Raiyan the baller

In an attempt to get the walker drama out of my mind, I played some ball with Uda in his room today and I have to say I'm quite the shooter babah! Look: (the ball went in by the way, in case you're wondering)

When I score, I even do the victory run just like how I see them do on ESPN:

Do I look like the making of an NBA star?

My heartbreak Part II

I really tried to let go babah. I really did... Look at me making an effort to play with Alisha:

But as soon as I saw this happen:

My emotions got the better of me and I just can't help myself:

Told you it's too much to ask for me to let go:

Sorry! I guess Alisha still has to share the walker until I'm ready!

My first car!

WOOHOOO!

Finally, I can move around on my own! I know abang threw a fuss about me using his walker but come on abang.. move on! This thing is mine now! And I'm loving it!

If it means anything, I really DO appreciate you letting me use it though... and I promise I'll take good care of it ok. Love you!

My heartbreak Part I

Now I kind of know how you must have felt when you sold your first car babah. Today Alisha started using my baby walker and I was hysterical. I mean I know I should let go of that walker seeing how I'm way too big and heavy for it and I know Alisha needs it more now, but something inside of me just kept saying that it is MY walker with MY memories ... the walker brings me back to the days when I was learning to move around on my own... to not have to be carried all the time.. to be able to reach for things when before I couldn't.. to start discovering life. Oh such sweet times.. and now Alisha is going to go through that and I can't help feeling jealous...I just can't accept that I have to let it go. Sob sob.

Have fun with the walker Alisha and take good care of it ok. I hope it will bring you the best times of your life like it did me.

Another visit to home

We visited our home again today babah. You'll be happy to know that everything is ok with the house, except as usual, there were countless tahi cicaks-yuck! I slept the whole afternoon on my dinasour bed. But in the late afternoon, I played outside and Alisha also took in the fresh air with Auntie Ro pushing her around the neighbourhood in her stroller.

Apart from the fact that Alisha started warming up again, we had a fun day today. I know mama would have preferred to take us to a public playground, but we don't really want to risk it with me still coughing and now Alisha is kinda catching it too. But we really appreciated playing in our old neighbourhood anyway mama! Thanks!!

Love you so much, your Raiyan

Oh how I've grown

Hi Babah,
Seeing how I turned SEVEN months 2 days ago (my how time flies huh), I thought I'd update you on my milestones to date.

1) I have my first tooth already! Actually it began creeping up about 2 weeks ago. But now the whole tooth is sitting there on the bottom part of my mouth! Does this mean I have to start going to the dentist?
2) I can sit up! Well at least for about 10 seconds before I fall over. But it's a start!
3) I can push my body forward using my feet (that's called crawling right?)

But as you can see from the pictures, what I tend to do is I try to crawl forward, then somehow I end up in a sitting position! Look!

Sorry to say though Babah, that mama just checked my temperature and it's 37.2, which is probably a tad warm for a small babe like me. Seems me and abang are ping-ponging these icky germs to each other. I hope it ends at me. Guess I'll see Dr. Chan one more time tomorrow!

That's it for now, babah. Love you and see you soon!

What a day we had!

Hi babah,

What a full day we had today compared to days before this! In the late morning, mama picked us up and we zoomed to the doctor (again) before his clinic closes at 1145 and reached there just when they were closing! Thankfully, he didn't mind seeing abang, and so abang managed to het hold of his cough and phlegm medicine; yay! I hope he feels better soon. I know how much he dislikes not going to school. I can't remember what happened for the next hour or so because I was fast asleep in the car, but when I woke up I was at that strange but yet familiar house again with the flowered walls and the thick egg yolk coloured carpet.. and then there was that old lady with the orange hair again, whom mama keeps saying is my "nenek girl"... I was still scared and crying at the beginning when I first saw her but it got better towards the day. She was very very nice though. Even though I was screaming away, she still continued to walk around and talk to me and played these games with me. Nevertheless, you know how picky I am, I still made a fuss.. I'll try to be better tomorrow ok!

So Mama left us there the whole afternoon while she went to work. Me and abang played and watched Monstes Inc and I slept once too. Then around 5:00, Auntie Nor came with Kaka Zaty, Abang Azeem, Abang Mu'eez and Abang Qawee! Abang was soo ecstatic to see them. I guess I'm not that fun to be around with if compared to those guys.. So with abang busily playing with them, I happily got one on one time with mama :):) we ended up napping all the way til she sungkai..

Abang kinda mengamok when it was time for our cousins to balik cos as usual, before they left, they brought him driving around the block in their van, but this time round, it was their NEW VAN with a TV and a DVD player. So it was no surprise that he didn't want to leave the car. He cried for quite a while after mama managed to drag him out of there.. and funnily enough once he went back upstairs and saw me he stopped crying! (Well at least I'd like to think it was me..)

See told you we did so much today! No wonder we both fell asleep by 9:00 tonite! Good Night Babah, we love you!

Party Pooper

Hi babah, Abang Ilyas is having a birthday party today and as you can see, I was so dolled up already (hey there are loads of boys at the party.. Ilyas, Eljaz, Arief, Khaleed, Adam, Harith, Zarith, Daim.. so of course I want to look my best!) .. BUT NOW, mama just told Auntie Yati that we're not going! Because Abang Raiyan started coughing again and started warming up also. I have a sneaky feeling that he got it back from me though.. kesian abang. And I'm sure he would have loved to go to the party too, mama said there'll be bouncers and waddling pools and cake cutting.. and knowing abang, if he still went to the party, he would definitely insist to go into the pool with everyone eles so mama takut that the other babies might catch it from him. Sigh.. it would be such a blast if we went.

We're sorry we can't make Abang Ilyas' party Auntie Yati.. we really wish we can but we hope there will be another one yeah? Maybe Abang Arief's 2nd B'day?

Hope the birthday boy had the best time ever! Take loads of pics ok!

Thanks for the stuff babah!

Yay! Mama got back from her trip and brought me a book called "Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What do you see?", a DVD on "A trip to San Diego Zoo" and Oral B Toy Story toothpastes!!!

She said that you chose the stuff for me when she went there to visit you. I love them!!!! I bring my panda bear book, along with Polar Bear, Polar Bear What do you hear? everywhere I go. And I must have watched the San Diego Zoo DVD like 10 times already! Watching it reminds me of the time when we went to the Singapore Zoo together! Can't wait to do that again.

Thanks again for all the stuff babah. Love youuuuuu sooo much!

Ps. I promise I will try to be a good boy for mama ok. Check out my best behaviour pose:

Mama's back!

Mama was missing again for 5 days. She left with her big orange bag on Saturday morning and came back on Wednesday night, right in the middle of me and abang sleeping. At first I thought it was a dream, but when I opened my eyes properly, there she was smiling right at me! :)

Abang told me that she went on an airplane to go somewhere for work. I remember her doing that a few times when I was smaller, but now that I'm older and used to seeing her all the time, I kinda missed her when she was gone.

What was worse, I fell ill just when she left! Nenek and Auntie Ro took me to the doctor and he said that my throat was red. Just like abang's before me. So obviously he gave it to me. Hmph, told him to control those slurpy tomato kisses. As irresistable as I am!

But don't worry babah, I took all my medicine like a good girl and felt better in no time!

Oh whilst mama was away (with the camera), Usu took loads of pics of me on her new camera. Here's proof that I felt better already:
