The one with the Ramblings

"Mama knows how to hook her bra!!!" As usual i took Mama for her bath today. She is now more independent. Likes to take her own bath and brush her own teeth. Which took twice as long. Therefore, she doesn't like bath because it was to tiring for her. Since the stroke, she doesn't wear her bra as she is housebound. But today, since we are going to have this little 'kenduri' or party, she decided to wear one. Little of my knowledge there are few types of bra. And Mama's is the one where the hook is at the front. I never have one. Mine will be the normal plain ordinary not fancy boring not sofisticated bra. So, i tried to help her to hook that but with difficulty. As if it has this super trick to put them together More complicated than the rubiks. Inpatience with me, Mama slapped my hands, rumbled few foreign words and did it herself, in less than 10seconds!!!!...And she gave me this sinister smile. " See, I could do better than you" That's what...

i love having conversations with kids i went out with my nephews few days ago to watch Toy Story 3 (it was beyond awesome). It was me with my brothers and 2 of my nephews (my cousin's sons to be more precise). Nazran is 5years old and Najib 8 years old. Nazran is the naughty one. Talkative and very very active. He loves when people take his pictures. and camera loves him too. We had our lunch at KFC. Me: Tau tak nak tengok cerite ape ni? Nazran: Tau. tengok wayang. Me: cerite ape la kak wani tanye. Nazran: Nta Me: Toy Story 3 la. Dah tengok toy story 1 and 2 belum Nazran: Dah..dah tengok dah dulu Me: Ingat tak cerita dia macam mane? Nazran: Ingat!!! Me: Ha mcm mane..Ingat ape? Nazran: Ingat la..Ingat mati!! Duh...Zapp.. Naughty? and thoughtful. Despite. I managed to fool him to pay for the parking ticket. He really convinced that the movie ticket i gave him earlier was the ticket to be used for the autopay machine. "Ha, Ayan. mane tiket kak wani bagi tadi. cepat masukkan. kala...

"makan" + " rendang" + "daging" + " semua" = KENDURI... Mama has been trying to tell this for 2 days. This morning we managed to crack the code!!! She cried.. Happy... So, Lets party!!!!!

Funny thing happened today with Mama Even though she is now able to move her right hand (the weak hand), she still have the expressive dysphasia (which means she understands everything you say but having difficulty in saying it out). There are times that we could not really understand what she wanted hence we guess. Up till now, we are doing pretty well. Today, my uncle bought satay for all of us. I fed Mama with rice and masak asam and she really liked them. She ate few spoonfuls! But she did not want the satay. "Dah...Dah!!" and pushed the plate away from her and forced me to eat them instead. While I was spoon-feeding Mama, Shaggy; our cat was at my feet, begging me for the satay. I kicked her away. Suddenly, after all that, Mama asked for the satay. We gave it to her and after we cut the meat smaller, she said something like "me...raa..maa''. We couldn't understand. She kept on repeating it until up to a point she gave a long sigh, depressed, wanted to g...

Thank you to whoever has wished and prayed for Mama's health. She is fighting it and working really hard. That's the quality that Mama has and i am really proud of her for that. Good girl. She looks better than i expected. Not the illness that bothers me, but knowing Mama, the depression that worries me the most. Mama likes to tell story and to talk. She would call anyone that comes to her mind and talk for hours. We don't mind at all. Let her be. She likes to move around. At her age she still working. Not that she needs money (not for her at least), but she likes to do it. She has been working hard since ever. It is impossible to ask her to stop all those and rest. She is the most stubborn girl i ever met after myself. I almost cracked into tears when i talked to her yesterday. I wished that i could hear her voice again. Scolding me for coming back to see her. I wished that she could hug me like she always do and kiss me on my cheeks and forehead like she always do. Even j...
