Raji & Arvind

June was a month for many weddings ... one of which is my dear pal from NTU ... Raji. So to the wedding reception in Singapore, we go ... yupe, Me, Nazzer & Ashraf. How can Ashraf not go ... but where is he???

Here are some of group photos we took at the reception ... did i mention the food was good ... yupe ... it was ... especially the lassi and dessert ... yummy ... opps, I digress ... back to the reception once again ...
Here is a big group photos ... make it a NTU Alummi with lecturers and graduates in tow ... in front are the couple's parents ... heheh ... see the glee on their face that their children have tied the knot ... it binds not just the couple but 2 family ...
Some more photos ... without the lecturers (with the exception of the bridegroom ... he's a lecturer but not counted here :P)
The happy couple ... see how radiant my dear fren Raji is ... the bliss of marriage and happiness ahead ... many wonderful things ahead :)

Hahah ... finally in the action ... Ashraf & Raji ... psst ... Raji brought Ashraf all around the reception and he doesn't mind ...

But most important from all of us ... wishing Raji & Arvind all the wonderful times ahead ... it will not always be a bed of roses. There are ups and downs ... and May the bond you have grow stronger each day!!!

7 months.... I'm flying like superman???

See... no hands...
Posing for man of steel? : )










Ashraf says ".... Superman not too smart le... wears undergarment outside... yet never cover his face.. Ha ha ha... shame..shame....."







Hmmmm.... Do you smell it?
Let me remove my socks first...












Look at the way he sleeps now... Ashraf will be most comfortable in this postition... He's more than happy to have the whole basinet by himself.... he'll be changing position every one moment or so.

away on NPCC camp ...

It used to be Nazzer who has to go away. Now it's my turn to be away from my dear son. Just a few hours into the camp, i missed Ashraf so much. My first NPCC camp and I wasn't sure of what to expect. I was very relieved to see that the camp is on auto-pilot, meaning that the Cadet Inspectors are very able and run everything themselves. So in other words, teachers have to be around for the 'in-case' problems. So here I am so very tempted to bring Ashraf over ... should i? Or shouldn't i?

Ashraf walking ... soon, insya'Allah

When supported, Ashraf is stepping forward. In other words, menapak!!! So to help him being more mobile, Ashraf got a walker to play with. Sincerely it's a wonderful thing to have. At least now that we are staying at our place at Queenstown. So when I am cooking and Ashraf is away, he will be playing with his toys on the mattress. Now he can be in his walker and I can still keep a closer eye on him.

This photo is taken before he sleeps. Can see his sleepy 'sepet' eyes? Will add more pictures of him in action with his walker ...

diaper change time!!!

It's time for a diaper change right before sleep time tonight. Here is Ashraf with his Abi who is changing the diaper for Ashraf. Focus on Ashraf's hands ... he sure wanna help his Abi with the diaper change.

See how enthusiatic he is ... he kept pushing his Abi's hands away. Shortly after this, Ashraf rolled over and played with the bolster on his side. Now changing diapers is like a wrestling session with this little one. He sure is spunky and very strong!!!

hot, hot, hot!

it's hot, hot, hot outside! can you feel the heat?

Cak!!!

Peek-ka-BOO!!
Sigh ... can anyone work with this smile??? I can't for sure ... :P

Future soccer player ???

This is the famous Nakata Hidetoshi, soccer player from Japan. Was the AFC Asian player of the year for 1997-1998. Not to mention many other honours too ...
Here is Muhammad Ashraf once again ... but isn't he simply adorable!!! Now he sure can pass off as a Japanese boy. And does he look like Nakata above? According to his Tok Mukthi, he does. What's ur take?

It's playtime!!!

Ashraf is so happy after a day out with his Atuk who came all the way from Malacca. And play and play he did ... see how happy he is at the end of the day :)

His gums are itchy again ... he would be cranky. Solution is a his gum cum teeth massager (in blue) Put it over a finger and place it on the gums and rub nicely from side to side ... he enjoys it so much. Isn't it obvious!
Playtime with Abi dear ... he's on top of the world ...
So the soccer fever do not just transend the adults. Ashraf got it too ... but version comes in the pink and blue beach ball which he will kick and grab. Gearing up for soccer ... guys, watch out! Soccer player in the making :P

Celebrate Cammy Birthday

Abi's Friend daughter, Camilia had her birthday bash last Saturday... @ Pasir Downtown East...
See the picts below..







Ashraf excited and his own way of saying
"Happy Brithday.. Camilia!!"











Two proud mothers...

"Let me walk... I want to walk..." Ashraf cried

inching forward

Muhammad Ashraf is now very active ... he will take a short nap and wake up before Maghrib. This is taken after his nap and before his bedtime. He is not exactly crawling now but is slowly inching forward bit by bit ...

Here he is, aiming for the handphone. In fact, he can move and change direction 180 degrees. Yes ... it's true!!!

Salam manis untuk Aunty Angah yang menyambut hari lahirnya hari ini ... Semoga Allah memanjangkan umurnya, memberi dia kesihatan dan murahkan rezekinya. Amin ...

Salam sayang dari kami sekeluarga, Muhammad Ashraf, Linda & Nazzer

Abi's return

Here is Muhammad Ashraf ... sleeping serenely in his swing, being rocked gently by the light breeze ... seems just right a photo to take ... notice how his right hand is above his left one. Sleeping in faith ...
Here is when one cannot resist the charm and smiles of this little prince. Hehehe ... can't resist ... so clever of him to smile just for the camera ...

