Mandi Sungai

Emil's father was a member of Patikan, the MCKK class of 60 boys. Every 3 months or so (if I'm not mistaken), they will organize a get together among themselves for their class reunion and family gathering.




So, last two weeks, the get together was held in Janda Baik (Why would anyone ever name this place that?) One of the old boy has a wonderful wooden house with lawn as huge as a football field. It was located right by a small river. Just perfect!




I jumped at this opportunity to go because firstly, it was in Janda Baik and I want to bring Shaqeel to mandi sungai :)

Secondly, I love this tradition that they made it a point to gather a few times a year for casual meet ups and I want to be a part of it.

And thirdly, I love the network! These are all MCKK boys who were groomed to be someone back in the 60s. Who knows which power figure I might bump into right?

Shaqeel: Networking

Anyway, I had a good time that weekend. Shaqeel behaved well and seemed to really enjoy the cool river. The food was good. The weather was just nice and breezy.




Now, the question is, where do I send Shaqeel to school?

Shaqeel's Beach Holiday

One week after raya, we went for a short beach holiday to Pulau Redang. We spent 3 days 2 nights at Redang Beach Resort. Fairly a nice place with reasonable price considering the condition. But the beach... The beach! It was really exceptional! Clear water, blue sky, white sand and with just the perfect company....it was fabulous!

Unfortunately for Shaqeel though, he was a bit feverish the whole time we were there. He did not seem to enjoy himself as much as I wanted him to. Oh well, there is always next time..

Till another beach holiday...

Salam Ramadhan

Salam Ramadhan to all my blog readers.
Semoga kita semua dapat menjalani ibadah puasa dengan sempurna.

p/s: Jangan tergoda dengan milo Shaqeel ;)

Benjol di Dahi Jendul

Most kids love water right? Well, mine doesn't. In fact, I think he hates it. The moment I take off his clothes in front of the bathroom door, he sensed that it is bath time and he will start to cry!

I have tried all kinds of bathing; mandi dalam besen, in the bathtub, shower. Lap badan pun nangis! I have also incorporated some tools like rubber duckies but he still does not enjoy it.

Shaqeel yang benjol sebab jatuh waktu mandi :'(

Maybe I'll bring him swimming and see what happens....

My Toddler Walks Now :)

Shaqeel took his first independent steps about 3 weeks ago. Crawling was still his favorite mode of transportation then.

Now, he has quite mastered the art of walking. He wants to walk all over the place, walaupun terkedek-kedek. Soooo cute!
