Happy Birthday to both my sons, Adam Danish and Ariff Danial. They are more naughtier than before but I guess it is normal for any 3 years old kid eh? But one thing that I have to admit, handling the girls is kinda easy compared to the boys. I guess maybe it will be different when they reach their teenage years…

Anyway for the twins, they love to bug wifey every single time and yeah I do pity wifey as whenever I reached home from work, she appears to be lost a huge amount of energy which I believe 80% of it caused by the twins

Well, they might smear the plasma tv screen, hide the remote controls, playing with their foods, playing with the switches, the lights and the fans, keeps on bugging me to let them have shower every single time I went into the bathroom, yelling to each other, fighting, punching, arguing, shouting “Jusco” in unison whenever I wear pants or holding the house keys, never let me to close my eyes before they sleep and once in a while they get some slap at their pampers powered bottom, they always will get my hugs and kisses whenever I reached home.

Happy Birthday Sons, you are the most precious treasure I ever had… Of cause along with your mummy and your sisters lah

Simply a Happy Man 

After the whole one week promising my daughters (wifey who promised them) that they can go to the cinema to watch Upin and Ipin’s movie, last weekend we managed to fulfill that promise even thought there are some unfortunate events occurred.

First when wifey try to book the tickets via phone, she told me that the movie is unavailable or not listed. I tried using Maxis’ Easy Access and the have the same result. Then I started to look at the newspaper and straight away I know why the movie is not in the list. Because we didn’t look the correct title of the movie. We look for “Upin and Ipin” while the actual name is “Geng:Pengembaraan Bermula” (Gang: The Adventure Begins” So me and wifey had a laugh on our ignorance.

Initially wifey planned to take the girls to watch the movie at KLCC. But then I reminded her that going to the cinema on Valentine’s Day is bad, bad move and that place will be crowded with lovebirds. So during dinner we decided to book the tickets at IOI Mall, Puchong because it’s near to our house. Instead of sending the Twins to Desa Pandan, they can stay at home. The problem is that wifey didn’t inform to our maid on the change of plan and when the time comes, our maid had prepared all the necessary items for the twins for Desa Pandan stay. Like it or not, we went back to the original plan. Watch the movie at KLCC and left the Twins at Desa Pandan…

Overall the movie surpassed my expectation for a movie produced locally especially the ones with 3D animation. OK there are aspects that need to be improved but as an adult, I do enjoy watching this movie. The story line is nice, I laugh most of the times as the humour elements injected in this movie really tickled both me and wifey and of cause my daughters as well. There are some scary parts that really make Iman squeezes my hand tightly (some of the scenes do get into my nerves as well). Anyway perhaps the singing parts can be removed though

My hat off to the company behind this movie. Yes they did received some sort of help and support from the government but IMHO based on the result, they deserve all the help that they get. So to L’escopaque, I’m waiting for the sequel and I believe my daughters feel the same way as well.

And yes for the sequel, I will bring my own Upin and Ipin.

Starting from today until this coming Sunday, I’ll have to play wifey’s roles. Wifey is away as she’s participating her company’s sports day held at Awana Kijal. Based on the information given by wifey, she will be representing her team in volleyball match (And I would love to see that actually lol). Anyway  both of us had discussed this for quite some time ago. I guess maybe wifey felt that it would be tough for me to handle the kids by myself. Especially when I need to ensure that Adam and Ariff will put in bed on time.. Deep inside I have to admit that some of wifey’s concerns are true but I’ll try my best to prove her wrong.

Initially the plan is that all of us will travel back to Kuantan where at least my mom can assists me whenever she can. But then since our car is yet to be completely fixed by the workshop, we have to scrap this plan alltogether.

Then wifey sugested that all of us stay at her mom’s house at Desa Pandan when she is not around. But I told her that it is better for us to stay at our own house because I do feel that at Desa Pandan, there are lack of privacy lil bit. Plus I dun want to burden my mother in law as well. She has another 3 children to worry. Having my children there will not helping her at all. Until today I still believe that my mother in law should have a good rest and peaceful life. Most of wifey’s siblings are grown up and working. It should be them who help my mother in law instead.

