

So there we go. Hubby was fasting that day, and the moment i reached his office it was about time for iftar. Hubby requested to break his fast @ KLCC, nak makan dekat Manhattan Fish Market katanya..but i said 'kita makan kat rumah aunt Norlia je la, diorang dah masak dah pun...u beli roti dekat petrol pump je la dulu'

We stopped by and got some buns for him. Qaisara requested for her milk and i fed her as usual lah kan. 10 mins later, guess what? She vomitted her milk she drank and habis carseat depan...duhh.We stopped at other petrol station nearby, to clean up all the mess. Poor Sara kena pakai baju yang dia dah pakai during the day...sebab baju tido dah kotor (and we don't have spare shirt)

The journey continued, we reached Kak Chik's house to pick up the cupcakes. Qaisara looked ok..with her baju comot :P. She ate a few kuih raya, and drank some plain water. Half an hour later, off we went to Taman Melati to deliver the cupcakes. Being only about 10 mins in the car, she vomitted again! This time all kuihs and plain water came out...poor baby nangis lagi...plus seluar and tudung mamanya habis kena muntah. And oh, carseat belakang juge ya...

At Taman Melati she vomitted 3 more times, we decided to bring her to doctor. I called her caretaker to check what she ate, or did she fell or did anything happen today? She ate nasi lemak a bit today, the rest is as normal as the other day...hmmmm... was it nasi lemak?

At the clinic , 2 more times: before and after we met the doctor. Thank god x jumpa sesiapa yang dikenali...i was wearing purple-colour office wear with turqoise seluar jogging! Macam *n*o* ok. And final vomit of the day was after she drank plain water on the way back home. All those counted as 8 ? In 4 hours? Oh my....

We reached home at almost 12 AM. She was asleep by then. Lega gila bila dia minum susu twice throughout the night and x muntah lagi...thanks doc for the medicine..

Today she looks ok, hopefully she is ok. Please pray for her ya!

**can't imagine how the scenario would change if we were having our dinner at Manhattan Fish Market..masak mak nak oi

A ( not-so ) raya story

How's your raya folks? We didn't really celebrate our raya because Qaisara had a measles on 2nd day of raya. Demmit.

She was having high-fever on and off a week before raya, when the red thingy popped out, baru la kitorg tahu what makes her so cranky and uncomfy...

During her fever


Malam raya: still in the mood for fireworks


Raya Day 1: The only decent pic of her, for the rest asyik nangis aje


The day Measles popped out

Her atok(s) and nenek(s) put sooo many effort to ensure their only granddaughter recover fast:

1) To give her coconut drink: no red spot hidden inside the body, all must out!
2) To not expose her to rain, this will lead to something worse (as they said lah)
3) No chicken, beef, seafood
4) No jalan raya
5) No etc

Unfortunately, babah couldn't stand the rule no 4. And the results, we keep kena marah everytime we go raya. Tension tul lah. Tension betul dgn babah. Sit still, no one shout at us. The end. Later still we can go raya...Grrrrrrr

On the 5th of raya...no more reddish body over Qaisara...so kira dah baiklah. Her nenek melaka was so kind-hearted that she prepared a green-colour paste to be applied to her body..Utk buang miang and sejukkan badan yang gatal, katanya.

The Lil Hulk Hogan

The Lil Hulk Hogan(closed-up)

Alhamdulillah, she is much much ok now. I guess red spot semua dah keluar...hopefully x kene lagi lps ni...

Sudah ok!

I am happy now..my healthy baby is back!

My Lil Einstein @ 17 mos

-brave enough to explore new things (walaupun mula2 tu mcm takut2)
-Can clearly pronounce few words:

aatuk: atuk
niknik: nenek
aati: auntie
bek: bird
beek: bag

tati: kaki

and lots more that i can't really remember..byk vocab jugak dah boleh sebut...her caretaker did inform me, 'dia ni cakap clear, x pelat...' wah cepatla bercakap anak mama ni...senang mama nak tau sara nak apa...

I'm grateful to the One, as now her airways is not as sensitive as previous time. Her immunity gets stronger each and every day...no more nebulising session, yeay!

Am happy and glad to see her growing up in front of me. I bet, pejam celik pejam celik, kompom dah turn to anak dara anak aku niii..