Abi just returned from his Korea trip and how much he misses his little junior. Both of them slept with each other clothes' at night. Yupe ... they do. But alhamdullilah, Ahmad has been a dear boy while his Abi was away ...
Can you guess what he is doing??? He was in the midst of talking and talking and talking ... see how cheeky he is ... His conversation is full of bas, bus and baba ... and other combinations ... will find a way to post his voice recordings online. It's a joy to listen ...

Abi is away on Korea Biz Trip

Now... I ready to start crawling... Becareful world.!!









He he he... see how cheeky I look now...









Here's my dearest sisters... Fashionable Kak Alang (Aliyah) & Caring Kak Cik (Hanis)












Here's Abi with Uncle Suhaimi.. and his 1 year old son, Aiman (my future soccer kaki)...
:)
I miss you Abi!

Adlin & Aslinda & Zul

Alhamdullilah ... dalam diam-diam rupanya kawanku sewaktu bercuti di Chiang Mai telah selamat bersalin!!! Congratulations Zul & Aslinda for the beautiful girl, Adlin ZuLaikha! May Allah bless her with good health & good future. May Adlin be a fillial child! Amin ... Wanna see her baby??? Look for the link Adlin & Aslinda & Zul ... you will directed to their blog. Hehehe ...

Tak sangka almost a year passed since our trip to Chiang Mai and now both of us are proud parents. Hmm ... should gather once in a while ... heheh then can exchange news and all.

Sweet 6 months

Syukur Alhamdullilah ... now Muhammad Ashraf is already 6 months old. Dah pandai tiarap, pandai ambil hati orang ... dah pandai sapa orang pun. Alhamdullilah, he sure is friendly. Looks the steering wheel ... just smile and laugh in glee as he eyes those indicators on the dashboard!!! Perhaps this is an indication that he will work for his driving license much earlier than his parents.

Alhamdullilah, Ashraf has grown well. Only a bit of flu and cough now ... perhaps he missed his grandparents (hint, hint ... daddy, when are you coming over?). Perhaps also the weather. Whatever it is, I am getting it too. Hope to get it from him so that he doesn't have to suffer. Do pray for his speedy recovery.

Also, syukur alhamdullilah ... both of us are greately in debt to You, Allah for the blessings you have given us. No doubt there were some setbacks ... You have given us strength and open our eyes towards new areas and angles. Syukur alhamdullilah for the house and our dearest son ...

Rock a bye baby on the tree top ...

Many, many compliments to Mummy Nourol, Mummy Ilah and Mummy Sabrina for this cradle. Alhamdullilah, the renovations are done and I can finally set up the cradle. Been waiting for a long time for this!!!

See ... see ... he can't get enough of mobiles!!! Serious. He wasn't really happy that he can't reach the ducks but just imagine the glee on his face as he tried and tried. Will try to capture that trying moment. Mummies, wait, k. Once everything has settled down, will do a small gathering at my new place and you can see the cradle in person. The throne ...

Tok Bak is back ...

Syukur alhamdullilah, Bak returned from Qatar for a 2-week break. As you can see, he wasted no time in bonding with his first grandson. Ashraf has grown to be pampered with his Tok Bak as Tok Bak spend lots of time with Ashraf.

See here ... Ashraf can't seem to have enough of his Tok Bak. He now recognises his grandpa even though he was away for a few months. See the power of blood ties!!!

Now Tok Bak has returned to Qatar with promises of a return later this October. Tok Bak even promised to get a job in Singapore so that he can see Ashraf often.

Alhamdullilah, Ashraf is blessed with grandparents who love him a lot. Even though his late grandmother, dearest Mummy, is not able to meet him, I am sure she does look in on him every now and then in spirit.

Roll over ...

Syukur Alhamdullilah ... after so many tries, he finally managed to roll over onto his stomach. Now he is able to lift up his head ... see how happy he is ...

Here, Ashraf is with his cousin, Syamil. Heheh ... cute eh, dua-dua baby nie ...
Amacam ... handsome tak???

Atuk with grandson!

Hmm ... why is dear Ashraf is smilling from ear to ear with his arms outstretched???

Oh ... Atuknya ada rupanya. Ish ... manjanya dengan Atuknya ...
Aiks ... cannot sit still. Just count 1, 2, 3, 4 and at the count of 5, he will go to a standing position. Hahah ... timang diri sendiri rupanya ...

Bergambar sebelum mandi ... heheh bukan main posing lagi. Amacam ... ada tokoh gambar dulu-dulu tak?

Eh ... senyum lebar anak molek nie ...
Ssh ... dia tidur. Jangan bising, bising tau

@ Tok Uchu Munah's place

Allayarham Tok Uchu Lelaki telah meninggal dunia pada Jumaat lalu dan selamat dikebumikan pada Sabtu. Innalillah Wainalillahirojiun ... Kami bertiga hanya dapat datang menziarahi Tok Uchu Munah Ahad lalu. Alhamdullilah, berceria Tok Uchu Munah apabila dia mendukung Ahmad. Dan Ahmad pula pandai ambil hati Tok Uchu sambil menagah-agahkannya. Di gambar bawah ini ada pula Ahmad bersama Pakcik Akmalnya ... wah ... berbual apa ye.
Dirumah Tok Uchu, Ahmad sungguh aktif. Hanya tidur dalam setengah jam, dah bangun sibuk melayani orang yang datang. Terutama Abang Mukti & keluarga ... Eh ... Abang Mukti kata Ahmad mirip Nakata, pemain bola Jepun yang kacak. Nanti saya cari gambar dan kita lihat ye ...
Disini pula ... aunty-aunty glamour Ahmad ... Aunty Fifi, Aunty Nurul and Aunty Fia. Aunty Fia belum ada mood nak bergambar lah ...