So wifey agreed that everybody should stays at home until she returns from Terangganu. I’ve sent her this morning to her office and yeah, I do feel lil bit sad to let her go (not because I have to look after the children by myself) but then I think it is time for wifey to have some free and fun time for herself. Well when I was away to Jeddah and to Singapore, she didn’t complaint at all and compared to this, I was away longer than hers.   So no complaint lor..

To wifey, we do miss you and have a good fun, enjoy break with your colleague. Dun forget to snap some pictures eh . Let me worry about the kids. Hehehe

…Is not an easy task. Honest. Usually when we have this family outing to shopping mall (for time being only to Equene’s Jusco nearby), it would be like a caravan of circus (that’s my view), with the stroller, the twin’s traveller kit (basically a backpack containing their milk supply, their snacks, pampers, spare shirts and shorts for each of them and some other additional items.) and yes, we will put Adam and Ariff in their stroller as I dun have any intention to carry them during the outings and neither do wifey.

Most of the time, the shopper at Jusco Taman Equene will greet us with,

“Eh twin.. Best nye…” or “You are lucky to have twin,” or “Twin.. Jelousnya..”

every time they saw our twin. Of cause we usually will always give a nicest smile as possible to those comments and compliments. Yeah, we are proud and feel lucky indeed with the twin.

But like one of my friends said,

“Twin, twice the joy but doubled the work.”

I dun have any intention to dispute that. Especially when the twin now know how to walk (I think I did saw Ariff is running or maybe walking in faster than usual pace”. Yeah we do have out-of-bound places for the twin especially the kitchen , the stairs and yeah to their own cupboard.

They now know how and love to climb our Japanese style dining table and playing with their sisters stools. As now they can eat by themselves, they will try their best to make sure that the food in their hand will be shared with others via the sofa, the floor and even via my working pants. Adam has this habit to climb the door’s grill to reach out for the keys or padlock while Ariff has this habit of clinging to wifey whenever he saw wifey around.

During nite time especially the bed time, Ariff will sleep with wifey while Adam with me. And like any other kids, they will playing around, tiring themselves or perhaps trying to find some sleeping mood before eventually go their respective sleeping partner ;P  While they want to achieve that sleeping mode or become tired, the usual spot for these two boys will be wifey make-up table. They will try to squeeze all the bottles/tubes whatever on the table through the holes on the chair. So most of the time in the morning I will end up sprawling under the make-up table looking for my comb.

Anyway even sometimes I do loose my temper and shouting all the times to the kids, but deep inside I know that all the hardship, all the restless nite and days and all the pain that me and wifey endured while raising these kids (OK include their sisters as well) are worth every single moment. It does make me appreciate more on the hardships that my parents had to face while raising me and my siblings and like my best friend said,

“Twin, twice the joy but doubled the work..”

Well, one of my friends, geek00l compliment on the cuteness of my twin (such a flattering compliment and on behalf of the twin I would like to say thanks) and suggest that I should take both of them out and perhaps during gathering or sort of which I think might be applicable in the near future. Both of them can walk even though at slow rate but perhaps in few months time, maybe the slowliness problem will be over. Anyway here are the pictures of both Adam and Ariff. To be honest, they are not that exactly the same.

I just can’t get enuff of both of them

“You ni lembik la, asik dapat flu je. ” – “You are such a weak person”

And as a result, it is my turn to suffer the sore throat, headache, running nose, coughing and a touch of fever as well. And thankfully I have a wonderful wifey who willing (or not I dun know ;P) to take over some of my tasks on putting Adam to sleep. Usually Adam will only sleep if I lay beside him and give some soft pats on his buttock while Ariff requires wifey to cuddle him closely or he will start screaming and refuse to sleep.

Speed recovery is a must or I’ll end up doing nothing at the office (Heck I can’t even think properly and lil bit weak due to the lost of my appetite )
