It's 11.07 pm. Our boys are sleeping. Am planning to iron my workshirt and afnan's nursery uniform. But somehow I don't have the courage right now (it's just an excuse ;p). I wish i can have robots to help us folding & ironing my clothes;) seems impossible...
We just bought dryer machine 2-3 weeks go. Prior buying the machine, we're always skeptical, towards dryer, in our mindset it will fasten the wear & tear of our clothes. Anyway we found that it's a very helpful tool especially during weekdays that we can quickly dry the clothes within 1-2 hours, and there is 'cupboard' setting which can be chosen, it will keep on 'rachetting' (machinery terms) thus once drying is done, the cloth will not shrink, it will maintain in such a way that it's easy to be folded and iron. Promote electrolux, hihi.
Well, coming back to the original topic, first, second and third..just to would to share my experience and observation of typical kid's characteristic and behaviour. This might be just a co-incidence, due to surrounding or could be you have the same experience too? Do share...
First child: independent, learn through trial and error, concern about his/her siblings and parents, have strong character (normally leadership), high perseverance.
Second child: typically bigger size than the elder brother/sister, not choosy in term of food intake, would like to attract attention, easily get jealous of other siblings, pampered.
Third child: learning curve is faster as they learn via oservation and interaction with the two elder brothers/sisters (in terms of crawling, walking, talking), tough, normally will get closer to the first child as compared to second child.

yang ke-tujuh
Kami menyambut ulangtahun yg ke-tujuh secara sederhana pada sabtu malam ahad yang lalu. Seisi keluarga keluar makan bersama.
Teringat kembali saat kami mula mendirikan rumahtangga. Dan kini sudah bersama tiga hero kecil yang tangkas dan riang. Rasa seakan-akan mimpi. Di sepanjang tujuh tahun ini, pelbagai pengalaman telah dilalui. Pengalaman manis, pahit, suka, duka semuanya bercampur aduk. Apa-apapun, saya sentiasa berdoa moga kami terus berusaha menjadi ibubapa terbaik demi anak-anak dan isteri/suami terbaik buat pasangan masing-masing. Masih banyak yang perlu dan boleh diperbaiki.
Tahun 2013 bakal menjelma. Sungguh pantas masa berlalu. Terus terang saya agak gusar dan bimbang untuk memulakan 2013. Mungkin kerana saya sudah terbayang situasi bagaimana menguruskan keluarga dan kehidupan; sedangkan suami ditugaskan di tempat yg berbeza. InsyaAllah tiap apa yg ditetapkan kepada kita, pasti ada hikmahnya. Ini apa yg saya belajar daripada rakan sekerja "kebergantungan kepada Allah"..insyaAllah dengan adanya uaha, doa, ikhtiar dan tawakal kepada-Nya, akan dipermudahkan segala urusan.
abang, happy 7th anniversary;) thank you very much!

Raya 2012
 | |
| the best pic for the day; what an achievement! everyone was looking at the camera (at least) |
 |
| saya bersama baby athif; oh he's a toddler now |
 |
| leisure style |
 |
| di bawah pokok |
 |
| everyone seems not ready; i can feel the stressfulness of any photographer to snap our family pic, hehe |
 |
| am i cute? |
 |
| my 'twins'..muka sama:) |
 |
| this pic is also nice; ayman with his peace.. |
Anyway some short background; the original plan was to go for yellow colour this year. nonetheless, when we went for shopping at Gene Martino, there isn't enough yellow baju melayu for afnan and athif. Thus, we changed to purple. It was last-meeting-shopping; just several days before raya. Apparently we just realized during raya; purple become the fav theme colour for most family this year, hehe. Afterall, it's a nice colour for us as well:)

