My humming bird

We had a lovely lunch at Elthem today. Watie and co has cooked some Indonesian meal, not sure what they call it for the fish. But it looks like ikan masak singgang to me. Fried chicken, labu masak lemak, mee hoon goreng, prawn fritters and we have our Indonesian friend brought gado2, tempeyek, and plenty other more. Thanks to Watie and family for the wonderful meal. I actually eated almost everything and the kids enjoy it too. Fawwaz is pratically munching the food from the momment we arrive until we leave the house. I am full till now!

Anyway today I feel like writing about my sons. Let’s talk about Aariz first. With him, we need to do a lot of reasoning. He is a talkative young boy. He can chat non stop asking this and that. The poor parents sometime lost word to explain why and what so not. Take for example. When we both were working…. they are times that Aariz don’t feel like going to school. So he will ask why ma…we have to go to school…why you need to work and why we have to wake up early in the morning…and the entire why early in the morning. So to shut him up, I plainly explain to him….you know darling…if you keep on asking why and not quickly get dressed papa will be late and the boss will pull his ears. Then his eyes will roll…..Pull papa ears? Like you pull my ears?..Yeah I said. Then he quietly gets dressed and obediently goes to school. Sometime…after school if any of us gets stuck in the office...one of us will pick them up and bring them to the office. So after the earlier conversation…one day we brought him to the office where they are quite a few people still remain in the office. He sat there quietly, looking around and suddenly the golden question pop out. Mana boss papa? Haha …I was quite surprise with that question cos seems that he remember our conversation a while ago. Luckily my boss is not in the office. So I tell him that …he went back already…He looks pretty disappointed. Then I ask why….you want to see which one boss papa that pulls his ears? Yeah he said… He probably very interested to see which one is the person that has higher authority than his papa. That can pull papa’s ears….haha.

When we give reasoning that teaches him on how to reason too and improve his negotiating skill. He is very expert on this. Like when we are in the pool...and it's time to go. If i said is enough. Then he will say ....can i play another 2 more time (water slides)..and if i quickly nodes with a smile...he will say...err 3 time please. so ok he get's 3...then on the way they are another water slide he will say ...ma ...3 more time...and this time i will say no. please ma...last last ...i need it ma...3 more time...please...ok how to say no to this...so i will say yes but only 3 times and we are heading back home after that. no more smiling. then he understood that he has reach the limit. else the 3 time can multiply by 3. They are one time he manage to buy 30 more minutes from me. How cheeky is that?

As for fawwaz…he is now 18 mons…still not many proper word coming out from his mouth yet but lot’s and lot’s of mumbling. I wonder why my boys are very talkative. Aren’t men/boy should be less talking? Anyway… he can utter few words like than you ..nak susu…nak ammy (makan) nak yakkkk..that is his favorite one. We think is not only when he is doing his big job…even when he wee wee he will say nak yak…imagine every few hours he will come to us and say…yak yak yak and showing his pampers. I have been conned few times by him. He said dah yak …and pull me to the toilet..yeah his pretty clever on this. He doesn’t like his nappies become very wet..so each time he feels that it need to be changed he will ask us to go to the toilet with him. So that few times that I have been conned is where I already undress him and when I open his nappy..it still ok. It just that the nappy is sort of like not properly put on haha. The other thing that he loves the most is singing!...He can sing the I love you (barney version), Twinkle2 little star and one new Zealand rugby soundtrack. Sometime he will just walk around the house singing/humming…they are one morning when only hubby and fawwaz are awake, while hubby brushing his teeth or stgh, fawwaz at the other side of the bathroom holding the tips of the towel pretending that is a mic and start singing for good 5 minutes. Yeah he can’t really talk yet ..but he can sing..and they are real words coming out from him. I hope he will not become a rock star.

Yeah that is my two boys…When they wide awake I feel like can u please go to sleep..when the asleep I will gatal2 come and kacau them. Which always irks hubby. For me ..i just love em.
