new tool in the house and 1st, 2nd, 3rd

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!