I found this book interesting "Be a great mum"
After staying at KL for almost 2 weeks, we're back to Bintulu. ayman and afnan was very excited to meet us. They're excited to see athif can walk. Hotel was havoc with us (2 adults and 3 boys), we're also tight with work, but managed to catch some time with family and KL friends, hehe.
Among all, Afnan was very excited once he knew that we're going back to Bintulu.
He even mentioned he missed his school, his friends..then only I realized that he haven't gone back for 6 months! At least i came back once in april.
Packing up our luggage to Bintulu was not that easy. just imagine after a few months athif and I residing at Munich + after some shopping at KL + afnan's and ayman's luggage from penang + papa's luggage for 2 weeks in KL = total of 10 big equivalent luggages! as we didn't manage to fit in everything into our bags, some of them were put into big nice paper bag, and then we went for wrappping at klia.
Flying back to bintulu. As the plane nearly approached our destination, i can feel the plane keep on moving around at the same place over and over again. Then the pilot announced that the weather in btu was not that fine: heavy rain. Thus, the flight has to redirected to kota kinabalu..hmmmm.. once landed at kinabalu, afnan asked "dah smpai bintulu ke?" his question was so innocent. We explained to him what happen and after several Q&A, then he was satisfied why we haven't arrived at bintulu. Cute! Then after about half an hour, the plan departed again to bintulu. Alhamdulillah we safely arrived bintulu at 4.30 pm. Just imagine, normally the flight will arrive at 1.30 pm. ada hikmah di sebaliknya. Yg penting, alhamdulillah selamat sampai.
Then here comes the unpacking part, in which my hubby's area of expertise. Even packing is also his area of expertise. Hihi. We unpacked slowly; phase by phase. Monday: we sent afnan to school. Ayman and athif to Makmah. Alhamdulillah everything was OK (though I could hear athif was crying while we left him). Kakmah texted me that they are fine.
Oooh just realized, I've diverted from the ENTRY SUBJECT. I found this book at Kinokuniya just now; will be my reading material throughout this week while away from my family:( the book seems interesting and catchy and i hope this could give inspiration for me, to become a better mum. Will read word by word. papa, take the greatest care of yourself and our boys. I miss you all (already)...

Ayman is 3 years old!
Beberapa hari lepas saya baru update blog harijadi athif..dan ya, hari ini pula adalah harijadi anak kedua kami, ayman nawfal bin ahmad fadzli. Saya berasa sedih kerana tidak dapat bersama ayman ketika mencecah usia 3 tahun. Mama mintak maaf ayman...
pengalaman melahirkan ayman, lain pula kisahnya:
-ayman lahir pada 27 jun 2009; lewat sehari daripada tarikh jangkaan doktor.
-ketika sedang sakit menahan kontraksi, doktor menawarkan epidural (semasa afnan 2.5 tahun sebelumnya saya ambil epi); tetapi kali ini saya bertegas utk cuba tidak mahukan epi. Cuba bertahan.
-setelah beberapa kali dipujuk, doktor cuba cadangkan pentadine (harap ejaan betul)yg secara teorinya dapat menenangkan dan membuat pesakit lali utk tidur. Selepas setengah jam dicucuk, doktor dan misi dtg kembali ke bilik bersalin. Kedua-dua kehairanan melihat suami saya yg lena tertidur dia atas kerusi, manakala saya masih tak tidur-tidur walapun di atas katil. Masih ingat lagi misi kata 'rasa tadi sayo cucuk awok, bakpo cik abe hok tido?'hehehe. Itulah hakikatnya, saya dan suami mmg sgt berbeza. cik abang saya boleh tidur di mana sahaja, bila-bila masa; saya pula memerlukan keadaan yg begitu kondusif seperti bilik tidur sendiri, baru dapat lena, itupun di waktu malam.
-dan satu lagi, saya masih ingat, ketika melahirkan ayman, masa itu masuk waktu zuhur. Serentak azan berkemundandang. Sayu dan sungguh tenang rasanya;)
-ayman mempunyai karektor 'second child syndrome'. Dia mudah sensitif dan akan cuba menonjolkan dirinya. Kadang-kadang saya rasa keliru samada ayman atau athif yg merupakan anak bongsu kami (buat setakat ini, hehe). Tapi saya dan suami amat memahami situasi ayman memandangkan kami berdua pun anak kedua dalam keluarga masing-masing. Hihihi. Macam tak ada kene-mengena pulak.
-ayman mempunyai 'features' atau iras orang bosnia. hal ini menyebabkan setiap kali berjalan-jalan, orang akan bertanya kepada saya, 'anak kakak ke ni?'..kalau suami sedang dukung ayman, orang akan tengok suami dari atas ke bawah, tengok dengan perasaan was-was. Cukup bersabar ajelah.
AYMAN NAWFAL BIN AHMAD FADZLI, mama doakan ayman jadi anak yg taat, soleh, pandai, bijak, comel..insyaAllah tak sabar nak jumpa ayman & afnan dan juga papa;) lagi 5 hari. I'M COMING HOME. I'M COMING HOME.

