Of Many Things...

Sist and her kids have gone back to her husband's hometown. Mom is alone again at home. I called her up and we had a really nice talk.

We talked about many things. Baby Ryan is growing up fast and getting so funny and bikin gerigitan. He gets so cheeky at trying not to get caught hiding the paper plane he plan to throw at the neighbour's cat. Or gets teary eyed and using his baby-power of being adorable and run quickly to hug you as some kind of a sorry act just before you are about to do some spanking. Bless him. Ian is his usual self, not really care much about the fuss and everything except for a must have Milo on every trip to the grocery store and the latest i'm-not-quite-sure-what-the-name-was candy kids are apparently gets so crazy nowadays.

Nanak is also still at her usual rant of "Mama, kau sayang aku?" or "Oh, kau sayang baby sama Ian seja skg kan. Aku nda mau tolong kau suda lah." everytime she's getting in a quarrel with anyone in the house. Typical Nanak. Adi Kecil is getting more cunning each day. Being good to you if she want to tag along when you are going out and ignore you right away once she's safely home with all the goodies she manage to put her hands on.

And it was Christmas mood. Mom was asking whether to change the green christmas tree to a white one this year, on plans for a type of dishes during family gathering and what I should get for the kids for christmas presents and so on. Looking forward to being back home now. :)  

I told Mom about the singing performance in the company and I was pleasantly suprised that she actually remember one of the song.

"Saya nyanyi tu lagu yang saya ikut pertandingan di Central dulu tu." 
"I Turn To You kah?" She said.

It was like 5 years ago or something. She has always been so supportive of me in singing.

Then I'm not quite sure how we came to the matter of marriage and kids and when I gently told her that I may not be getting married in near future, or maybe ever, she was still quite a sport about it like how she did all this while. I guess she always know that I have my own way of looking at things in life and she respected that. What suprised me the most was when I told her that if I never get to meet someone who likes me enough to marry me, then I may want to consider just having a baby and be a single mother, we were actually discussing about how to make it happen! Haha...but still as a mother, I know she would like it for me to settle down with a nice guy and have a good marriage but at the same time, still open with anything that I may decide. Love her so much. :)

When we get to the point of talking about the recent accident, I think that we were both trying to hold our emotion and trying not to cry on the phone. The thought of Nanak getting hurt and scared like that really makes me and Mom emotional and very protective. It's just obvious even among the family member that we both really thought of Nanak as our own daughter and that we love her so much.

I was trying to hold my tears when Mom recall the story of the accident and also the kindness of the guy and his girlfriend who help them all throughout the entire process of taking them to the hospital, waiting up in the hospital together, even asking Mom to just rest and took charge of consulting with the doctors and sending them home. When Mom was at loss for words feeling so touch by their kindness, they actually went and hug Mom just to say that everything is allright and checking up on Nanak after a few days just to see how she's doing. We were just feeling so lucky and grateful to meet someone like them. I told Mom that we should invite them to our family gathering this year. I really want to meet these two lovely souls in person.

And...after almost two hours talking on the phone, nasib baik dua-dua mau p kancing kalau nda tia pandai putus-putus bercerita. Haha

O Holy Night

Begone with the failed attempt of blood donation, i decide to get on with the Christmas mood & also the fact that i'm flying to KK tomorrow! yeay! ;)



I really hope you guys will enjoy this song just like i did. ;) I know i should not have any favorite, because it's Christmas songs, and we should love it all...but off all the songs, i love O Holy Night the most. ;) I love all the version done to the song. You should listen to Mariah Carey or Christina Aguilera...or Celine Dion for a soprano effect. ;) or even just the simple choir version.

Back when i was a kid, me and my elder sister used to be in the Stella Maris Children Liturgy & join the Christmas choir every year. I can proudly say that our group is one of the best Christmas choir group around KK. Uncle Neil Mah is our music leader. Trust me, he's very good. Being a kid & not so large group, we only did 1st voice, 2nd & 3rd voice but it was very very good already. Owh i miss it so much.

We went to all the YB's houses & also non-YB of course & i remember all the foods were delicious. hihi Tau la ba budak2 kan...asal makanan sja trus gembira, ada lagi ready sda plastik di poket mo tapau...hihihi sampai rumah kasi baris susun tu minuman kotak..gembira sda tgk byk2...semangat lagi mau pegi besok.

Have a merry merry Christmas to all of you..and if you can't find it in you..you will find it in someone else...so we all have to share our bits of everything during this season. And also to remember the reason behind the celebration & not simply drinking lots and lots of tapai.

Again, have a wonderful time especially with your family & your loved ones...May God bless us all. ;)
