IMG_8385

during the 2nd day of raya, we went down to melaka, 4 cars, convoyed with my family. bawak my mom to visit her side. she s from melaka, was born and dibesarkan di sana, tp anak2nya tak ngaku orang melaka boleh? hahahaha coz we dont live there, we went back there like once a year jer.

itupun sebab bawak parents to visit the family members yang tinggal di sana…

anw i m not gonna change my style of writing just bcoz i m the finalist of Best Parenting Blog. i dont talk bout babies stuff, kids thingy at every of my entries. that s so not Redmummy! the readers kenal saya sebagai seorang yang menulis tanpa halangan, ai write bout everything, pasal anak2 is part of it too.

So, that s my sister Nana with her son, Khyre. the boy is so funny…………bila nampak camera, automatic he gives that pose. sooooo cute ler budak kecik nih.

We went back down to KL after the melaka trip at 2am. kids tidur sepanjang Melaka – KL, i watched the movie, August Rush, nice movie. 2 kali tengok, 2 kali menitik2 ayo mato.

The reason entry agak kurang coz aku masih lagi bercuti, in fact most malaysians yang cuti melambak2 tu sambung cuti for the whole of this week. Raya mar! kerana itulah saya malas nak update blog. Wpun aku membongkang je kat umah.

n now aku ketar2 jari ngadap blog balik, trying to give u lots of entries back. ngah amik moooodddddddddd marii!

But hey, dont forget to cast your vote for Redmummy.com. Camne ke aku nak remind korang vote ni ek, coz menda ni kena vote at every 2 hours. Ingat sendiri lah yer…support sket RM. Nuffnang Regional Blog Awards to be held in Spore on 23rd October!

Thanks yo!

so anw, there are 2 ways for you to vote RM. one is via Nuffnang Blog Awards, the site url is awards.nuffnang.com . Im competing with  4 other blogs from Australia, Philiphine and Singapore. Think i m the only Malaysian from that category. i think, not sure. so you support RM, pls cast your vote. without your vote, aku pi Singapore sekadar memeriahkan suasana je lah gamaknya. ater korang tak vote, kalah ler teman kang 🙁

But in order for you to vote RM, you oso need to vote other categories as well, so just click click click. i know you may say...’tak penah dengo pun blog2 lain tuh’

but remember, negara luar lain pun tak penah dengo gak RM 🙂

My problem is, my readers mostly skang ni ngah bercuti raya, most of malaysians masuk cuti dari kerja on next monday onwards, so saya sudah kerugian votes yang beribu2 dari korang per day. so takpelah, redha…kita usaha tengok sejauh mana RM boleh pergi from your votes. at least i m the finalist already.

image

The second way of voting is via my blog. on the right side bar lam blog nih, you can see the shortcut to the voting column. it s at the bottom of my nuffnang’s iklan. tepi kanan tu yer.

image

again, korang kena vote category2 lain jugak, some of them are from Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and Philiphines. Click2 your vote, till you are in Best Parenting Blog’s category. sample as the above.

Move your cursor to Redmummy @ Redmummy.com 🙂

n you are done! you can place your votes again, in 2 hours time. Keep coming back for voting RM. I ll be down to Singapore on 23rd October 2009 (this is the date of my son’s birthday!)

TIME: 5.30 pm
VENUE: Pan Pacific Singapore Grand Ballroom
DRESSCODE: Black Tie

********************

So it s time to ask for help from my readers and bloggers frens, all over the world. Coz 50% of your votes will help me to win the Best Parenting blog. well, i donno why m i being nominated for the Best Parenting Blog, coz korang yang nominate saya. Few told me that they have nominated me for few categories, but the judges think that i m suitable for the Best Parenting Blog’s category. 🙂

Hey, after all i m a mother of 2 kids hokey!

Remember, this is a personal blog, RM is not just talking bout how you do the diapers, how to feed your children how to blahblahblah…i m writing as what i experience the process of our life, not the manual thingy. My 2 kids, abang 8 years old and Gegirl, 5 years old are famous in RM, you guys love them so much, seperti mana kamu cinta reading this blog.I talk bout the development of kids, a parental thing throughout my experience as a mother, Sirman as their dad. We are the Red Family.

