Tata Mama

Imaan sayang,

Yesterday, Mama and Abah had a bad case of food poisoning. It’s not like your normal diarrhea, it felt much worse. Both of us even had slight fever and felt our joints aching as if we’ve come upon a flu or something. But poor Abah still had to go to the training conducted by his college in Jeram, Selangor. So now Abah is away for a week and it's just you and me.. and of course, Nenek, and Atuk, and Mak Andak, and Mak Long, and Pak Long and Abang Anwar.. err.. well, the whole lot who's staying at Nenek's at the moment since that is where we'll be while Abah is not around :)

This morning before Mama left for work, Nenek called out "Eh, dia dah pandai bye-bye lah!" .. and there you were, waving.. well not really waving, more like clenching your hand and unclenching a few times before changing your moves to a 'flapping' gesture.. still kira oraitlah.. 'waving' bye-bye le tu :) Sigh.. the image made me glow just by remembering it and will definitely stay in my mind this whole boring day of working (yesterday Mama was on MC by the way)

Well.. better start my class.

Miss imaan bobot :^* (and Abah bobot too..hehe)

Mama

Get well soon safurah. Drink lots of fluids to replenish the lost water. Ahh, everyone knows that!

anyway, I've seen your open house photo. Nice and creative site you have there! You're one talented person.

May be you should write more about your business. I might sign you up, if "the price is right" ;)

haha.. alahai mama sarah.. I pun wish I had the opportunity to leisurely devote my time to arts and design.. but my life is such a mess of overlapping work and commitments right now (guess who's to blame for that if not the empunya diri sendiri? :P)

sigh.. maybe the food poisoning's a blessing for me to have a break for a while (ahaha-- ironic nye bila teringat tergolek2 kat rumah tahan sakit!)-- u'r right about the drinking tho.. as common a knowledge that it is, even I failed to remember to do so :P

Anyway, thanks for the support! Kiss kiss to both of your lovely children, Sarah and Amar! :)

rest assured you're gonna shed buckets and buckets of happy tears throughout your kids life! like the first time they call you mama or the first time they come toddling their first steps towards you. ahhh.. bliss..

what's bobot anyway? my kids and their father are known as " budok bede' " in trengganuspeak. go figure!

ilsa said...

bobot.. hemm.. more like panggilan manja imaan yang kitorang dah terbiasa (especially bila dia buat perangai manja mengada-ngada sikit.. hehe)
if in kelantan punye slang my hubby would call imaan 'manja kededey'.. these east coast people punye bahasa ni macam2 ek?

y@tipruzz said...

kededey eh safurah? kitorang panggil 'manja kededek'...also from kelantan words hehe

idlan ngan pruz nyer nama manja 'baby'..so kite ade 2 baby kat umah :)

budok bede ape k.tie??

ummi said...

bede tu refers to kids with 'reputation'. nanti kalau kita jumpa akak boleh ajar pronounciation sekali.
