SEEING RED

In view of Valentine's Day and in tune with Chinese New Year, Daddy Dearest presented Mummy with this sassy scarlet baby....

OK, WISHFUL THINKING! Hmmm, this is more like it....

Syukur Alhamdulillah, praises be to Allah for this totally unexpected 'kurnia'. In retrospect however, having this baby would mean that:

Mummy would have more independance to go anywhere she wants, on her own accord (read: Daddy doesn't have to chauffuer her around ALL the time in his Ody)

Mummy would have to undertake the duty of sending me to my enrichment classes on weekends (read: Daddy would then have more time to play his all time favourite computer game of "Command & Conquer")

Mummy would have to think of servicing the monthly payments, annual road tax as well as motor insurance (read: Mummy would have less moolahs for her monthly shopping indulgences - a habit that Daddy's been trying very, very hard to 'discourage')

Oh ok.... NOW I undertsand why Daddy was so adamant in paying for the deposit and in Mummy getting the baby! *slaps forehead* Nonetheless, thanks hor, Daddy! Mummy <3>

FIKIRANITES UNITE!

It's been quite some time since Daddy’s buddies of 16 years met up. A couple of them couldn't make it for my birthday celebration by the park due to work commitments and the likes. As such, when they got the golden ticket to hang out like the good old days, they basically left their soul mates to handle the extra baggage….

(Mummies & Their Kids)

Whilst they do what they usually do best. Relax one corner….

(Shh... Important Meeting In Progress!)

And when that happens, the Fikiranites took the opportunity to take after their Daddies' footsteps to chill out and look cool….

(Chilling Out With The Rest)

Oklah, to be fair to Daddy, it's been a gazillion years since the ging gang of Fikiran Plaza hanged out WITHOUT their families. The frequent weekend dinners at Simpang Bedok, Jalan Kayu or Mak's Place have always been handful and demanding – with the Daddies having to entertain and run after their young ones who are forever seeking the formers’ attention.

On hindsight, it’s strange how these 'lepakz' days evolved over the years. When they were much younger (read: no bulging tummies and no receding hairlines), the Fikiran Plaza (which consisted of more than 20 members in their golden era) were simply contented with the 60 cents coffee which could last them 2-3 hours. Then, the dating game began and to impress the Fikiranitas, they painfully upgraded themselves to the $5 mochas at coffee joints like Starbucks, Coffee Club, Coffee Bean and Olio Dome. With evolution and as the number of kids grew in strength, the Fikiran Plaza seemed to have settled for anything that can accommodate the kids, anywhere just as long the kids can run around without any danger zones in sight.

Sigh! Talking about kids, I'm missing my other Fikiranites already…. If not for a suspected case of chicken pox and the crankiness of some of the Fikiranites, I think we may have stayed like till forever at West Coast's McD. Daddy, can't you just take MC on Chinese New Year so that we can join them for the trip up north? This one Aunty Yan suggested one, hor! Not I said one…. :P

(P/S: Aunty Yan, Mummy said you can 'kapur' the pictures if you want. She said no need pay interest. Just some of the mouth-watering cupcakes you’ve been baking will do…. :))

FANTASTIC FOUR

I'd like to share my delight and excitement in attaining the 'Fantastic Four' Award with the following people. Without whom, I'd most probably be stucked with 'Terrible Two' or 'Troublesome Three'! Hehehe...

My family and friends who were there to celebrate this memorable and unforgettable occasion with me....

My Mummy who ensured that the basic needs of my guests were met.... (For the record, Mummy went to the extent of ensuring that EVERY kid gets a prize during the lucky draw.)

My Daddy who taught me the know-hows of kite-flying and cycling....

My Aunty Dibz & Aunty Tiq who helped with the logistics and wonderful balloon sculpturings....

And NOT forgetting my absolutely adorable brother who had to purposely fall down and 'victimise' the tantalising cupcakes baked by Aunty Teatea....

Thanks hor, Adik Ihsan! THAT really made my day! :P

More pictures at Mummy's Multiply.... SOON!

A DREAMER'S DREAM

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

I'm a dreamer, all rite! When I was two, I chose to dream that I was a princess. One who was pretty, always dressed in a gorgeous gown and loved by all - especially my Daddy! When I turned three, I dreamed of becoming one of the Power Rangers - the PINK one - but powerful and strong, no less. Now that my fourth birthday is just around the corner, Mummy asked me what I dreamed and wished for.

Hmmm, now that she's asking, do you think it'd hurt if I were to reveal that deep in my heart, I'm really longing for this magnificent coach....

Or this dreamy Victorian mansion....

Or maybe this dangerously attractive driving machine....

Hmmmm, or perhaps, I should just wish for.... er, WORLD PEACE?
