Aaqil with Cheeky Thomas...

While roaming around Suntec area with Yang that day, I found that Thomas was in town. So I called up the father and son who was already in Marina Square to join the fun. At this moment Aaqil does not understand much about Thomas and his friends all about. He loves the songs as well as some of its catchy musical cartoons. Anyway he did have fun with all the kids and Omar had been watching him.

Mingling with other kids? Naahh!! He was bulliying all the girls....sgh!!

Aaqil has the toy above at home courtesy from Pakngah who is still in England. He bought it in uk for only 19 pounds. Here it costs 149 sgd. Mommy display it on her favourite Japanese chess. The thomas play table here costs 595 dollars so Mommy uses whatever she has. He he!!!

A Few Good Friends...

It was a special day for me as I finally met again with Yang after 2 years. She is having 2 days conference at swissotel and she had steal some time to have dinner with me at Siam Kitchen in Suntec City. We had some soft shell crab for appetizers, Omar and I had thai noodless,. Aaqil with his beancurd soup and Yang ordered some kailan and the famous green curry for herself. It was really fulfilling. Unfortunately she could not be long with us as she had to do some homework back in her hotel. I somehow promise her that I will go to BG on second Eid, God willing.

Back in MRSM Perlis, she was one of my closest.

Introduction to Marine Life..

Wife and husband messaging each other on YM:

Wife: I think Aaqil has interest in Marine Life?
H : So, you have any plans?
Wife: Let's go to Underwater World this Sunday! Can catch dolphins also after that!
H : Give me an itinerary
Wife: Huh, ok! ( dalam hati :this is a lifestyle of a busy man, everything must be pre-planned)

It was a sweet momentos and unforgettable experice as I was looking at Aaqi's facial expression as we entered the spectacular 83-metre long tonnel, filled with fiercest predators and an array of incredible marine animals. I heard that Langkawi and KLCC have better "underwater world tunnel level" by a friend who visited all.

That big stingray in the tunnel system appears 30% smaller than what they actually are!!

The weather unfortunately not friendly at all yesterday and Aaqil was without clothes most of the time. In fact, he was a little bit cranky after we exited underwater world due to hot sun. Bapak was also cranky and sour-faced for not getting enough rest this week due to his demanding jobs. We took a break at Merlion walkway so that Aaqil could play with small fountains and Bapak could light a cigaretts.

At Dolphin Lagoon waiting

Although it was crowded, crampy and sunny, we had a good time be together with charming pink dolphins.The trainers together with this special mammals have demonstrated their natural ability like spy-hopping, wail-walking and vocalisation. Some lucky spectators got their chance to meet-the dophine sessions and touched the dolphins. If not for the jeans I was wearing, I would love to volunteer and get wet so long I can touch this playful creature.

Friendly, tame and playful pink dolphin

Unfortunately, I did not really follow my itinerary so we both end up came back 4 hours late. In fact, to avoid Sunday crowd at Sentosa we walked 500 metres to get to the mainland under a 40 degrees weather. As a result for not having enough rest Omar had a slight fever and he took a day off today. He still sleeping to recover. Hmm..maybe itinerary is very important in everything we plan, I guess. He has a point!!

Baju Raya

I was amazed by the fact that my good friend Aida will have "10 pasang baju" for this upcoming Raya. I am sure she will look spectacular and I wish I can meet her so I can "pow" some hangbao hahaha. It has been a long time I have more than two pieces of baju kurung, be it "kurung Johor or kebaya". Anyway, I think I am comfortable with baju johor as it is elegant and not so sexy lah. So, yesterday, I smsed my Mom-in law, asking her if she knew anybody that can tailor my baju. Then she replied short and sweet "pass to me". Yabeda badooo!!! I actually totally forgotten that my mom in law is a certified designer and tailor and she teaches tailoring class in some of the community centre all over Singapore. But does she have the time? She is also at the moment a warden in of the girls correctional facilities.

Well, since I will be going back to north this Hari Raya, I thought why not I spend a little bit more for baju. So here I am with some chiffon materials and silks. I will be visiting relatives and friends so kenalah presentable a bit. Being SAHM tak leh sloppy-sloppy haha well if you guys know what I mean. *evil gins*
Back to my MIL, today lunch time, I took a cab to her house with my raya materials. We discussed some design and cutting and she sounded so professional in designing my baju. Bottom line Mak, try to make me look slim and still I can eat a lot lah. So she designed 2 dresses for me and I have to buy some beads in Arab Street later. Thanks Mak!!

As for Aaqil, he had a great time with my MIL's maid. Today for the first time, he said the word "kakak. kakak".
He even followed her to groceries shopping without crying and throwing his temper tantrums at me...Willingly he went!
After that he ate the chicken soup rice kakak made for him. It was a great break for me as me myself relax in the room and after that I had some haircut without have to worry about Aaqil.