athif is 1 year old
Hari ini, anak ketiga kami, athif najwan bin ahmad fadzli, genap berusia satu tahun. Antara detik-detik yang masih segar dan mencuit hati dalam ingatan: -berat saya mencapai 69 kg di penghujung 9 bulan mengandung. Rasa macam teli-tubbies, huhu. -ketika itu saya dah overdue selama 3 hari. Bos sudah mula sms tanya suami, "isteri dah bersalin?" Mlm sebelum bersalin, suami dan anak2 (afnan dan ayman) sama-sama menyanyi sambil bergendang di sebelsh saya...'baby athif cepatlaa keluar, baby athif cepatlaa keluar'...berulang-ulang kali. -saya sakit bersalin kul 2.30 pg di tgh mlam. Mungkin baby athif terdengar sahutan papa dan abang-abangnya. Bila kejut suami, dia pujuk suruh saya cuba rehat dan tidur semula. Padahal dia yg sgt mengantuk ketika itu, hehe. Sabar sajalah, hehe. -di bilik bersalin, suami lebih mendapat perhatian doktor dan misi. Ini kerana dia sedng bertongkat, kecederaan lutut akibat syok bermain rugbi. Hmmmm. -masih ingat lagi, suami perasan dirinya seperti 'seth tan' kerana tidur di atas sofa. Zaman tu zaman drama nora elena. -saya berasa seperti bermimpi lepas selamat melahirkan athif. Rasa terawang-awang. Mungkin akibat terlebih menyedut oksigas. -ketika berusia 11 bulan, athif sudah mula bertatih dan kini dah pandai berjalan! Cuma kadang-kadang kalau nak cepat, dia lebih suka mengesot. Laju macam askar. Alhamdulillah athif dah setahun. Makin banyak akal, makin mencuit hati. Mama sayang athif. Moga menjadi anak yg taat, baik, sihat, pandai, comel...

it's June;)
We are very excited as now it's June. Our final month staying here.
1) Bought our final monthly train ticket.
2) Paid our final monthly house rent to the landlord.
3) In progress of finishing up our 'rempah-ratus' and food stock at the kitchen.
4) Aim to go for spring-sale shopping before coming back; H&M, Zaara, C&A.
5) Booked hotel for our final night in Munich.
6) Athif 1st birthday 22nd June 2012, another 3 weeks to go.
7q) Need to start packing, hope we have enough bags to cater our belongingness.
Yes, very excited..but somehow I can't deny the mixed feeling. Also sad and going to miss..
1) Love the good public transport.
2) Enjoy the working culture here; have time for family, weekend is really weekend.
3) Nice weather.
4) Gonna miss my officemates here, very supportive + effective + passionate (that answers why they really enjoy work).
5) Love the civic conscious; clean and organized place to stay (rubbish has to be segregatted into the designated colour-coded bins).
6) Admire on how kids here are being taught and raised-up by their parents (i need tuition on these!)
-kids can still sit-still in stroller, baby chair though already 4-5 years old..amazing.
-more outdoor game (sand castle, house tree, slide, cycling) rather than indoor (ipad, tv) etc.
-working mothers who just gave birth can take up to 3 years maternity leave, some company even pay 70% salary.
-dad is eligable to get 1 month paternity leave.
7) Ayman's 3 years-old birthday on 27th June 2012, gonna miss this. later we'll re-celebrate together with athif's in KL or Bintulu. aiming for CHOCO LAVA @parkcity. take note papa:)
Nonetheless, life goes on. I was a bit stressed on work this morning, but I got 2 interesting emails in the late afternoon; which really make my day;) InsyaAllah, pray that tomorrow will be better than today. Amin...

Wrote by Fadzli a.k.a Koi..
Alhamdulillah. My company sent me for HAZOP & IPF Meeting/Review at Linde AG, Munich which gave me chance to spent time with my wife and Athif. Sadly, Afnan & Ayman are currently with their Tokpa & Nani at Penang.
Below is how I spent my time in Munich for 18 days...

I miss them..
We safely arrived @KLIA on 7th April 2012, alhamdulillah:) HOME SWEET HOME.
It was a short and very busy stay in KL, where most of my time was spent for Visa application arrangement:
-went to Wisma Putra for doc legalization (tq hubby for your help)
-translation of document (tq hubby for your help & the payment too)
-went to Germany Embassy (apparently I've filled-in the wrong form)
-photocopy the relevant doc for the evidence
-went to Germany Embassy (yes, again for the Visa submission)
-obtain the Visa:) alhamdulillah
Apart from Visa, I was also busy to fulfill my craving for Msian food, hehe..nasi lemak kerang, ikan bakar, butter prawn, keoy teow, mee kolok, roti canai..you named it. hubby was so shocked to look the way I ate, as if 'tak kenyang-kenyang' huhu
The 2nd phase on my stay in Munich has begun. This time, only athif is with me. While the elder ones: afnan and ayman are @ Penang. They are being taken care by our family in Penang. TQ very much:) It has just been almost 2 weeks being apart from them, but I missed them so much! Everyday and night; thinking about them.
