Hari Isnin lepas, adalah hari Abah dan Mama “Parent Day Out”. Abah ambik cuti ganti dan Mama yang habis kelas pukul 12.00 tghari bergegas pergi ke Mid Valley “superstore besar di mana org kene tawaf keliling untuk masuk tempat parking nyer”. Actually bukan saja Abah dan Mama nak tinggalkan Imaan dengan acik Maya, tapi Imaan tak cukup besar lagi nak masuk wayang..hehe..
Memule tu cadangnyer nak nengok “Pirates of Caribbean”, tapi show nyer dah habis. So Abah pon terpaksa la decide tgk citer “Pantas dan Geram: Apungan Tokyo”. Jadi dlm masa 21/2 jam Abah dan Mama belajar teknik² apungan Tokyo (teringat pulak kat En Izhal: “di Hamamatsu ada pemanduan apungan Tokyo jugak ke?”). Di mana masa babak akhir tu hero mencabar org jahat berlumba dah seperti klise citer Hindustan, hero menang juga. Tiada sebarang teladan atau tauladan yang ditonjolkan di dalam cerita ini. Selepas tamat cerita tersebut Abah dan Mama keluar dari panggung sambil membingcangkan semula cerita tadi. Oleh kerana takde isi yang nak di ulas semula, Cuma Mama yang asyik bertanya ”orang Jepun boleh bawak macam tu ke?”
Penghabisan Abah dan Mama pergi membeli barang dapur kat Jusco. – (point punyer pasal – kuat benor pengaruh Loyal Customer nih)
*Nasihat untuk ibu dan bapa: “TV dan Iklan memberi pengaruh besar kepada pemikiran anak², pembendungan bukanlah satu cara sahaja, tetapi fahamkanlah anak² tentang pesanan di dalam TV atau Iklan supaya mereka tahu yang mana baik dan buruk”. – so sesamelah kita lihat rancangan yg anak kita lihat.

Kapal Pecah
Kalau dulu, Tok Mama slalu kate “Macam Kapal Pecah” bile rumah semak dan diri tak ter urus. Anyaway apa yang Abah nak citer kat Imaan sebenarnya betapa conscious nyer Mama pasal debu. Kalau boleh hari hari nak vacuum, tapi sebab kerja, mostly kerje menvacuum kan rumah ni di buat pada weekend je. So hari Sabtu lepas mama pergi pinjam nenek nyer vacuum ‘mermaid’ (ni jenis vacuum yg pakai air), so mengvacuumlah mama ngan abah hari tu. Memule tu abah ingatkan akan ambik masa lama tapi sekejap je dah habis. Wah..hebat jugak vacuum nenek nih..(tapi rasenyer tak boleh lawan ngan ’rainbow’ lagi). Mungkin kuasa sedutan vacuum² jenis nih mencepatkan lagi masa membersih. Daripada 3 jam jadi kepada sejam je hehehe..(tapi sebenarnya debu² bawah cabinet tu tak sapu tu yg jadi cepat tu). Ok lah Imaan ”kapal pecah” dah kemas semula, sekarang abah nak sambung tgk World Cup balik.Nanti Imaan dah sampai rumah, suruh Mama call rumah nanti Abah turun tolong angkat Imaan.Sayang Abah,
Aunty Wanie's visit
Dear Imaan,At long last, you and aunty Wanie got to meet face to face :) She dropped by after her MBA class.(picture will be posted soon)

testing a theory.. hmm..
Dear Ilsa Imaan,
You're now nearly 4 months old. Sigh.. how time flies! (Mama know Mama had kept on saying that but that is how I feel each time I'm watching you--especially at this age where you develop and grow so fast right before my eyes!).. you look more and more like your Abah now (well, that's what everyone says).
Reminds me of the times when Mama was still impregnate with you -- when both Abah and Mama were still wondering how our little darling would look like. At that time, someone had related to me a story of a girl who looked so much like a doll, all cute and pretty while both her parents were, well, just a plain-looking couple. And when the mother was asked of her secret for bearing such a cute child, she simply said that she loved to look at dolls when she was pregnant.
So, just to test the theory, Mama had tried to look at pretty things. Knowing (through the early ultra-sound scanning as well as instinct) that you're going to be a boy, Mama couldn't really look at dolls now, could I? So, I looked at pictures of cute baby boys.. :) One day, nenek came to me with a magazine. It wasn't a local one so most of the pictures in it are caucassian babies. But, there was one with a smile a bit like your Abah's (which was pointed to me by your Nenek).. so from that day onwards, that was the picture Mama had kept on staring at from time to time, willing you to look that way :P (but of course, I was also willing to love you no matter how you look! But, since at the time you were still the 'mysterious figure' in my womb, I'd like to imagine whom I was constantly talking to and carrying around with me)
Mama came across the magazine recently and was instantly reminded of this picture. I found the page and tried to compare (again, just to test the theory)

hmm.. sama ke? can only say your eyes look the same when Imaan 'kecikkan' mata Imaan :) The picture was taken quite a few weeks ago, and you still seem to change a bit as you grow!Of course you don't look caucassian but apa pun, to me, still nampak comel je baby Mama! (By the way, a mother should always say good things about her children as a mother's word is a powerful doa! So, not to 'masuk lif tekan sendiri' a.k.a angkat bakul neh ;) ) Alhamdulillah, jari cukup sepuluh, bak kata Abah. As for the theory, Mama pun tak tau nak kata. Maybe another soon-to-be mom can try it out and see if it happens. For Mama, it doesn't seem to matter much now as you are already perfect in my eyes. Mama like you as you are and however you may look like in the future. You were once a part of Mama and will always be ^_^
Mama loves you so much, Imaan! Semoga akhlak Imaan akan sesempurna sifat dan kejadianmu, amin.

