Great Lost

Bapa in jordan 2008

It has been a long time since I remember to update this blog. Recently my loving father passed away and it has been a very sad and hard time for our family. It triggers me to write something about the lost and moments before he left us. We all love you Bapa / nenek boy and miss you very much. Bapa passed away peacefully on 13th June, sunday at 5:45 evening

A week before he died, he seemed quite but always happy. He always ask us to stay over the weekend at Tg's house, or else asked if we will stay at Tg's house next weekend. He always wait outside the house whenever we go out, just to say goodbye to the kids. He gets excited when Syifa and syafi are around, although i feel guilty asking him to look after the kids as they are quite active. That's why i only let him watch the kids when we're around or the amah is around.

On Friday 4th june, my sister celebrated her birthday and we were having family BBQ at her place that evening. i noticed Bapa ate a lot despite the restrictions of food he shouldn't take (due to high blood pressure), but he seemed happy. After sometimes, I noticed he was sitting alone at the corner of the house dreaming away...looked unusual to me but i didnt say anything. I thought he must be sleepy or tired. That night he asked us again if we staying at Tg but we've decided to stay at Lambak and stayed at Tg saturday night. When we came over saturday afternoon...he was alone in the house, my mom went to her sister's house and my brother and his family went somewhere (i wish we would stayed there and accompanied him). How foolish we were, just because we wanted to bring syifa to play with her cousins, we also decided to go to my sister's house after telling him. He seemed sad that we didnt stay long...rather left soon after we arrived. We end up joining my mom at my tua's house and fortunately Bapa went there to join us (what a relieved to know he's not alone in the house). Sunday Bapa went for weddings, since my mom not feeling well so Bapa went with my brother. We brought mom and Siah to eat out.

Wednesday 9th june, Bapa went to Seria with my sister and her family. I was so happy although it was just few hours. Suprisingly, Syafi was so fond of his nenek and he didnt want to let him go. Bapa end up bringing him to the car before he left.

Oman

We all went to Muscat, Oman for 2 weeks and few days in Dubai. Beautiful city....friendly people especially the Bruneian there. Syifa and Syafi were happy and enjoyed themselves...new experiences for them. It was a bit tough for me to take care of these 2 active young ones alone during the days when Abu is doing his course (reason we went there 1st place)...but its all worth it.

When Syifa celebrated her 3rd birthday, we ordered this at my friend's sis for her birthday goodies.

We went to Jakarta and I secretly ordered birthday cake to suprise my hubby:)...The aircrews went along as well...and best part was when the headcrew announce it with the P.A system. Happy birthday to my loving husband.

SLEEPY BIRD

We have been trying to capture Syafi's sleeping styles for the past few days. We thought of joining that baby sleeping picture contest by Bebeland/Mothercare. Syafi has few funny sleeping styles hehehe... He is so adorable. Oh yes, he loves to use his pacifier.....which we never let Syifa to use it before. Well....the pacifier helps to calm him sometimes so we cheat hehehe..we let him use it.

TIDUR

One of syafi's sleeping styles....we let him sleep in our bed for the past few days. Most of thr time he has to sleep in his crib (for SAFETY reason)

Escapade

We celebrated our 4th year wedding anniversary on 11th Nov. Unfortunately, we were quite busy to plan anything so we decided to just have dinner at excapade. We left our baby boy at home coz' he was peacefully sleeping, so we brought our daughter along to celebrate with us.

Princess Thumbelina wannabe

Syifa was so excited that her cousin came with princess dress, so she got ready early for her birthday. I have not put on her wings and didnt have much time to do her hair....so much for Thumbelina look alike. Anyhow, Syifa was so happy that she dressed like thumbelina barbie (with the wings) for her birthday....although she was too tired to cut the cake and end up sleeping.

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY

Syifa turned 3 years old already...time pass by so fast. Look at her cake, it was specially ordered form my talented friend's sister. She wanted a Barbie thumbelina cake, but this barbie cake was not bad either. She loves it!!!! We have not officially celebrate her birthday yet, because we were so busy with my nephew's wedding. We are going to do it on 15th Nov....and guess what, she requested a pool bouncer and princess Thumbelina's birthday theme. We managed to get almost similar Thumbelina's dress in Jakarta and some wings to go with it and yes she loves it. I cant wait to dress her up for her birthday party this weekend.

LV bag

Another reason to go Singapore was to shop. I was soooo happy i managed to buy this LV beg. My husband wondered why do i need to buy $1080 bgg when i can buy few bags with the price. My answer was simple...Thanks for my birthday gift..heheeh...

1st Hari Raya

This is Syafi's 1st hari Raya. Notice he's wearing cara melayu...and he was so excited when we brought him around visiting relatives. Off course, we have to limit the visits as he was still taking medicine and antiobiotics and need plenty of rest.

DEMAM

Unfortunately, a week after Singapore trip, Syafi had a fever. We were so worried about H1N1 infection so brought him both to Panaga and JPMC, and alhamdulilah, it was just a normal flu and fever (part of his growing up things i guess). It wasn;t so easy for us the night he was sick as he was screaming and crying the whole night, we end up let him sleep in car seat till morning (apparently it worked, he stopped crying and went to sleep when we put him in car seat and drive around).

Btw, it was a day before Hari Raya when the Dr wanted to admit him in the ward, just in case the fever did not subside after series of panadol and antibiotics. Luckily, Syafi has no problem taking the medicine on time and his fever was well monitored. Within a day...he's laughing and active again, so Dr did not worry.
