Cool Highland!

Several weeks ago, I became a singleton for a week as the ladies of my life made their way balik kampung. Maklumler cuti-cuti sekolah ni, hendaklah jugak beralih angin. And while there, they joined Yan's sisters and their families ke Cameron Highlands. Cuti-Cuti Malaysia! Here are some of the pix....

Scary Moment

It was scary, really. Mak fell ill earlier this morning.
Today, I was awaken by a phone call from my brother Azmi around 6.45 am and informed that Mak fell from her bed and apparently hit her head until berdarah.
In five minutes, I was already driving like mad to Shah Alam! Mak was lying in Chor's living room when I got there and was a bit better. She told me she blacked out and that's when she sort of jatuh. And when Mi got there we brought her to the nearest medical centre and both of us were astounded that Mak's blood pressure had shot up to 232. Of course the doctor said that Mak need to be admitted and of course Mak doesn't want to. So the good doctor put her under observation for several hours and alhamdullilah, the pressure reading eventually went down. So the doctor let her go back home.
But I was really scared! Even at my age, you really do not know how to react accordingly when you are faced with such a moment. Tapi syukurlah Mak is okay now!

Musical Theatre at Istana Budaya

Last night we went to watch a children musical theater at the Istana Budaya - the Ali Baba Musical. It starred 80 school children and the ever likeable Aznil Hj Nawawi. The children were there to watch their Abang Aznil, and he did not disappoint them. He was his usual live-wire and sometimes we felt we were watching his Macam-Macam Aznil show ler pulak. Overall, the musical was an okay production but the children were fun to watch - especially the girl who played Marjina. Oooh! yes, we met Yah (anak Mima) there with her siblings which of course include my future sons in law - Akhbar and Abidin. Alia and Asma were freaking mad at me last night - kah kah kah!

Terjumpa ler pulak meja ada bunga. Amik gambar lagi.

Dengan tak disangka-sangka, Alia terjumpa her best friend kat, Mariam kat sini.

Drama Anak Angkat!?@#

My daughters, like their bapak, can be very the drama. And their conversations could very well lead to rather sensitive issues (as in previous entries). It doesn't help when Yan was always caught off handed whenever they came up with their questions.

But last Saturday, the girls came up with another ewrr.. issue and this time Yan was ready. It goes something like...... (in their bedroom while the bapak sedang bersenang lenang depan TV)

Alia: Mak nak tanya satu benda boleh? (and then she kept quiet)
Mak: Ha, ape dia?
Asma: Ha! Dia nak tanya benda tu ler? (seperti biasa menyampuk)
Mak: Apa dia? (and getting very the ready for some out of this world questions)
Asma: Dia nak tanya betul ke dia ni anak angkat? (dramatic effect tul)
Mak: Ha! Kenapa pulak?
Alia: Ye lah, asyik-asyik Asma jer yang betul kat rumah ni. Asma selalu dapat apa dia nak (dah start mendramatikkan dirinya). - (Ya lah tuuuuu!!)
Mak: (decided she had enough with this nonsense) MEMANG!!! Semua tiga-tiga anak angkat!
Asma: (Siap dengan terbelalak mata lagi!!): Apa? Baik mak bagi tahu sapa mak kandung kami? Kami kena siasat nih.
Mak: Suka ati lah nak bagi tahu?
Asma: Tak boleh. Kami kena tahu jugak mak kandung kami!!
Alia: Aha! Asma, entah2 mak kandung kamu Queen mana2 negeri tak? (banyak ler Queen nak bagi anak away pada orang)
Asma: Baik mak bagi tahu, ye ker asma anak Queen?? Jadik Asma ni kaya ler?

Lps ni Yan malas dah nak layan ......tak boleh menang punyer.
