Nearing the End of 2009

Year 2009 almost come to an end and by now Faris can scribble on paper/drawing book with crayons that daddy bought for him. Some times he will miss while colouring the book and will colour the floor tiles instead.

When taking bath, he really likes to play with the water running out from the tab. He'll cry if not given enough time to play with the water before rinsing him and taking him out of the bathroom. He can scream real loud now when showing his temper.. daddy said he's like mummy.. hmmm..

Yesterday & the day before yesterday, we went to Abg Man's new house in Alam Sutera, Kinrara. A semi D house with luxurious fittings, with 5 rooms including 1 small room at the back and 6 bathrooms, can u believe it?? It will be tough to maintain a house this big without a maid. The house actual price is about RM729K if I am not mistaken.

Things were transferred by a mover (he paid RM1,500 for them) on 26 Dec 2009 and we had a potluck cum doa selamat yesterday. We bought a caramel cheesecake and rojak. Well.. looking at his house making me want to buy/change certain things in my house. For a start I want to buy a bigger fridge so that I can put my cheesecakes & all my bakery stuff inside. I also wanted a 40 inch LCD tv to be put downstairs at the living area, curtains for the 2nd, 3rd room upstairs and the room downstairs. Built in cabinet for the 2nd & 3rd room and to move the small wardrobe for bibik to store her things to the room downstairs. I also want to move the single bed downstairs and buy a new bed, maybe 2 single beds for the 2nd room. TV cabinet for the new 32 inch LCD tv, book shelf for Faris's book and a wardrobe for Faris's cloth. Had to buy a long mirror for guest to use. And I sooo like Abg Man's new dining table coz it has a longgg table and 10 chairs! It cost him RM3,600 and it's the display set.. hmm..

Photo above is of Faris at the stairs at daddy's house in Tmn Jasmin, Kajang. The tenant had moved out in November and daddy want to do some renovations before the new tenant coming in. We had a few people asking to rent the house, even before we put up the FOR RENT signboard! They cleverly ask the next door neighbour for hubby's number. The new tenant is a single mother operating a restaurant in Puchong.

Faris - 1 year & 6 months

By now, Faris is able to confidently run around the house although he will still trip once in a while. He can climb the dining chairs with ease, but will some times miscalculate his steps on the chair and will tergolek jatuh atas lantai! ..3x so far and hoping that it will never happen again.. hmmm.. He have 3 sets of shoes now, 1 the Adidas sneaker, 1 Asadi plastic slipper army colors that look like Croc and another plastic slipper that he use at Mama's. He weigh about 11 1/2 kg now and had lots of teeth, almost complete. He'll cry everytime mummy brush his teeth during the morning bath.

If mummy doesnt have anything on, she will bring Faris to Putrajaya to play in the kid's swimming pool. Last Saturday mummy bring Bibik to watch over Faris so that mummy and auntie Ita can play squash. In the pool he will walk around and pat the water. Oh Faris had a bibik from Nov 14, 2009, previously Abang Li's maid for 5 years. So now Faris will only go to Mama's (her babysitter) once a week on Wednesday so that he will meet other people and to avoid him from talking Indonesian :) .. and also Mama's kids are missing Faris and keep asking about him. They even end up switching on the PC just to see Faris's photos in there because they missed him.. and I've been told by Florence (ofismate who also sent her kids to Mama) that the PC's screensaver is Faris's photo.. hmmm...

He can now say a few word clearly like cat, dog, duck, atok, nenek, bibik, mummy and daddy when his mood serves him.. while words like "flower" will only be "awer".. He likes to eat roti canai and Oreo biscuits now.

It's heart wrenching to see him cry every morning I am going to work without him.. I guess he has gotten so used to follow me in the car going to Mama's place. This morning he held me real tight when Bibik want to take him.. I feel like crying, but life has to go on.

I only get to watch the TV once a week, on Sunday nite (CSI supreme sunday) and that also because I put in extra effort to see it. I love all the CSIs and that's the only show I really want to see.

We still sleep with the mattress on the floor and Faris's futton is beside us. He need his own space while sleeping because he moves a lot and once he kick mummy's face while sleeping on our mattress.
