The Proud Mama

I'm a 35 year old woman brought into this world on February 23rd 1971 and married to the same man for 13 years, mother to 2 hilarious, extremely handsome boys and one beautiful baby boy, who was totally NOT planned, but who turned out to be the Joy of our lives, loves to drink ice tea and hot chocolate from Starbucks. There is more to me than just being a mother, I just don't remember any of it.

..: Respect - The Wave :..

When one stays home with her children, one learns valuable lessons that one would never have learned out in the workplace. For instance, today I learned that rice + cauliflower + carrot soup = shit that smells like a perm.

The smell of a perm arising from the poop of Afdlin's butt has brought back a flood of memories.

Permenant wave, memories.

I was only 12 years old the first time I was allowed the honor of having my hair wrapped up in rows of curlers and doused with horrific smelling chemicals with the promise of "permanently wavy" hair.

It took hours, but when it was finished, OH MY GOD, I looked so HOT. At least I thought I did. I remember that day in vivid detail. Lucky for you, I'll spare you most of those details, but let's just say, when my cousin was done administering The Perm, it no longer stinks.

I left the nyonya house thinking I was the most beautiful girl that ever lived and I could not wait to go over granny's home and show off my perm to the neighborhood gang and cousin.

The minute we arrived at granny's, I went running to find The Gang so I could brag about how hot I looked and brag.I.Did. I was a total bitch about it. "Tengok rambut aku tak macam rambut korang!" And so on, and so forth.

This is where my memory gets a little fuzzy. All I remember is one minute I'm bragging to The Gang about my perm, the next minute... STRAWBERRY MILK IS ALL UP IN MY FRESHLY PERMED HAIR!!

I started screaming and crying because, you're not supposed to wash your hair for 48 hours! I ran home to my mom, washed my hair and watched my dreams of PERMANENTLY WAVED HAIR go down the drain.

Ah, the memories a little baby shit can stir up.

God, I LOVED that perm, all two hours of it.

...: Pak Pak Bing Bing! :..

It's DH nephew's wedding and it's gonna be a very busy weekend for me. I love weddings, I don't really know why, but I do. The canopy were setup, the bunga rampai were prepared, the bunga paha were all done up. I just hope it will be a better weather for the next two days.

And I've prepared these for tomorrow....

..: Stuff and more stuff :..

It's funny how it's easier for me to just sit here and write when I'm not feeling good. When my writing is more of an emotional puking it's just... better somehow.

Things are better now. Significantly better. The anxiety is back under control now that I'm back on track and subsequently I'm handling almost everything better. I still have no motivation to do things around the house.

It's been a little tough with Afzal this year. I thought he was 100% ready for K1. He was really ready which was just so reassuring. The 1st and 2nd day of school went smoothly. But on the 3rd day he refused to step into the class and was screaming and crying...and it was the same yesterday. It really scares me. It has been such an amazing year for him last year. The teachers adore him and he had been doing very well. Had a talk with his new teacher and nursery teacher..both of them thinks its due to the migration from 2hrs to 4hrs session. The first 2 days they did nothing and he could have bored him.

I did ask him why he refused to go to school and his answer was "BORING". The teachers did assure me he is going to be fine. To give him a couple more day. Infact today he was ok. I am trying to have faith that he'll be fine..I know he will be fine.

On the other hand, Asyraf received this over the weekend. Well Done son! Next year must get one more ok? :) . Despite his mischeifs, he never failed to make us proud of him. I am praying he will keep up his good work.

Unfortunately, it was very sad that Mama was not able to witness this due to work commitment. :( I know you would understand this.. I wouldn't miss it for anything if not for work. *sigh* - I AM A BAD MOM!!!

Motivation. I’d do anything for a nice scoop of motivation.

..: New Year :..

Dear Frens,

My apology if I didn't reply to any of your smses and missed many of your calls. Thank you for all the wishes and Happy Belated New Year to everyone!

I celebrated 2006 ending with a germ pit in my home. The boys were down with fever.

Asyraf and Afzal were coughing and sneezing and sniffling like crazy, and they seems to feel absolutely miserable.

Afdlin was a little irritable he was down with fever too. Not sure if it’s related to his teeth that are coming in, but he was also sneezing.

I was feeling a little bit run down myself. I had been sneezing every so often and my head was hurt. Of course, everyone knows that mothers don’t get sick days because whether we work or stay home, we’re still on call 24 hours a day soI don’t really have time to be sick, especially if the kids are. Thank god, it was a mild one for me.

Alhamdullilah Asyraf and Afzal were well enough in time for school this morning. I can’t believe that it’s 2007 already. Time just keeps going by faster and faster every year that I get a little older.

I don’t remember what my resolutions for 2006 were, but I’m sure that I didn’t keep many - if any - of them. I have two resolutions for 2007. One is a resolution that I stole from a friend, to “make the effort” in all areas of my life. It’s such a perfect resolution and takes some of the pressure off of a list of rules that I won’t live up to in the end.

The other resolution is to read more. I’m still appalled at how few books I read this past year. Yes, I have a 3 kids, but that’s no excuse, I can still read more than I did.

I thought about doing a year in review. One of those amazing “this has been a year to remember” kind of posts. However, I just really am grateful that 2006 is leaving. Good riddance.

2006 brought…
- Lots of Prosperous to Perfect Frosting...

- I made a big step to resign from my job and run Perfect Frosting full time.

- I made new friends, lost some old ones.

- I grew closer to some people and further from others. I learned that life has no guarantees, so you better live everyday for all it is worth.

- I found wisdom in friends when I couldn’t see it myself and hopefully taught a thing or two.

- I learned what is important to my business and what is just filler.

- I mended fences that were broken and put up fences that needed to keep toxicity out. I found forgiveness where it wasn’t deserved and gave it when I still hurt.

- I discovered that business and friendship are not mutually exclusive. You can love the ones you work with.

- I learned that I can live through the hardest experience of my life.

- I found acceptance among people I admire and friendship among peers I adore.

- I gave more than I should have at some points and held back at times when I should have given more.

- I learned that you have to say you love someone if you love them. Tomorrow is not a guarantee.

- I learned not to lean too far over the edge of a hot tub to hug someone or you might fall in.

- I received love from more people than I could ever imagine and hope I gave it back.

I lived and I am definitely ready to take on 2007.

Oh..and I would definitely not forget Asyraf's 2006 Birthday Bash!
