Salah panggil???

We managed to reach home early yesterday...well not really that early (around 9.00 pm) but that was much better than the two previous nights.

Lately Tai-tai and I noticed that Aisyah would call both of us "Bibik" instead of "Mummy" or "Daddy". She would call us "Bibik" one or two times before realising her mistake and corrected herself immediately. I could feel that Tai-tai was a bit disturbed on this subject matter. Right now, I am more worried that Aisyah has too much of "close bonding" with the maid...which is not OK considering that the maid is going back for good in March next year.


Daddy : I hope to spend more time with Aisyah, and I promise to take her out "jalan-jalan" this weekend.

In"trap"ment

Tai-tai worked late again last night. She wanted to clear her work as much as possible just in case Aliyah pops out at any time. Lucky for me I brought along my laptop so I managed make significant progress on my costing template project.

By the time we decided to pack up, it was already 11.10 pm. And by the time we got to the basement carpark at her office (Head Office Bank cap Rimau) it was already 11.15 pm. We drove the car to the usual exit and guess what.... THE ENTRANCE / EXIT SHUTTER WAS ALREADY DOWN AND LOCKED!!!

We were informed by the guard that we had to wait for the Chief Security on Duty, who happened to be on his routine round at that time. Me and Tai-tai waited for 30 minutes before he showed up. He told us that the shutter is automatically locked at 11 pm on weeknights and if we wanted to stay back, we should have parked our car near the GM car park foyer. Tai-tai recalled that earlier this year we went back at 12 midnight and we did not encounter this situation. Puzzled by our explanation, he insisted that this has been the standard procedure and that there was no way that we could have exited ourselves last time. Anyway, to cut the story short, he willingly helped us..thank you sir!

Later on our way back, Tai-tai suddenly remembered that last time, I was based in Bangi and did not have access to her basement carpark...so I must have parked the car at the GM car park foyer then!!!

My exact words...

"Oh ye lah..... mana ade kita park kereta kita kat basement masa tu.... I park kat GM foyer..sebab tulah kita takde masalah nak balik tengah malam!!! Kesian pak cik guard tu...patutlah dia puzzled masa kita mati-mati cakap dulu balik pukul 12 tengah malam takde masalah pun!!! Kita yang silap info rupanye...."

By the time we got home, it was already 12.30 am. Aisyah was already asleep...just like the day before... sorry Aisyah, nanti esok Daddy bawak Aisyah jalan-jalan...OK?

Morals of the story:
1) Do not work late at office
2) Remember where you park the car
3) Family must come first

Visit to Doctor

We took Aisyah to our local doctor last night. Aisyah was not terrified at all. On the contrary, she was very pleased to see the doctor and gave full co-operation during the examination.

My daughter is a big girl now...she should be OK to visit a doctor (provided no jab is required!).

Aisyah's medication (from left) : Antibiotic, ubat cairkan kahak, ubat selsema and ubat batuk. Kat depan tu complimentary syringe untuk masukkan ubat dalam mulut.

Supper pix

Aisyah in the backseat all by herself enjoying chicken nuggets during our supper outing at Bandar Tun Hussein Onn last night... she woke up this morning with a terrible cough. I promised Tai-tai to take Aisyah to clinic later this evening.

Monday blues....

Tai-tai is on leave today, and that adds on to my Monday blues syndrome factor. I'm in no mood to read even the newspaper, so I decided to update my blog while waiting for the official office hour commencement.

Last night I put Aisyah to bed. The standard 3 ft single bed looked so small with me and Aisyah crammed in it. But that was not a problem at all. I enjoyed putting Aisyah to bed, and I hope that our father-daughter bonding will go stronger and stronger each day.

Welcoming Aliyah...

Tai-tai is now 37 weeks pregnant. We've got most of the things ready as Aliyah is due to pop-out anytime soon. In fact, the maternity bag that should carry most of the required items like newborn diapers, napkins, feeding bottles and maternity pads is in our Kelisa most of the time. Since last weekend, Tai-tai has started her weekly check-up with her Gynecologist. The Gynecologist also advised me not to do any outstation traveling after 20th November. In view of Aliyah's condition, coupled with Tai-Tai's history of anxiety disorder, it is well understood that my role as a husband is vital during the birth process.

I love Tai-tai... she completes me. And I love my daughters - Aisyah and the soon-to-be born Aliyah very, very much. I consider myself as very lucky.. have a wonderful wife, beautiful kids, a nice house, cars that are in working condition, good job with good pay, supportive members from both sides of the family, and a wonderful life (although it is undeniable that I crave for more leisure time lately..ha!ha!)

Daddy : Will be the man of the house..literally!!!
