“sehr sub”

Lately, I’ve found myself unable to sit quietly and review my current life. Since Lana, things have been moving so fast. Not that I detest it, I just missed reflecting myself.

In this short moment I have, I’d like to do just that.

Early this month, we spent some quiet raya time at home. No guest whatsoever. Oh, sorry, we did have Syiefa, Nadia & Jimi coming over for a short visit. Ok lah, Syiefa staying overnight to do her presentation prep also. That’s about all.

My parents came on the first weekend. We spent a whole day beraya. It started with Muq’s colleagues’ open house in Melawati. Lana was cranky. Her nappy rash got worse. Kak Mas advised using cloth nappy at home to ease the rashes. I spent most of the visit in Kak Mas’s room comforting Lana. But I did get to talk to Kak Mas’s mother, who is in her 70s but looking young and healthy (The secret to that, she said, was to eat right). Kak Mas’s daughter looks like an angel - she inherits the look from her mommy and her grandma (I can see).

Then, as it reached noon, we went back home (the traffic was awful! - semua orang nak gi open house gaknye). Changed car and load ourselves into my dad’s. Next stop was Kak Eika’s 7 bedroom bungalow in Kota Warisan. I ate Laksa Sarawak (yummy yummy yummy) and a really satisfying chocolate cake (damn, meleleh air liur teringatkan kek tu). Lana was ok there. She even slept for awhile. Then, we headed to Klang, Pak Be’s house. I tried bathing Lana, and she wailed for no reason!!! I spent most of the time comforting her (again) and at last, Muq got her to sleep. We ate Mee Kari, but I didn’t enjoy it because I was already tired putting up with Lana’s crankiness.

From Klang, we went to USJ Heights, Pak Joy’s house. Turned out that it was Zuhier’s 20th birthday, so we get to eat his cheese cake with oats! It was Mak Ujie who advised me that Vaseline is great for nappy rash. It was completely gone after 3 days! Note to self: Don’t forget to thank her. Had a peek at Zulaikha’s luxurious room! Lana is having something like that. hehe..one can dream kan.. Lana was crying again but Kak Aisyah, Zulhairie’s nanny did her magic.

Our last stop was Kepong, visiting Mak Azie and family. Met Zaid and 9 months pregger Hasni. They had their baby girl yesterday, named Nur Irdina.

Last Wednesday, we had our journey home to Gurun. Muq’s brother’s wedding. Lana was a doll. She laughed and smiled at everybody. She is a people person, I can tell. It was tiring, though.

And the first day at home, I had Barotrauma. Sigh.

Lana is now a master of meniarap! Hahaha..
