Sticky post

Eh how la to make sticky post? Any thoughts?

Fort Rock

Another jalan- jalan entry. Went to Fort Rock, 1.5 hrs drive from Bend last 2 weekends. Saje boring2..Irfan suka keluar2 but kitaorg takde idea nak gi mana. Top picture is te view from far, quite catchy eh..nampak mcm colloseum kat Rome.. a bit la.

Fort Rock used to be a hiding place or shelter for cavemen many (billions?) years ago. You can find a lot of small caves all over Fort Rock, kind of spooky sbb takut la binatang ape2 keluar. We were totally not prepared for the hike, so our attire was so so tak kena la aisey. However we managed to hike to the (top?) yippie.. Enjoy the pics.

Family pic..Irfan doing his cheeky face comey

The hike.. Irfan boring

Yeay dah sampai atas.. is that it momma?

Kat rumah on Father's day

New Car: Honda Prelude 1994

Trip to St. Louis

It was a last minute plan. Abg Ramli invited us to travel together to St. Louis. They went there before, but that was like 7 years ago. For us, we had been passing thru St. Louis many many times on the way back to PA, but we hadn't get a chance to see the city.

The obvious landmark in St. Louis is the Gateway Arch, facing the Mississippi River & Illinois.



On top of the Arch is the Observatory Deck. I was so curious how do we get up there. It is an arch, so do we go sideways in an elevator or what...



Snap some photos before we went up :)

So what's the significant of this Arch? I'd been looking around the place for some info on that. So long long ago, when the British came to America thru the East, they developed the cities around there, like Boston MA, Pittsburgh PA, Washington DC, St. Louis etc. Then I think after the Americans got their independence, they were curious about the land at the West. So they sent Louis & Clark to go on expedition to the West to find out if it was a good land for farming and other things. So the Arch actually signified the expansion to the West side of the America, like 'Gateway to the West'.

In the line to go up. Looks like we were going in a small elevator.

When the door opened... whattt?? Looks like a small spaceshuttle :S
We went up very slow, and I didn't feel like we were going sideways or anything. Just like going on an old train LOL!


Us on top, finally!

After a while, I got dizzy because we were standing on a steep deck. And
my head kept tilting to the side :S


Last posing with the arch..

Fathers Day entry

Sunday was Father's Day. We went out for a cup of ice cream (on me) and later strolled in the park. It was a nice day out.
Since it was father's day, I wanted to cook something special for the daddy of the house. So buat la Zuhri's favorite dish, nasi ayam! Yummylicious la..semua kenyang, semua happy. I didn't get anything for Zuhri this year since we are on tight budget. But I made him something that I called an 'artwork' *perasan mode* and posted it on his facebook, without him knowing of course.
Here...I present my piece of art ....taaaadaaaaa... Happy Fathers Day hubby dearie.


Oh and today, we just realized that we couldn't really afford with just one of us working. Duhhhh!
The BIG bills $$$ just came in. Sigh.. mcm mana ni nak mintak keje balik ke? We are screwed.....

Another Monday..

While I'm working in the junk room..


Irfan will be in the living room playing with our new babysitter Allyson. She's a school teacher, so she's pretty good with babies and kids.








And every half an hour or so I get to see my little baby..

Irfan at 9 months old

Poor my baby Irfan.. since he had Kawasaki mommy tak pernah update his milestones. Not like mommy lupa ke ape..it's just that I didn't feel like writing anything. I was too depressed. Day after day I was just praying hard for Irfan. Now that he is showing signs of improvements, I can take a deep breathe. Alhamdulillah. We will fight through it together, Irfan!

So Irfan is 3 months post Kawasaki. He has changed A LOT. Really a lot.

• He has 6 teeths all together. Four on top and two at the bottom.
• He can it up very well without support on June 9
• He started to crawl really fast on June 12 (on his 9 month bday!)
• He likes to touch his 'pee pee' when we change him. Aaa ni yg tak suka..dia tarik2 pee pee dia, boys are always boys i guess tsk tsk ;)
• He will dance and shake his head when we play music for him.. so cute
• Since he is so mobile now, dia dah pernah jatuh katil once.. didnt even cry but Zuhri and I yg rasa nak pengsan
• Suka baca buku.. kalau baca buku mmg dia akan stare and really examine the pictures. He likes to listen to me reading too.
• Main peekaboo is one of his fav activity especially peekaboo bawah selimut
• His favorite toys are remote tv, my laptop and my blackberry.. wah anak mama kecik2 demanding dahhhhh aiiishhhhhhh hi- tech la budak kecik ni.
• An empty mineral water bottle can entertain him for hours!
  
• I think he's getting a bit skinier but longer...mmm not liking it
• He has nicknames !! Haha ni yg klaka..we call him Yubi, Yumi skg ni...huhu

We love our little Irfan. Nine months and counting!