A dedication to Daddy Cool ^_^
Imaan-- today's father's day!
Have you got anything to say?
..which translates to:
Mama pun wishes the same to Abah.
Thank you to dearest Abah, for the love and patience in taking care of Mama and Imaan. =^_^=

Demam Bola...
Guten morgen, Ilsa Imaan!
Poor little Imaan! Kena pulak tidoq kat living room rentetan Abah watching world cup the previous night (more like morning)! Well, what can I say? Mama tak terjangkit lagi ‘demam’ ni so Mama pun tak faham ketaksuban diorang nih. The only ‘fever’ I’ve gotten so far is the ‘ebay fever’.. heheh..
Anyways, recently a man came to demonstrate the Rainbow vacuum cleaner at our house. Those familiar with Rainbow would know how this magnificent sucking machine traps dirt in water while oh-so-splendidly cleanse the air. They would also know that it also comes with a my-oh-my price tag! Sigh… We nearly bought it from him but your Nenek had stopped us from doing so (I called her to ask about the Rainbow she had bought and used when Mama was still schooling).. “Tak Payah laa beli. Memang laa vacuum tu bagus tapi mahal sangat, membazir duit je. Baik korang simpan je duit tu. Pinjam je Mak punya vacuum Osim. Korang bukan ada ratus-ratus ribu dalam bank pun.. bla.. bla.. bla” Oroo. So that’s a no-no from nenek.
But days later, Mama found myself being more conscious of the ‘stuffy air filled with dusts that you can’t see’ during the day and of ‘the dust-mites that are infesting the mattress, alive and kicking even while we’re asleep during the night'.. the salesman had also demonstrated how a normal vacuum cleaner is not as effective and is actually sending the dust back into the house.. hebat betul orang demo tu mempengaruhi ek :P
So, my previous mission on the ebay world was to search for the best offer for Rainbow. Mama said previous because luckily I managed to get back into my senses and decided not to have it after all (not for now, anyway--you are welcome to buy it for me on mother's day when you're older and rich, though.. heee.. but maybe by then I'll be like your Nenek as well and starts membebeling at you to save up!)
My ebaying fever hasn't ceased though :P But it's more like doing 'window shopping' virtually rather than wanting to actually buy anything. And in mornings such as this one, it helps to chase the sleepiness away ^_^
Till I have the time to write some more~
Tootle-loo!

Kawan Imaan
Dear Ilsa Imaan,
Look who came to visit-- it's your 2-months-younger friend, Solahuddin. This was the first time for Mama, Abah and Imaan to see Uncle Syahril's and Auntie Syahidah's first son. He's barely two months, yet has grown big and tall--not to mention with the sweetest face for a baby boy that Mama has ever seen! Aunty Syahidah stayed and chatted with Mama about the good old days back in SMAP Labu while waiting for Uncle Syahril to finish his show at Dewan Perdana Felda. And by the look of it, both of you were enjoying your time too!

Career advancement
Dear Ilsa,
People have been saying, with each child comes his/her own blessing & rizq (rezeki) from Allah the Almighty. For Mama, just having you is already a blessing on its own. Although Mama and Abah had planned to have a child of our own a bit later after our marriage, the Almighty had a better one for us and thus, here you are. Mama want you to know that Mama never regretted one second of it (although the first news of being pregnant did caught me off-balance!).
Having you was not as tedious or as time consuming as I'd first thought it would be (that was the initial main reason which influenced me not to have a child at early marriage). True, I now have someone- a little, chubby and lovable someone ^.^ - to think of first when planning my time, but Mama still managed to do (if not all) the things Mama want. The big difference is that Mama and Abah have become more objective in getting the sources for family income. Teringat kata-kata kawan Mama.. "Money isn't everything, but everything needs money".
We want to be able to provide for you when the time comes; especially education-wise. Mama tak nak Ilsa miss lifetime opportunities just because the family hasn't enough funds at the time and depend too highly on scholarships and all. It would be nice if Mama's son become the great genius (Amin) and wins scholarships berderet-deret, but if happens to be unavailable to you, I just want to make sure you are still able to have the chance. Kalau cina yang goreng kuey teow pun boleh hantar anak belajar luar negeri, I believe we, the ones with better rizq from Allah (Alhamdulillah) should be able to as well.
Some of our friends had made tremendous career advancements, which had really inspired us to become better (and Mama won't deny I envy them neither!). So, Abah and Mama think it's time to step back and evaluate our current positions and review our plans.
Tapi, bagaimana berjaya pun anak Mama one day, Mama hope that your faith in Islam will be as strong as ever. Recently, Mama's bestfriend had shared her bitter experience and pain in seeing her own cousin, although now successful and rich, had seemed to forgotten her roots and did all sorts of kemungkaran during her weding day. Na'uzubillahi min zalik.
Ilsa, when you're akil baligh, taatlah pada perintah Allah. Taat pada Mama dan Abah selagi suruhan kami berlandaskan syariah. Jangan pakai seluar pendek atau dedahkan aurah. Jangan tinggal solat dan puasa. Mama tidak akan halang Ilsa to have fun but biarlah tidak melampaui batasan agama Islam. And when the time comes for you to get married, bawalah bakal isteri yang solehah datang jumpa Mama, and Mama will try to love her as much as I love you. Insya-Allah hidup Ilsa akan lebih aman dan diberkati. Mama am telling you now and hope once you're able to read, you'll hold on to this advice I'm giving you and take it with you to the grave.
Mama and Abah want you to know how deeply our love is for you right now and we are working hard to ensure you have a bright future ahead of you (Amin). Balasan yang Mama harapkan hanyalah anak yang soleh.
Hugs and kisses to permata hati Mama (besides Abah ^_^)
