bits and pieces of news
28 12 2007papa’s birthday
it’s been quite sometime the ashclan had wanted to go out as a family to bowl - but somehow never got round to it til christmas eve 07. the only person missing from the outing @ ampang superbowl flamingo was qemal - who had to work *boo hoo*.. kerja kerja kerja…
overall - ayu was the best bowler, i think pouji ended up being with the least score (padan muka gi gelakkan mama nye masuk longkang - ketulahan ibu tuuu)..me - i’ve only bowled like 1x in my lifetime - and of course, wasn’t good at it.. this time round, managed to get no pins down for like more 6 frames (throws, bowls - whatever ppl call it).. but i had my own personal cheerleader who still rah-rah-ed for me regardless of the number of pins i knocked down
anaqi was so excited that he couldn’t be lulled to sleep - zulaikha managed to sleep for an hour or so..
next outing, ayu suggested alamanda… but it’s toooooo far (not with the new putrajaya-kl highway .. heheh..)
work-related (whut??)
yesterday was in lembah beringin -to manage the live pilot transactions for a showcase for new module introduced for my existing client. alhamdulillah - with minor hiccups (why is it that people rarely highlight issues or inconsistencies with process etc etc during testing or training but suddenly are reminded of it when it’s the live transaction??!) - two transactions were fully completed by the deadline given by client.
thing is - my effort ain’t billable yet since i don’t have the LoA for that project - why would one work without any formal engagement document? coz the documentation bottleneck is at the higher levels within this organisation. not on the client side. nuff said.. i’ve done my part.. now do yours!
anaqi update: 11 months in 1 weeks’ time
am planning to go for a checkup this saturday - am feeling that anaqi has gained weight but would like to confirm with the GP… come feb next year will be his final vaccination - then we’re home free…i think…
he’s still fully breastfed (YAY for me!!) and now rejects porridge - apparently he’s bored with the same ole porridge and now craves whatever other people eat - last week managed to prepare him pasta with mushroom and herbs… have also fed him with nasi kenduri … roti canai… bread dunked in milk.. whatever u can safely feed a child - we’ve done it.
somehow makes life easier but am now worried whether he’s getting enuff nutrients.. have to sneak in some veggies and fruits somehow… am scouring the net for easy-to-prepare recipes for snacks..
field trip to butterfly park
kakak mentioned wanting to go to the zoo.. but after reading news on that girl who was mauled by a leopard @ zoo negara, decided that maybe kakak ain’t ready yet for that.
suggested to kakak if butterfly park would interest her.. she was so egg-siting! (that’s her term for anything that makes her happy)… so since last weekend was filled with other activities - am thinking of taking the family to butterfly park sunday… will prolly post pictures later!
