My Sundays

2 weekend yang lepas aku jadi sebahagian rombongan pengantin lelaki pada majlis perkahwinan ibu mertuaku punya adik ipar punya anak buah. Hahaha. Sangat tak ada kaitan dengan aku. Oh, di Senawang ye. Agak jauh. Dan cuaca semalam agak panas. Nikah pagi dan sanding tengahari. Jadi antara nikah dan sanding tu kami melepak di surau tempat nikah tadi tu.

I was wearing my new baju kurung, made by Madukara hehe. Very nice. But I didn't take any picture.

Anyway, motif aku bercerita ni ialah nak mengatakan yang abang pengantin ni sangat suka kat Emma. Aku ngan Zufri memang sangat relax semalam pasal Firdaus ni lah yang jaga Emma sepanjang hari. Sampai aku nak menyusukan Emma pun takde time. Hehe. Asal aku amek Emma balik je, dia hulurkan tangan balik nak amek Emma balik. Dia ikut Emma merangkak satu surau. Emma pun ada orang layan dia, seronoklah.

Lalu bila rombongan pihak lelaki melangkah ke rumah pengantin, here's Emma.

Sheesh. Tidur pulak. Muka macam Lee Kuan Ewwwwww pun ada.

Then on Sunday, Emma and I just chilled at home while Zufri played some golf. Yes, that's right. He's into golf now. Even tunes in to the Golf Channel in lieu of the usual Discovery. Sigh. Well at least he's getting some exercise, and we all know just how much he needs one. Or at least one thousand. Hehe.

The point is, usually when Zufri's hitting 'em balls, it's a girls day out. Seronok berjalan berdua dengan Emma ni, pasal dia tak cakap banyak dan bila dia penat dia tidur. Hehe. The furthest we've been to together was Puduraya to pick Papa up. Macam ni cerita dia. Come gather around. A few Sundays back, after sending Zufri to the diriving range at Bandar Utama, we went to OU. Stayed there until around 5, then we drove up to Puduraya. Aku memang kalut, padahal bas Papa sampai pukul 7. So with an hour to kill, I decided to take Emma to the National Monumet a.k.a Tugu Negara.

I've never been there before, so I didn't know it closes at 6:00. Sangat mengecewakan. I know Zufri would never believe me when I tell him that I took Emma there, so I took some pictures. But I couldn't take a picture of Emma with the monument because who would hold her, right? And I'm not the type of person who walks up to a stranger and asks that person to take a picture of me. Buatnya dia lari dengan kamera aku macam mana? (Note to self : Should have more faith in others)

Kui kui kui. Do you see what I see? Yup. There's the monument right there.
And that's Emma's sparsely (kan?) haired head

Dan ada sekumpulan pemuda bermain dram, or bongos or something.

And here's a picture taken after my birthday dinner. Cuba tengok sikit Adam tu. Macamla perut Kak Peachy dah besar sgt sampai kepala dia harus begitu.

From left to right is Kak Yen (who wants to be called Tante Yen. I suggested Mak Yen, hehe), Emma carried by Abang Sany (The Sun to us, who would like to be called Om Marlon), Zufri (Mamu, kuikuikui. Kak Yen even calls him Mams for short), the 27 year old (Adam calls me Gigi. I don't mind at all), Rizzqin carried by Papa (the usual Atuk and sometimes Pops, Poppy Doo. He's 61 this year. Aku sayang bapak aku. Although I don't think I ever told him that. Except in birthday cards. Malu lah. Wakakaka), Adam (hensem kan? hehe) and Kak Peachy (Aunty Peachy. Yeah. She's straight like that. Wakakaka). Tiada dalam gambar is Pipi (Aunty Pipi. Also Pipi Doo), Abang Emil (kui kui kui only to his face. Behind him it's Emilzers. Or Ims. Adam calls him Uncle Memel) and finally Aunty Rani, Papa's wife. Hahaha macam kejam je kan. My step-mom. Will post a picture of her as soon as I have one.

Emma & Elmo

A few weekends back, the lot of us went to Singapore to cure a pregnant lady's craving for Newton Circus' steak tulang. Delicious, I tell you. Terubat segala rasa kerinduan. The place is so different now.

Habis merah-merah jari semua. Over minah ni. Heh heh.

Haih, I'm not in the mood to write lah. Haven't had the mood for a long time. So enjoy the pictures, OK!

What? Mummy's still sleeping? Come, Bapak! Let's wake Mummy up!

But first, warm up dulu.. Stretching sket..

Huarghh all that stretching and jumping to wake Mummy up is making me sleepy lah. Come Elmo, we sleep.
