Happy Mother's Day Mama!

Daniel called my mobile while I was having my lunch today.
He just got back from school. With excited & happy voice he's telling me.....

Daniel : “Mama, Daniel beli bunga kat sekolah”
Me : “Iya? Bunga?
Daniel : “Cantik Ma….Daniel beli...“
Me : “Iya? Kenapa Daniel beli?”
Daniel : “Daniel beli untuk Mama. Happy Mother’s day mama!”
Me : “oh! Terima kasih! I love you”
Daniel : “I love you!”
Me : “Daniel ada beli untuk Ibu tak?”
Daniel : “Ada”
Me : "Ok. Nanti Mama balik rumah, Mama tengok ye.”
Daniel - "Ok"
Me : “Terima Kasih”
Daniel : “Sama-sama. Bye!"

I end the call with blurry teary eyes....

When I came home, my sis told me that he was thinking of buying for my mum too, however, since he already spent all his money buying flowers (didn't even eat during recessed!), he promised to buy for his Opah on Monday. So thoughtful!

Dear Anakku, thanks for your thought. You have greatly touches my heart today with a small gesture just bcos you wanna show that you loves Mama & Ibu & Opah.

With a new school uniform & a new pair of shoes, Daniel is back to school today. He's Standard 4 now. Very happy & excited to see his friends again, Yap & Mukesh. They even booked a seat for him in the class.

My sis's comment "Daniel nyer lukisan masa aku bwk g Curve ari tu. No. 005 no. 2 dr kiri. hehehehe"

My sis brought Daniel to her company's open day at the Curve somewhere August last year. He entered the drawing/painting competition. He didn't win anything but he's happy to get to play with colors.

My comment.....Yup! ok la tu....haha!! Nampak ada gak 'seni' lukisan tu...

Anakku Daniel, mama is proud of you darling!

"I have Two Mothers"

One thing about Daniel is, he’s not afraid to speak English even though he knows that he’s not fluent at all. I really admire his courage.

Tom, my sis’s friend from Belgium came down in KL for 2 weeks and since my apartment is empty, I let him stayed at my apartment for few days. So, two nights before he “check-out” from my apartment, and since my sis was not in town, Angah (my cousin) & I together with Daniel, we took liberty to take Tom out for dinner.

Daniel is always being friendly to all our friends. While Angah is driving the car, he started asking questions at Angah and myself ie why Uncle Tom can’t speak Malay, why Uncle Tom this and that. And sometime he would try to ask Tom as well and Tom will try to answer him like yes, no or if he doesn’t understand he just laugh and smile at Daniel…

We took Tom to a mamak restaurant at Kota Damansara and as usual, Daniel will order for himself his favorite roti canai. And Tom, surprisingly he too ordered Roti Telur and Kopi! Haha! When the foods all arrived, Daniel suddenly asked me, “mama, macam mana nak cakap kat Uncle Tom suruh dia makan?”, with a small laugh I told him. “Please eat” and he then looked at Tom and said, “Uncle Tom, please eat!” and Tom with a little laughed and said, “ok”. After Daniel finishes his food, he started teasing Uncle Tom and there's a times in broken English he will tell of all about himself ie how old is he, he has Ironman toy etc etc…

On the way back, we passed-by my sis’s office and Daniel knows very well where my sis’s office is. IBU is what Daniel called my sis. With a cheeky smile he then suddenly slowly word by word said in English to Tom, “Uncle Tom, you know my ibu’s office? I show you”. He then, “look, that’s ibu office”, pointing at one of the building along LDP highway. He then went on telling Tom, “I have 2 mothers and 2 fathers” And with his right hand he showed his 2 small fingers to Tom and Tom was “Oh! Yeah?”. And Daniel continued, “Yes. My ibu is Nora Tarmizi, my mother is Sal Tarmizi, my father is Papa Ngah Hisham and Azlan”. Angah (he’s the papa ngah actually) and I, we both just laughed at his proud statement.

The truth is, deep down in my heart I was touched when he proudly mentioned who his parents are. An innocent child who knows that those names that he mentioned are the person, who loves him the most and his loving parent.

Dear Anakku Daniel, please remember that no matter what other people might said about us, we are your moms and your dads. We love you so much and nothing compared our loves. And the most important is “You are my son and I love you” - mama.

The Smiley Face

2010-06-25T16:15:00.021+08:00

Do you remember somewhere early December 2008, there’s a rare phenomenon happened at night, where up in the sky Jupiter, Venus & the moon were so close at each other and formed a beautiful “SMILEY FACE”? On that night, Daniel and I, we saw this smiley face up in the sky while walking to the Pasar Malam. I took a few photos just to mark this rare view which I don’t think we could see it again in hundred years time! Hehe…

As usual, Daniel started asking me questions (he was 7 years old that time)…..why I took photos and why this smiley face suddenly appeared in the sky. I didn’t know what to answer him and I just said that’s Allah’s handwork and he made the smiley face for all of us to see. Hehe…

And he then smiles and with his innocent tone he says “Mama, Allah nak buat semua orang gembira ya malam ni!”

Hmm....Agaknya la ek...sebab later I too saw my neighbors together with their family started coming out from their houses to witness and enjoy the view of the "smiley face".

"Tuhan bagi kita satu parking"

2010-06-21T13:16:00.007+08:00

Last Friday, 18 June 2010, we went out for shopping. My mum discovered a shopping complex (can't remember the name!) at Chow Kit which they sell accessories ie handbags, perfumes, watches and everything under the sun you could find it here, you just named it! haha! My sis was a driver and as usual in KL, to find a parking spot is the biggest difficulties you can find! hmm....

My sis likes to tease daniel and says that it's because of him we have a hard time to find a parking. He was like "why is it because of me?", my sis said because he likes to follow us around. So my mum told him to do some prayer. He then quickly starts his prayer "requesting" from God to grant us an empty car park. We laughed! and amazingly, after a 2nd time we went back at the same route, we found a parking spot! haha!

He then said "Mama, Tuhan dah bagi kita SATU parking ye ma?". We laughed again!

Macam mana mama?

I was driving my car to send Daniel to kumon. The trafic lite at the junction turned red and my car stops exactly at one of the MRR pillar and there's a picture of Tun Hussein Onn. Suddenly Daniel asked me if this man has passed away and I replied him, yes he has passed away. And being a curious person he asked me why this man has passed away, so reluctantly I answered "Dia dah meninggal sebab dah tua. Esok2 kalau mama dah tua, mama pun meninggal".

On the spot with his rounded eyes he looked at me and said "kalau mama meninggal daniel dah tak de mama lagi. Nanti Daniel tinggal sorang. Macam mana mama?". I just smiled and he continued asking me in worried tone "sekarang mama dah tua ke belum?" And I said "sekarang mama muda lagi"..hehe...hhmm...so cute and I'm touched with his thought...

Kalau mama dah tak ada, pandai-pandai la daniel jaga diri ekk...no matter where I am, my love is always with you..

Dear Anakku Daniel....