Rerasanya, being mother, the recent case yang paling menyayat hati kita semua is when my son Abang was confirmed positive for H1N1. That story, the info the knowledge everything is to be shared with all of you.

If i m the right winner, itu rezeki saya, but if not, i m oso one of the lucky blogger, after Project Alpha,  the Nuffnang Blog Awards is one of my biggest achievement. Dear Blog’s entry was meant for this purpose actually. For my lovely red readers, thanks for your vote.

See you in Singapore. Jangan lupa, keep on voting RM for every 2 hours :). Closing date for voting is on 11th October, pastuh, enggak bisa vote lagik yeah.

this time nya balik kampung umah mak Sirman, aku kena licin and kemaskan dapur coz menantu pompuan yakni birasku sedang sarat nak menunggu hari beranak and 2 sisters in law aku pulak beraya di umah mertua gak n sudah pulang ke rumah sendiri. kerna itu aku tidak berbaju kurung di malam raya pertama, kena buat keje dapur daaaa….

coz family sirman ni kakaknya 2 orang jer, lagi 7 lelaki koooooo!

IMG_8236

hari2 biasa my mom in law tinggal ngan 3 anak bujangnya, so rasanya cuti sekolah hujung tahun nih, aku akan bawak mak mertua aku tinggal ngan aku sekejap…

IMG_7965

ibu bapaku yang sudah semakin tua. sedih lah pagi raya semalam, pautan pelukku pada depa makin kuat dan gugur bulu mata palsu saya demi tangisan cinta anak pada ibu bapanya…

IMG_8130

pulang ke rumah mertua…bermaafan bersama adik beradik sirman, itupun ada 2 orang turn umah mertua jugak. Ibu mertua saya juga semakin tua tetapi masih kuat orangnya.

IMG_8136

anak2 aku dah tau kena q ikut turutan pangkat, daddy will lead and followed by mommy then abang n gegirl….bukat setakat bersalam, cara2 mohon maaf pun kami ajar gak kat budak2  2 orang kecik nih..

baju melayu sirman and abang, kain elanya ku beli di Jakarta. ada lagi 2 pasang lagi baju melayunya aku beli kat sana, complete pasni anto jahit jer. baju kurung merah aku n gegirl kubeli kainnya di Mumbai India. A colleague was based in Mumbai, so kukirim kain sari merah tu. memandangkan kain sari kan lam 5 meters, dapatlah buat baju gegirl gak, tp untuk kain gegirl, aunty yeli tailorku carikkan bagi nampak seiras. ha gituu…

so concept kami anak beranak, the gold and red ahhahahah! aku dah tentulah sokmonya merah wpun raya tetap gak harus merah.

Serba ringkas our 1 Syawal, kol 1 pagi baru balik VA, capek gilos!

Duit Raya untuk yang wajib menerima…

IMG17411

ai changed RM1250 for this year’s raya. lebihan rezeki Allah beri, dipanjangkan untuk yang wajib menerima…

1. kanak-kanak

2. orang tua

memandangkan budak2 zaman skang dah pandai demand, yang jauh2 bau bacang tu, dulu dapat seringgit, anak2 jiran mak ajah, mertua aku nya budak2 kecik yang datang umah tu yang kami tak kenal, biasanya kami bagi singgitlah dulu, tp la ni top up 2 inggit for each envelope.

next year kalau naik lagi ‘pangkat income’ aku, aku naikkan lagi to 3 inggit plak per envelope.

lain2, duit 5 inggit and 10 inggit untuk yang terdekat.

IMG17414

for our 2 mothers and father, tetap ada, setiap satu dari anak dan menantu…

resmi tetiap taun gak, tugas isi duit raya, the kids and sirman amik job nih. aku jadi mak mandorrrr! hari ini kami beraidilfitri bersama kaum keluarga di kedua belah rumah, kemudian bertinggung dok di umah mertua aku seharian. oh saya hanya beraya dekat jer, di Bandar Tun Razak umah mak ajah

ramai wonder Sirman orang mana…dekat je di Klang.

1 Syawal yang penting, tidak kira di mana jauh dekat kampung kita, as long as bersama keluarga tercinta, itulah yang paling berharga.
